I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this

Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs.

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.”

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.”

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with.

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

I spent almost all of yesterday baking down a pumpkin and converting it into pumpkin butter. My freezer's stocked with enough to keep us until Xmas, if I ration it. Pumpkins seem to disappear out of the shops by the first week of November here, which is frustrating. I'll be doing puree batches next.

In 2020 I was handed the keys to an old walled garden. I thought I was going to grow vegetables. Instead, wildlife returned. People came. Children came. It changed my life. I wrote the story down. It’s called Nature’s Acre. Read the book. 🌱 gardeningwell.ie/natures-acre

I saw this sign posted on Tumblr and thought "is that a chainsaw, or is it in fact an extremely hardcore duck?"

A photo of a sign that indicates "no chainsaws allowed", made from a stylized image of a chainsaw surrounded by a red circle with a diagonal line through it. The photo was taken by the person who runs the qualitysigns.tumblr.com blog in Doncaster, UK, in 2025.

A picture of a duck by me. The duck's head is shaped like the chainsaw from the sign in the previous image and the rest of the duck is spiky and studded to match. The caption says "chainsaw duck".

The Rozmans were at the same ceremony as I. Jay got his PhD in Irish History in the same city I first srsly encountered the Irish language, where Himself and I looked at the country (in 1995) and said, "Someday. We want to live there." And yes, there's a sense of guilt and escape and roots and all.
