Some Surprises…
2nd March 2026
Good afternoon my most beautiful and precious starshine {} xxx
It’s 12.56 and the sun’s beaming just for you. They can’t wait to join you for lunch.
How are you my lovely? I really hope, despite the gusty wind, you slept soundly and restfully. I hope you’re okay my lovely and you’re having a wonderful start to the day. I hope everything’s going really well. I imagine coffee worked their special magic, and you loved every minute {} xxx
A recorded clip of The Stone Roses singing Going Down, at JB’s Junction 10, on 3rd June 1989, was posted on Twitter. I never knew the venue existed in Walsall. Did you ever go there? If you did, who did you see? It’s a shame it closed after four years. Blur, Jesus Jones and Pop Will Eat Itself played there as well.
It’s 13:13. Thoroughly enjoy your scrumptious lunch with sun for me too. They’re delighted to join you {} xx
Have you seen Chéfé, the kebab instrument? Here’s the Twitter post with Danaël playing it. It’s wonderful. I found Danaël talking about his instrument on YouTube. It’s shame there’s no option for an English translation. This is the translation of the text in the description:
“In his workshop in Villeurbanne (69), Danaël is experimenting with a brand new instrument he has nicknamed Chéfé. Inspired by the kebab spit, this rotating device is attracting a lot of attention online.” – Le Dauphiné Libéré
Finally, have you seen the North American Forest Tent caterpillar? It looks like they’re wearing a penguin jumper. Such a cutie, but they’re seen as pests. They’re social moths and usually found in large colonies, so the negative effects of defoliation is greater. It’s the first time I’ve heard that term.
Garra rufa fish, used for pedicures, has just come to mind. The thought makes my tummy churn. Poor fish.
My time with NAC was fleeting. I’m normally exhausted when I can’t get to sleep, but I was wide awake and clear headed last night. Admittedly the gusts didn’t help. The sound does unsettle me, yet I love being out in it. I feel alive when I feel the wind on my face.
It wasn’t just my inability to sleep. My body was getting jolted. It felt like my nerves. I haven’t experienced it in this way before. Thinking it could be NAC causing it, I searched and found that it affects hormones as well, so it would affect my thyroid, estrogen and cortisol levels.
My cortisol levels were quite low last year, at 204. It should be 350. It was just before the iron infusions, so perhaps it was due to the anaemia. I’ll know after the cortisol test in May. I am glad my body reacts extremely quickly. At least it’s very happy with L-argenine.
It’s 14:14. It goes so quickly doesn’t it?! I gave fuchsia a tiny hair cut earlier. She looks tidier, and it’ll hopefully help her to branch out a bit more.
My emotional state really is like a yo-yo at the moment. I’m not too bad today, but I desperately need proper rest. Shower first though.
I have enjoyed Bridgerton. They split the series in two, first half in January and second February. The main storyline was a bit like Cinderella. They had their happy beginning.
Here’s Aretha Franklin’s fantastic rendition of Eleanor Rigby, for you to listen to later. I hope you enjoy my precious sweetheart {} xx It’s so cool. Her rendition reminded me of Junior Parker’s equally fantastic Taxman.
I really do hope you’re keeping well lovely, and your loved ones as well. I hope everything is okay {} xx
Take the greatest care of yourself my precious starshine {} xx I hope the afternoon flies by. Sun is eagerly waiting to come home with you. It’s not long now.
Take it gently, and enjoy the most beautiful, chilled and restful evening, doing the things you love. Make your precious heart sing for me too {} xxx
I am thinking of you, and I’m sending you all my love, with the biggest and tightest of magical healing and protective bear hugs, covered in sunshine kisses {} xxxx
It’s 16:16. You’ll soon be making your great escape. Sun’s getting excited. Get home quickly and safely my lovely. Rest well with lots of fun. I love you {} xxx
