Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Sitting in the sun, I’m soaking in its healing warmth. It is a welcome balm after what has been a challenging few months. Today, I am honouring a promise to myself: to return to finish a project I began last year. 110
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Frog spotting continues. 2 days ago there were about 30 of them in the pond Yesterday 51 Today 70 Such an incredible variety of colours and designs. From almost black to various shades of brown, speckled coral, red and different tones of green This gentleman posing under his rock 030
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Footage of frog-pawn filmed up close and personal in the pond today. Winking, blinking and croaking in the early afternoon sunlight. Spring has sprung 😍 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 03/03/2025And then I wrote a blog about mindful moments in which sitting in nature has enabled me to detach from the shenanigans going on in the world. open.substack.com/pub/georgina...open.substack.comMindful MomentsTwo frogs are wrestling at the bottom of the water. Their fat limbs perform slow motion knockouts. They tumble and turn with plump legs flailing and grappling with an instinct to thrive. Two amphibiou... 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Yesterday and today was not only about spotting frogs as but newts too. Water quality must be good as they seem to be thriving happily in our pond. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Totally agree. War is such an archaic way of solving an argument. Causing harm to others is an astonishingly outdated ethos. It shouldn’t be peace at any cost but come on there are better ways. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Enjoyed playing spot-the-frog this morning as they sat on the bottom of the pond. This is probably about 3 feet deep. I counted 8 frogs just sitting in the sunshine. Whether they were actually sunbathing or not I wouldn’t be able to tell. Such a a joy seeing them though. 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 01/03/2025I’m writing about how stories connect us to each other. Annoying thing is that my mind has gone blank when trying to think of any stories that prove that stories matter. I’ve got loads to say but I need the personal touch to demonstrate why I believe what I believe. Time for a walk then. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 28/02/2025What a magnificent creature. I just love the colours and patterns on those feathers. Stunning. Would make a fabulous textile design. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 28/02/2025What a magnificent creature. The patterns and colours of those feathers are stunning. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Celtic Knot tree. On my walk today I ended up on one of my favourite mountain roads. A quiet narrow lane that is surrounded by ancient lichen encrusted thorn trees. They feel like they have been there since the Stone Age. Magical. 040
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 26/02/2025What is good in your world today? For me the sun is out and spring is on its way - my favourite time of year. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I've just realised today's blog started with talking about blue skies and hope. Go figure! I've been seriously pondering where and how I want to show up online especially as I have so much that I want to do. I'd appreciate it if you let me know what you think! open.substack.com/pub/georgina...open.substack.comReflections in the sunshine, spring beckons and new ideas are budding.The sun is glorious again today. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I’m looking forward to seeing other gems that you plan to share. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I’m so looking forward to exploring these amazing places. Thank you for sharing. 100
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 08/02/2025With all of the craziness in the world I can’t help feeling that more than ever is imperative we stand for individual sovereignty, autonomy, universal tolerance, acceptance of our beautiful differences and above all love. 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 07/02/2025The question is what if you don’t? What are those small business owners going to be missing out on? In my view community is everything in inspiring business owners to thrive and enjoy the rich soils of a healthy community culture. What is not to love about that? What have you got to lose? 😄 110
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I feel that it’s worth the effort though. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 07/02/2025There ya go! Follower number 1. Looking forward to seeing whether you post cool stuff or… 🤣 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 06/02/2025I didn’t even know that this was a thing. Now I need to know more about this practice. I’ve so many things that I want to do that I’m happy to strive for immortality. 110
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Both are pretty good. I like the contrast of the darker green but the gold says Angels more than the green to me. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 06/02/2025The trouble with being a book addict & having such a huge collection of books is that it is nearly impossible to let go of any. Each you pick up you either fall in love all over again or curiosity makes you want to investigate the unknowns further. There are so few that can fly free from my clutches 040
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Some of the pictures are astonishing. Stunning 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 05/02/2025The last couple sentences left me flummoxed. I had to reread the opening pages for it to truly land. In my opinion… There was a missed opportunity to add more depth and meaning to the conclusion even circling back to remind the reader of the opening premise that sets the scene for the whole story. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Just finished reading Karen Lord’s book The Best of all Possible Worlds. It took me a while to bond with the voice of the lead character but reading about the author helped. Whilst an enjoyable read, for me it left too many unanswered questions about the various side stories within it. 100
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 05/02/2025It’s always a tussle between decluttering the house & dedicating time to writing & my art. I need the space to think but I also need to commit to achieving certain goals with my creative work. Then there’s the bus… but then if there were more hours in the day I’d probably add more to the list 020
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Wait? What? 585 followers? And I haven’t even started yet. Huge thank you to YOU I am in the process of summarising what I’m likely to write about. I’m hoping that putting that into a pinned post will help people decide whether I’ve got anything pertinent or entertaining to offer. 050
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Audio books is just another way to consume the written word Listening to a great reader who sometimes happens to be the author can bring the book alive far better than my imagination. I listen to a lot as I work on things that don’t require my brain power. Yes there’s nothing like reading for real 060
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 25/11/2024He does his duty very diligently although secretly I don’t think often enough. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Ah apologies. The preview on the previous link appeared to be for the festival. Your retreat looks delicious. Very tempting. 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Yes it is brilliant. Any time spent on a retreat in Ubud would have high expectations from me!! 🤣🤣 The place has so much to offer 😄 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Ubud writers festival is awesome. Amazing people were there last time I went. Highly recommended. ❤️ 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Oh I have to follow that one. This is my boy who makes me sit still long enough to read my ever increasing pile of tbr books. 120
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 24/11/2024A brilliant way to find your people here on BlueSky. 181
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Not just you. It is cleaner, clearer and brighter. 010
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Me too. I saw something somewhere that they will be funded by additional services offered. Haven’t seen any evidence of that - yet. I love that they also say that a megalomaniac might try to buy the platform but because it’s open source someone else can ‘whip up’ another copy in no time. 100
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I’m wondering which maverick you’re thinking of. There were a few. 🤣 110
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 22/11/2024It’s made even better by reconnecting with those amazing forward thinking people who were pioneers in the early days of social media. They are the way show-ers who are not just demonstrating the magic of being authentic & curious they are living & breathing what it is to be open to new ideas 110
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 22/11/2024It’s fab. I’ve fallen into a massively inspiring book community of writers, publishers, book shops, reviewers etc. I’m blown away and hugely inspired. Feels like home! 000
Georgina Lester @georginalester.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Oh no!! Poor puppy. Something similar happened to one of our dogs. The vet was a bully and didn’t listen to the dog when she told her that it was hurting. Poor dog was a nervous wreck every time we had to do her claws after that. 110
