Hot Sunday. I am crawling along below the radar. With a bit of a fever, slight vertigo, nausea and the usual stuff that builds up when you are sick and try to do it anyway. I changed sheets twice last night, almost convinved that the menopause has come back to haunt me. Not sure if I'd mind instead. But never mind. Seriously, never mind.
Because in general, the mood is upbeat. The summer visitors are on their way, the phone calls and bleeps, the fridge is being stocked, the garden and patio beautified, sheets washed and stacks of towels readied. You can never have too many towels.
The world is a beautiful scary mess.
Have a listen. Five minutes of your time. Kate Tempest.
I'm glad the mood is upbeat despite the beautiful and scary mess of the world. I don't know Kate Tempest -- but she's right about the state of the country!

The heart in Kate Tempest's voice is unmistakable.
Thank you for posting this, Sabine. You've introduced me to so much that I could have missed knowing about. Sending love. Always.
Thank you for posting the link to Kate Tempest. I've never heard her before. Enjoy your summer visitors, and I hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeletesitting in the waiting room waiting for my appointment with another person waiting he engaged me in conversation which found its way to social preservation vs self preservation, when one takes over the other. I think it's how you are socialized. we who have plenty have forgotten that we survive via social preservation when things get dire. and so greed, selfishness, disrespect, loss of empathy.

Never have too many towels. Alas, we are poles apart. From time to time I stay in hotels where they share your slogan. In the bathroom I find a pile of towels, dminishing in size in ascending order. I take the top one, the smallest (occasionally it turns out to be the bathmat but I remain fast to my purpose) and use only that. Even on the rare occasions when I bite on the techno-bullet and manage to figure out the way the shower works. I am a Neanderthal innocent and should be confined to my own residence.
