Made a roast chicken today for late lunch like it’s Sunday. Was an excellent half term meal decision, not the least as I’m working this evening. Done half fancy some pudding though.

I feel so calm about loads of awful things recently. I think it’s because brains reset values for coping but damn it’s nice not to be running on adrenaline.

Flossed my teeth on Sunday (as I do every day) & accidentally pulled out a massive filling, & it bled, so obviously worried I’d get infection, need my tooth pulled. So relieved this morning, dentist just shrugged & refilled it. Said I’d need a crown in the end, but we know that already etc.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

This poorliness has come and gone and come back and gone and come back. After a few days of feeling fine I was violently ill again last night. It’s absolutely exhausted me, and home from work now already in jamas ready to crash on the sofa.

I have supervision at 9 and quite frankly I’m not excited. It’s an expensive long talk about being a counsellor and often philosophical but I could do without it today, really.

The Saxon baptistry at St. Peter, Barton-upon-Humber might be even older than the C10th tower. Both were built (in part) with Roman stone transported by river from Yorkshire. Many burials beneath are older than the church.

The initiative will provide €325 (£283) a week to 2,000 eligible artists based in the Republic of Ireland. This follows a pilot (for which 2,000 artists were randomly selected from 8,000 applicants).

I love that people are brave enough to show their faces on their avatar, but I also REALLY TRULY love when people have cartoons and drawings like mine when chatting. I feel like I’m watching everyone from comics & kids shows all grown up. World of Richard Scarry etc
