Unreasonably excited about new incense day. Fully ready for this to be my middle-aged golf/candles/minions phase but it's just incense.

A few weeks ago we found a purple dachshund hanging out in the succulents. A few days later we found another one in a wall outside. Yesterday we found one in the Monstera. We don't know where they're coming from. Some of you are suspected. Trust no one.

Get up at 4:30am and walk up the hill not sure if anyone will be there, have a nice little pagan prog rave until the sun comes up, then down the local for pre 7am pints. Beltane.
