Awful fire in the Fruit and Veg Stalls(?), in the historic Market Place, in Kingston upon Thames. I used to work in a shop on the opposite side of the square.

Some guerilla gardening on my flats' gardens. My mother would have loved these sunflowers. Bushy Park, grass reaped and piled up, not sure if this is to provide food for the deer? It's the spot that they put out a bale of hay as a supplement, in the winter.
Photo of sunflowers growing on grass, next to tarmac path and white shed.Photo showing a circle of close mown grass in the park, with a heap of it placed in the middle. The grass looks beige like hay. There are deer hiding in the shade of tree behind this.

Walked along the river from the Jazz Stage at Orleans Gardens towards the centre of Twickenham. So many different types of music. I then took a bus to Twickenham Green, and I was shocked to see it was just dusty soil, with the odd beige bit of what looked like straw. I've never seen it like that.
Poster advertising the High Tide music festival in Twickenham today, along the river and in different venues in the town, and on Twickenham Green. Open to 10pm.

In Bushy Park Walking along the only shadowed path, by its enclosing wall. You g stags are scittering back and forth in front of me. Looking. for small patches of green, and a slightly cooler place to be. I feel wisely humbled as a human to have to wait at a respectful distance every time they move.

Read this book, it's wonderful. I'm on a second reading after a year, and enjoying it even more. I live near here so I have many memories overlapping in different times, with different people and alone. Much as it is in the book.
Cover of book A Thousand Paper Birds by Tor Udall.
A white circle with 2 origami figures and a bird bordered by plant leaves and flowers on a yellow background Reviews and brief description of the story.
A young widower roaming Kew Gardens meets an artist. There is also a mysterious young girl and gardener. Secrets, melancholy, and gentle intimacy.

Is this what May weather is like now, because climate change? Within a few days it's gone from high 30's degree centigrade and too hot to sleep; to 115 degrees centigrade rolling thunderstorms and halestones, and vice versa?

Two films I really loved watching, recently.
Film poster for The Sheep Detectives (yes, literally, it's Sheep solving a murder)Film poster for Remarkably Bright Creatures. It starts off with a cleaning woman who is widowed and lost her son, and her bond with an Octopus 'Marcellous' - who is captive in an aquarium.

Bushy Park, dramatic tree shadows in the sun. I'm still.in a coat but everyone else is really warm!
Photo. Silhouetted tree shadows and person's shadow across a pale brown earth path and dark green to paler grass. On the diagonal 
 Row of trees on the horizon. Similar photo to the other one. But path is along the left side and person low down in the centre. The tree shadows making a strange  sweeping diagonal from the right above them  to the top left, and multiple 'dripped' lines of shadow from the main line down to the bottom left corner.
Same grass with trees on horizon

This chocolate bunny is very nice. But I'm as bad as I was as a kid, still getting chocolate stains on me. How did this stain happen!!!! I just washed this! I still feel weird it's animal shaped. Plus it's my Chinese Astrology sign. I think I might feel the same for egg shaped or flower shaped!🤷‍♀️

I liked a photo post someone else shared in a fan group. Without thinking about them having taken it from a private account. Angry with myself, and thankful it's now removed. Sometimes the 'Parasocial relationship' of social media means I forget about privacy/ boundaries. Stupid of me. Balance⬇️
Photo of me that I forgot to delete, possibly checking make up, who knows! I'm raising my eyebrows giving me lots of forehead wrinkles and staring with overly wide and crossed eyes into space. Glasses perched on the end of my nose.
