Tonight I'll be 'signing off' social media for #FallowFebruary - my annual #SocialMediaBreak month. 🌱 In the context of mental wellbeing, "fallow" takes on a metaphorical meaning, drawing parallels to the agricultural practice...

Every year I take the four weeks of February as an opportunity to take a break from all my social media. I call it 'Fallow February'. This year I can't wait! 'Fallow ground is simply ground that's been left unplanted for a period of time and left to rest and regenerate.' 🌱

My cat, Pebbles. She does have legs btw.

For 2025 my theme is: NOURISH Body | Mind | Soul Basic rule of thumb: is this food/activity/relationship/media helpful or harmful to me? This begins with making conscious choices about intake and consumption, which after a while become unconscious habits.

It's #WorldIntrovertDay

I've taken the decision to 'downscale' my presence and activity on 'social media'. So 2025 will start with be coming off X and BlueSky. I'll keep my Facebook account (mainly for the groups I'm in), and my Instagram account (as I prefer the visually creative opportunities it provides).

Perfect Saturday evening!

This evening's Christmas movie: Carol (2015) 'An aspiring photographer develops an intimate relationship with an older woman in 1950s New York.'

The Yule cat (Icelandic: Jólakötturinn, also called Jólaköttur and Christmas cat) is a huge and vicious cat from Icelandic Christmas folklore that is said to lurk in the snowy countryside during the Christmas season and eat people who do not receive new clothing before Christmas Eve.

Watching one of my top 10 favourite Christmas movies... #KrampusNacht #Krampus

Today's Advent Film Favourite: 'It's a Wonderful Life' (1946) In which an angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed. BUT should I watch the B+W or COLOURISED version?

Smoke detector started beeping around 2am (cos it's cold). I reset it. Not been back to sleep since. It's now 3.50am. 😳

Don't you hate it when you doze off while watching a film on TV, run it back to catch up and discover you've missed over half an hour... 😳

Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people and I’ll tell you what you believe.

Hello lovely friend, I would like to wish you an amazing, magnificent, relaxing, joyful, brilliant, magic, exciting, fantastic, loving, wonderful, serene, mega fun and absolutely gorgeous Sunday with beautiful nature, fresh air, bird song and delicious cakes 💕☀️🌿

Welcome to #Caturday 😻

Thanks to #StormBert I'll be stopping indoors for as long as needed today. 🌧️☂️ Opportunity to put up my minimalist Christmas tree and decorations! 🎄😀

Even if we disagree about everything, we can still be kind to each other.

Word of the Day is 'snollygoster' (19th century, US): meaning 'one who abandons all integrity in favour of power'.

I occasionally post food pics. This is my Fish Friday tea/dinner: salmon fillets, with tender stem broccoli and melted Stilton cheese.

What's rhe first image comes to mind when Storm Bert is mentioned..?

Bought myself a Christmas tree. 🎄

Post you from a different era. Circa 1998 - married (1st time)
