@stueytheround Good for you, Stuey! Hope you find another job soon.

@NiveusLepus I feel your pain. Been awake since 4 am myself! Hope you get a nap! x

@Mandypar I don't blame you. I get a close friend to come with me now whenever I have to talk to them face to face. They have had me completely traumatised over the years. I once had my benefit stopped, without warning, because my ex told them I was working (I am not, nor have been able to for over 20 years!). That feeling that someone sitting at a desk somewhere has such power over your life is terrifying.

@Mandypar Oh I did all that, but all they do is tell you to wait in line on the phone or on the web page. Then they cut you off because you've been waiting so long! It's taken me forever to actually get hold of them. I mean, you wouldn't want to be claiming for mental health issues, now would you? Never mind physical disability. It's enough to send you over the edge!

So, after reapplying to the Adult Disability people, *last July*, and spending 9 months in an anxious state, I finally got hold of them yesterday. Apparently, I was awarded the benefit again, a month ago, BUT, the letter of proof "got lost in the post". I mean, you just can't make this stuff up, can you?

@Mandypar Morning! Chilly this morning but it promises to brighten up later. Soooo looking forward to warmer weather! :)

@process A peaceful place is a gift to treasure. I love sitting in mine and just listening to the birdsong too

@JoyfullyDazed Thank you hun. Sorry, I've had such a full-on day, I just saw this. Lots of love back to you. <3

@Nick_Searles Exactly! Funny how his morals change according to who he wants to vote for him.

@GaryPoole haha, yeah, they seem hotter, the older you get!

I saw you,
as if in a dream
Beautiful in your fragility
Wings soft swimming
In bright broken air
Eyes like moons
Shining in still waters
On a clear night
A sweet meeting
Your eyes on mine
Locked together
In a kind of wild love.
The skylarks in my heart
Sing sweet serenades
Over the moor today
And bold wheatears
Have returned for their gold
Primroses glow
Milkmaids blow
And daffodils sprinkle
celandine shadows
All along the hedgerow

@CinnamonGirlE Ugh, I can't be bothered today. It's blowing a gale outside, lashing rain, and my whole being just wants to keep warm and cosy for today!

@CinnamonGirlE Good morning! Thats me today, still sitting on top of my bed with coffee! I did get up to do some things, but sat down here again ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ˜•
