Tea time by the pond. I’ve been on another photo walk. That’s 2 in 2 days. Feels good to be out creating. ☕️

Sunset in the village today. It was beautiful. 🌅📷

The colours have got crunched in the upload (which is an internet thing, not a Micro.blog thing, as far as I know 🤷‍♀️). It looks amazing on my phone but has lost a lot of drama in the sky when I look at the uploaded version.

I had a nice cup of tea in the park today, by the pond. Earl grey and honey. Yum! ☕️

It’s a bit of a grey day 📷

It’s been a nice day

A love letter to: Autumn, you are welcome

When you come, places begin to become islands again after the summer, with the rising tide of colder weather.

Anxiety is pretty intense today. It’s kicking my ass. I came into the park: watching the trees and just breathing this air is helping a lot. I love windy days like this. It’s only 12C and it feels so good to be outside.

Updating categories on aeryn.me - RSS feed updates

Just a heads up for anyone following this blog by RSS. I’m updating and changing, deleting, and re-organising categories on this blog. Which will affect Category RSS feeds. These may break. I’ve already put in some redirects but maybe I missed, or messed some up. Or will do, as this will be ongoing for a little while.

The only feed that is definitely safe is the main site feed, here:

Recently

I went to music group today and I’m really glad I went because I nearly didn’t. It picked me up and it was nice to be around creative people. I sung and played tambourine. A good scrambled egg on toast was had in the cafe, and another chapter of the wheel of time.

Sunday I took a little walk, here’s a snap I took on my phone

A field of long grasses with trees in the background

I feel weird about being away and now being back home again. Finding myself feeling very tipsy-turvy.

I began reorganising my living space but ran out of steam half way. So I’m living in a weird state of tiptoeing my way round things I should probably sort out asap.

I decided I can’t handle the side effects of these particular meds so I’m going to contact the doc to see about changing them. Or maybe just going med free again. I’m not sure what to do about it tbh.

I like reading and writing longer posts. So I’m thinking about doing that a bit more.

The end. And I lived happily ever after.

I wish I had this kind of energy

A summer scene by wide angle of a clearing surrounded by trees, with the tree canopy, moon, and blue sky overhead.

Delaying Starbucks to sit, breathe, and take in this beautiful place. The air is sweet and humming with vibrancy.

I feel so lucky that this park is less than five minutes from my home. Over the years it has become my sanctuary. 📷

Nice morning! 📷

The pond is a peaceful place https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/132229/2024/20240724-pond-reflections-abney.mp4

Morning coffee in the park, soaking in the sun.

It’s always a treat to sit here under the trees, by the pond, and in the rain. 📷📹 It’s very peaceful (because everyone else goes home)
