Will power

The weather has been miserable. I have kept up the running, albeit so slowly that people smile at me with a mixture of tenderness and pity.

I've also kept up the AI work - as well of course as the blogging, the Sentinel Trees, the badgers... and proper work when I have it. How did I fit in Saudi football and Italian football? Oh yes, that took less time than the AI and paid about ten times more. Sickening.

I need will power to extend to:

changing my sleep pattern

changing my peanut butter pattern

doing more gardening

doing some dusting

getting back to practical volunteering

Just thinking it is tiring.

If I could have a dream... it would be living in Devon and just walking, reading, writing, yoga and occasional trips to town for theatre/ballet.

The stars are so bright there. The water is so clear.

Today, in the garden, no hawk, but I did see a brave mouse, an anxious squirrel and a pair of robins having a song contest, feathers raised in annoyance, in the back lilac. All that felt like a blessing.
