@soul, i'll probably 'memory laps' you day so getting in early and wishing you a Happy Birthday!!! Our winter baby. Were you a 'blue baby' lol oh sorry, the retired midwife in me and SAD just tried to crack a joke (eye role :/) And thanks for remindingbua of some of the positives to winter. Please keep doing that.
@Owlunar, how are you holding up this first day of winter? And @Luna? shaz?/or anyone who doesn't like the cold??Please join in.
Its almost 6am, been wide awake since 5am, and its really cold. Weather forcadt said well get a frost - I reckon the grass will definitely crack under my feet atm - but no way am I getting out from under these covers to find out. A quick dash to the toot was bad enough. Brrr!

⛄ Times like this I wish I had a
🔥 fireplace. Nothing like watching flames dancing around to warm the forehead.
Yesterday the southerly wind had a real chill in it, winter's here. My weatherboard house gets really cold and holds the chill long after outside warms up. If its not windy its kindacweird because morning tea on my veranda is much warmer than in here.
Yesterday I achieved a few things: finally renewed tyres on my trailer, much to my surprise they were only $44 each. Then I picked up a solid word buffet & hutch found at a garage sale on the w'end for $20 (needs work but be worth it - love the woodwork - never been able to afford a new one like that). Funny you know, I got home in the dark, took a toot break and that quick the neighbours cute ginger cat had already checked out the new furniture (still on the trailer) and here she was sittingnon top like a Queen, looking down at me with that look 'do not disturb me' Made me laugh, little miss
🙂 Really hope I get round to some of these projects. Hoping it will boost me outside, in the shed with the big doors open and sunshine. Getting organised is the hardest part for me with new projects like this, I keep losing things
😖 Anyway, bringing these projects home is the easy part, gotta finish them (says fast growing hoarder).
Even with my new affordable tyres, the buy of the year onboard and beautiful scenery on the drive out of town - I still felt so sad and it hit me hard how alone I feel and how meaningless even what I was doing is. Oh boy that sinking feeling really pull downward. I don't cry so much these days, cried out I reckon, ht I did remember to do my breathing deep exercise (neatly nodded off driving) and mentally invited the spiritual essence of all the precious souls in my life (inc forum family), to not feel alone. Here we were all squashed in the car cabin heading home in the twilight of the day lol, It helped.
Oh, daylight (6:30) - time for a coffee
