When I was little my parents got a new hot water heater and it came in a great big cardboard box📦. My mother made the box into a playhouse. I think it was the most exciting toy I ever had. Not that it was exclusively mine but it might as well have been. I only had eyes for it. It even had windows!🪟

When I had cats I gave up buying them toys because the cardboard box that they tin food came in was better than anything else I could line up.

I love that there is a drag queen called Maud Gonne Wrong. She is one of this Cork drag family.

Damn. I hope her TV series lasts as long as her character lasts in #TheArchers. Or she may one day be eating her hat.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌍

#DidYouKnow Healthy ecosystems support healthy minds?

IPBES #NexusAssessment confirms: biodiversity and functioning ecosystems improve mental health. Access to biodiverse environments facilitates recovery from stress, depression & other health-related conditions.🏡🧪
An upward view of a lush forest canopy with tall trees stretching toward the sky. The image shows numerous straight, tall tree trunks with textured bark and vibrant green foliage overhead. The trees appear to be mature hardwoods, creating a dense, natural cathedral-like ceiling of leaves. Text overlaid on the image reads "NATURE HEALS" and "Biodiversity supports mental health" in dark text. A smaller text block from the IPBES Nexus Assessment describes the relationship between nature and health. The IPBES logo appears in the top right corner. The photograph emphasizes the height and density of the forest, with sunlight filtering through the leaves creating a natural green glow throughout the scene.

Butterflies are often associated with the mythical Tylwyth Teg, the Welsh fairy folk. Legend tells of an enchanted island with beautiful flowers and butterflies belonging to the Tylwyth Teg, which humans could visit but were not to disturb.
Art my own.
