Having just done two supermarkets then cycled uphill in the rain, this perfectly describes my morning, both metaphorically and physically.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. On the plus side, you can sometimes withdraw cash.

"Requiem for a Tree" (by Amy Stewart)
This is one of the most gorgeous slice-of-life short stories I've read for a very long time.
So sad, and yet also uplifting in a way because of the community reaction.
Give it 5 mins of your time. You won't regret it.

Before I left a really shitty garden centre job i labelled 1500 tree ferns with instructions saying "can get infested with goblins which may burrow into the fibrous trunk to use as dwellings. Deal with these pests by throwing wet breadcrumbs at them and shouting 'NO' very loudly"
