I have been to an antiques fair (or Angie's fair as autocorrect would have had it). I came away with a 30p purchase: a set of 5 postcards (corresponding stamp attached) of the Christmas stamp designs from 1980. I bought them for work for reminiscence purposes. Now to choose a song to match...
A set of 5 postcards (left to right from top to bottom)
10p - Christmas tree adorned with candles
12p - a candle display flanked by ivy and baubles 
13 1/2p - a bunch of mistletoe and suspended apple baubles 
15p - streamers a paper honeycomb bell and a crown
17 1/2p - a holly arch and suspended baubles

The Magpie Inkcap mushroom turns itself into a black, ink-like liquid. This process helps spread its spores and can leave behind what looks like a puddle of dark liquid in the woods. These striking mushrooms are toxic, so look, but don't touch. 📸: Kathleen Bignell

Take this as your sign to spend a little time outdoors today 💚 Nature has a unique way of reducing stress, calming the nervous system and lifting our mood. It doesn't have to be a big adventure, even a short stroll can help you reset and recharge. #WorldMentalHealthDay 📸: Chester Tugwell

The car is back from the garage. Having emptied it of an enormous amount of stuff, I am trying to reduce what I carry in my 'mobile cupboard'. That said the emergency rain poncho, wellies, angling stool, fleece blanket, two folding sit mats and my walking boots are staying. 🤔

Irritating to be awake at 2am. That's 2 hours earlier than normal (or rather 'usual'). Q Who are these people who sleep for 7 (or more!) hours straight?

A man sits at a restaurant table holding two chips. A woman sitting opposite, with the chips directly in front of her, while he has an empty plate, says “I can't believe how much more relaxed I feel since you told me to calm down.”

I found myself wondering where all my clients were today. Numbers were in the ball park of 'we can probably just about split into two groups' (thanks to lots of support from the volunteer singers). I know some are ill, some are away: September/October-itis. My longest-standing client was in hospital

Had my flu jab today. So far, so good. I shall have to book my Covid one soon. One good thing about not having two jabs at once: I won't have to sleep on my back! Two sore arms and a feeling you have an orange tucked in your armpit is less than ideal.

Away to my bed. Enjoyed a good day's singing with some lovely folk, some of whom I've seen pretty much annually for over a decade now. A challenging but rewarding repertoire. I go to bed tired in a good way.

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

I have a question: why do people turn up to an activity they complain about when they are not there? In my experience, their disaffection is contagious which isn't good for anyone 😕.
