Gratitude thread.

• Lovely sunshine
• Cat snuggles
• Compulsory voting and a generally sensible and independent electoral system here
• I get to catch up with some old friends at the weekend
• Summer fruit coming in to season. Blueberries for breakie, yum.

I reckon it could be a good time to read more books and avoid the internet.

Oh my goodness, look at those paws!

My cat's heart isn't working well and he doesn't have a great prognosis, but he's well and happy in himself and I'm focusing on that. We'll be ok.

I've just ordered takeaway for the first time in yonks. Fried goodness is now on the way to me and in the meantime I've poured a glass of wine. I will enjoy it and not wallow.

And I'm putting my fingers in my ears and ignoring the news out of the US.

I use a council gym and it's fab. Pretty cheap ($36/fortnight for the top membership which includes reformer pilates) and it's pretty social too. With really lovely staff and a mandate from council around social inclusion and engagement and stuff. They run events, there's a cafe, and it's just a really nice vibe.

It's not actually my closest council gym though, I travel (a whole ten minutes) to a neighbouring LGA for a shiny new facility.

I'm very thankful for our electoral system.

And here's the thunder.

The barometer's dropping and my migraine's rising. Storm probably incoming. Or rain anyway.

Thanks :) He's been dropped off now so someone else can deal with his small sad noises.
