currently reading “What We Found In The Ground” by Eleanor Bruce & Lucilla Gray

Love making plans for the next day when on holiday, and then changing them when the rain comes in heavier than expected.

Probably a game day, some games of ‘a Gentle Rain’ and teach my partner a few more cooperative games that we’ve got on the shelf.

Going to also try to keep getting ahead of myself with the draft post for the daily journal post, images and writing prompts, see how many I can do over the next couple of weeks.

↠ find Poetry Pharmacy locations
↠ three journal images
↠ mirror three posts from BBB to KoFi
☑ clear Bluesky bookmarks
☑ review for Things We Found in the Ground
☑ look into The Friulian Group for a New Photography

Exploring Newcastle-upon-Tyne with my new iPhone and came across from The Biscuit Factory to find this staircase which looks so good in black and white.

This is available to buy on my Redbubble account

This feels right for today when I feel full of indecision and tired, not able to make a move forward with much.

So rather than avoid a decision I’ve added a couple of routine tasks to the to-do list that will take some part of my projects forward at least.

There are other things coming up in the near future as well which I’m completely unsure of what to do and am finding it difficult to get a handle on them, but the card is a reminder that decisions are difficult but need to be made.

Been pootling away at different things throughout the day but have added, Bookie’s Bookstore, Chicago, USA, Wolf and Kron Books, New Jersey, USA, Bloodstone Books California, USA, One More Chapter, and Radcliffe on Trent, England to the indie bookshop directory, Primrose Hill Books  to the book token directory on the blog and added Taller Books to the indie press directory, clearing off my bookmarks on Bluesky
