A long rave

[Mazarita]

@CheerBear, not enough sleep so far but will get some more before getting up properly a bit later and doing some things then. First birds happening just as I'm writing to you.

Hi @CheerBear you sound well.

@Mazarita  Thanks for the reminder about the Tarot - might have to use it in a while.

In my waking slowly due to meds funk I just spilled the remains of my coffee over my keyboard.  This is the 3rd spill in the general area of the laptop in a week!!!! %$&#@+***

If I disappear you'll know why.  Hoping it stays ok coz otherwise I'll go stir crazy off the grid this week and will be anxious for my phone to stay ok as no other back-up communication with the outside world while bro and sil are away ... yep I'm having a head trip over this spill.  Sooo avoidable.  When I was a kid they used to say anyone doing any clumsy action was "doing a Cedar trick".  It stuck.

Just noticed ours have started waking up here too @Mazarita   Love bird listening together 😄 It's pretty cold here this morning and a little breezy. There's a deliciously sweet smell of pollen coming with it though. Spring time here is magnificent!

Oh no @eth! That's so annoying. Hope it hasn't damaged the keyboard for you 

[Mazarita]

Oh dear, @eth. Turn the laptop upside down to drain all the fluid out of the keyboard. No worries if you need to go offline to clean it up and try to get all the coffee out. Keeping fingers crossed it's okay.

I love the pollen smells, @CheerBear. Frangipani is one of the strong fragrances here at a particular time of year, can't remember when exactly! I'll have to pay attention to when they come out next time. What's happening for you today?

It seems to be ok so far @Mazarita @CheerBear

On my table here I have yellow lillies and lavendar wisteria @Mazarita @CheerBear making a delightful alchemy of scents.

I miss that smell of the frangipani @Mazarita. I remember the first time I saw them I thought they were beautiful, and when I picked one to smell it I fell in love. It's one we don't have here. We do have magnolia trees in flower everywhere at the moment though, and they almost make up for it! I have one in a pot with buds and am crossing my fingers I will see flowers soon. They're stunning.

Today is working on staying chill while I await news from the housing organisation, and yoga later in the afternoon. Hopefully that hour of calm later in the day will help settle anything that might come up.

How about you?

Just had a google and you should start seeing and smelling the deliciousness around November 🙂 Not too far away now!

[CheerBear]

So awesome @eth - I can imagine how beautiful that smells!

Great to hear the keyboard is ok so far.

@eth, @CheerBear, lovely that you have flowers on your table, Eth. I also love lavendar and use the oil on a wet face washer to cleanse my face some mornings.
