post challenge

This is some heavy sh%t
This is what happens when the council decides to fix something that isn’t broken. You end up making extra trips to the garbage dump to offload your rubbish because 3 weeks is a long time to wait for the next scheduled collection. Unless that was the plan all along to...

Here’s Why Your Actions and Behaviours need to be Congruent with Your Intentions
This quote smacked me right between the eyes when I read it. “We judge others by their actions, be we judge ourselves by our intentions.” It’s a spin-off from a Steven Covey quote: “We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour.” Here’s why it caught my attention....

some kind of bird, late afternoon, back garden, Southam on 15 October

80s Crushes
I ventured out into the post-pandemic world yesterday. There were a few walkers around, but not many. Someone a few cubicles over from me kept coughing. Once upon a time, they would have been tarred and feathered and tossed out into the street. But now, with the vaccine pumping through...
