@SarahsScribbles It's interesting that emotions are conceptualised as a blandly generic-looking small child….
@matigo I avoid television news, newspapers, Facebook, Twitter etc. because they are weapons meant to harm me but I read tons of websites and sometimes books. I'm not being assaulted by information weapons as much now which helps my sanity but there is plenty that's still disturbing.

'And the Sumy/Kharkov regions continue to be hammered by artillery from the Russian border for the first time in half a year. Again last night powerful strikes on Sumy were reported, which suggests ‘softening up’ operations.'
@peemee My mum traded-in her first scooter for one with bigger wheels because the older one struggled with some of the kerb drops.

I can just see you pootling up that hill playing Van Halen’s ‘Why Can’t This be Love?’
