Sometimes you have to find the humour and lighter moments in the darkness to get through it. Sending gentle hugs.

Thank you. The timing certainly isn't great.

Full of lurgy, but remembered a premix whisky sour lurking in the cupboard. Telling myself it's medicinal #ConfinedCocktails.

Life is pretty relentless at the moment, but managed a short #UnconfinedWalks in my local nature reserve. I'm lucky to have this quiet space so close.

A lake with trees on the far side. The trees are reflected in the water. There are several ducks on the kale, but the reflection names it hard to see them. It us a sunny day with clear blue sky.

First pre work #UnconfinedWalks for a while and a new seasonal post box topper.

A red pillar box with a crocheted topper on top. The base of the cover is orange. There are crocheted ghosts, spider, cobweb, and squash on top.

Hope it offers a necessary distraction with no interaction. And yes balancing 'normality' in very not normal times is a challenge.

And the changeable weather gave me three rainbows, and some rising mist.

View across a field towards a low rainbow, just above a farm building.
Trees at the edge of a field. There is a rainbow just above the top of the trees.
View across a field. There is a light mist rising from the damp grass.

Back at work tomorrow, so had a longer #UnconfinedWalks today to ground myself. Signs of autumn and a neolithic megalith.

View along a river. There are two ducks on the river bank looking towards the water.
Close up of clusters of red haw berries.
A stone megalith. There are two upright stones, with a flat stone across the top. There is another stone in the middle. The megalith is behind a metal fence.
Close up of two golden brown teasels.

Grey, autumnal day. Took the longer route to the supermarket to get my #UnconfinedWalks steps up.

View towards a lake surrounded by trees, which have hints of the leaves changing colour. The sky is grey and overcast.

This is why we need more pockets! (and sending good thoughts for anything else).
