Hey you, good morning, the old creaking body machine rises from it’s comfort warm pit of slumber sleeps and stands upright like a mini iron giant looking for water and food. We ended up with an omelette and some juice, running low on supplies around here so I’m surprised that even got manifested if I’m honest — still, here we are, ready for another day.
Got used to enjoying the latter end of a month rather than the starting weeks to a month, really gotta flip the script on that thou, at least to have some kind of weekly reflection point, right now I get straight into weekend activities and planning, would love to have another point to add to the other two firm dates in the morning to pause, reflect and take care of things.

I remember when I was in my twenties I’d struggle with all that stuff, literally waiting a whole month before I could do things, I used to hate that monthly grind, I’ve got a lot to be thankful for in hindsight looking back at all the opportunities that digital working has brought me/us — certainly feels like living in the connected future where you are your own market stall across the internet.
I know you are rapidly working on your data and percentage whays at the moment, with in-between chill downs with the little hobby side projects (so freaking cool) I think that’s a really good mental space to be right now, every day is a bit like an out of control cartoon, I’d love nothing more to be a bit more set up to make the moves we need to make — it’s gonna be a great day sitting aside from you making those first miles together.
Maybe it’s mars and it’s martian ways being closer than ever but I’ve been having some really awesome dreams later, they end up being like mini sequels and I’m not sure if they are interconnected in some way, they certainly seem to revolve around the common topics we all deal with in life, quite incredible that we don’t use a huge percentage of our brains up there. Just sitting in this meat sack pulsing away.
Glad I took the time to write you today, I’m feeling pretty good all things considered for this time of year, the weather is sharp and fresh this morning, many people might not like the shock of summer vanishing but I actually love it, the crisp air and the crunch under foot, it’s the perfect time for me to exercise as well because I get that cold start and then warm up into the day, love seeing the wildlife adapt too.
“Set a standard, hold fast to it!”
Got some stoic standards vibes from my book today, set the standards and use them is the message today, love these little one page reminders. If I ever produce a little ebook of any kind it’s definitely going to be in this format, little micro expressions to carry with me each day, maybe on the road, I think a collection of them could be pretty freaking awesome.
maybe just get a bunch of field notes books and document our analog whays and eventually turn that into am interactive book of some kind, linking each youtube video in it, three hundred and sixty five days of it — that might be a stretch but yeah, I’d love to do a year by year for say the first five years or something.
Looking like a lot of places around the world are going back into lockdown again. Personally I’m a lot more prepared food wise than I was before which is a major relief, and while I might feel restricted on other things I’ve got used to working with less and that feels good too weirdly. Maybe because it makes you more active, increasing that side gives me more creative ways of finding solutions instead of overwhelming apathy of where and how I sourced things before.
Right now they are coming up with some kind of ‘traffic lights’ system of locking down certain regions where they are seeing the number doubling every few weeks. I’m not sure how that’s going to work out but hey, it’s coming up to flu season so I can understand the concerns, if only the government cared about the environment as much as this eh. Maybe we wouldn’t have dumped all that plastic at the bottom of the oceans around the world.
But hey, look at us, pulling a flex during the pandemic and semi-righting the ship as we went along, adapting as we could, that’s totally Fine too, you can forget that the rest of the world outside ya window is dealing with similar stuff in varying degrees. getting used to an ever changing world, ever changing climate, that’s the kinda stuff where you have to step up each day, read the tealeaves, filter the data, constantly adapt, it may not sound like the fairy tale of settling down somewhere and growing out ancient fruit whays and flogging mad mead but hey, it keeps us fit and active right? :)
Looking forward to either getting into that later today or tomorrow, see if the finances gods are happy with me this weekend, maybe we can pull out some thing for the start of the week, move our monthly celebration to a week or so in. Late but not forgotten! Another one in the book!
Ok, I think that’s where I’m gonna round things up for now love,
Know I’m thinking of you, hoping you are having a good day,
I’m gonna get my analog sprints in and be right back with you.
Sending warm smiles and big long hugs in the crisp air with cold noses.
Mwah,
