Whoosh......

I have no car. Probably all week. From where I live, I can easily reach fields, a Toby Carvery, a Harvester, a petrol station, a Tesco Express and a Hilton on foot. Rock and roll!

Doozer asked if I wanted to drop him at work. 45 mins each way, plus DS's school run makes, ooh, about 3.5hrs of driving just to keep my car...

The music ones do that for me, and sometimes the book ones too. Also sport ones when we have any.

I think it's a very valid set of questions to pose oneself. We are programmed to learn from previous events, so thoughts / habits / become ingrained if we repeat them, as you say. This has been part of how we behave since caveman times.

However, I'm not convinced it has to be a permanent state of affairs. What can be learnt, can be unlearnt as a general rule. I guess that's why CBT has such a positive outcome for many conditions which involve 'thinking' - conscious and unconscious.

There is also the point that our preferences change over time. Just because you like something aged 20 doesn't mean you have to like it 25 years later - it would be quite weird if no tastes changed in the intervening period, without any biological / biochemical / misplaced thoughts being active.

This is a quote from an abstract REFERRING SPECIFICALLY to a particular condition not things like depression or burnout ok, so nobody panic because some bird with a broken brain is trying to the too hard.....which got me thinking. While its a very specific area, I'm guess I'm curious as to whether altered biochem from other aiteologies is also impactful in this way. I have neither inclination, nor energy to look beyond where I am looking ATM, though I read things I stumble across looking for other stuff. I think that might be how I fell on this.

'M. Long-standing hypercortisolism may cause some degree of irreversible pathological damage and induce highly individualised affective responses based on each patient's psychological assets and liabilities. As a result, upon normalisation of cortisol levels, treatment may still be required, and should encompass both psychotherapeutic strategies (particularly cognitive-behavioural therapies that have been found to be effective in affective disorders) and psychotropic drug treatment [antidepressants such as tricyclic agents and selective serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) reuptake inhibitors]. In patients with severe anxiety, benzodiazepines (e.g. clonazepam in small doses) may also be helpful.'

This is our next area to turn in to garden.


The stumps didn't burn through at the weekend, but they might be breakup able into separate stumps now, which means we'd me able to get them to somewhere more convenient to burn.

The ground there is really, really difficult.

Very wet. Will be a new challenge. Not sure how to paint the wall yet, because thing the ground is to wet to take the scaffold tower yet. Might simply have to wait till much later in the year.

Yes, I agree about the gardening ones, sort of. When they talk about music I've never heard of, I have no idea what they even mean. When they talk about potting out seedlings or similar, then I do at least understand what they are doing, even though it's not part of my own life. Posts with lots of names of plants go over my head though.

I have a car but don't feel safe to drive today. RP is going to have to go out for milk for tea. Fir said this morning that might as well as I don 'to take milk or drink tea any more really.

I was going to paint a fence panel this morning but rain is forecast. . Rain means the next Job on list ( laundry) also gets shunted.

I'd have assumed you'd have a big laundry/utility/boot room space with ceiling hangars and a big Belfast sink.

My washing just goes on an airer 4' from where I'm sitting. In the new house it'll go onto the airer in the downstairs loo if it's wet outside... otherwise it'll go outside on the rotary line.

I have an airer ( flor standing) or two, but it doesn't seem worth it when hanging outside will be possible soon. I'd have had a wash dry this morning already were I more organised.

I have a utility room and do plan a ceiling airer in the future but ....not for summer use really, seems just worth waiting a day or two. .
