Feeling rough, change of plans today has left me very disregulated and upset.

I freaking LOVE hearing about people's special interests, it makes me so happy.

So if anyone would like to share something that makes their heart sing, I'd be very grateful 💜

For instance, did you know that bats make up 20% of all mammal species‽ Isn't that incredible! Amazing creatures 🦇

Oh wow! It is incredible.

I’m a bit burnt out after a very busy few weeks, so I’m not singing right now, but had a lovely time at the beach today so that was good.

Hope you’re feeling better soon. Self hugs!

That's nice you had a good time at the beach! I hope you continue to get some downtime 💜💜

Another quiet day tomorrow while partner is at golf. Not as hot tomorrow, so maybe some time in the lovely local park.

What else do you do for comfort when disregulated? My cats help, hugs from the right people, sorting & using my new colour pencils (I can’t really draw, but I love colourful doodles.) Knitting too, but not in summer.

@Susan60 Oh wow, yeah, knitting in your summers would be challenging! Especially a blanket or something, you'd be SO uncomfortable presumably?

In cool weather, I find the feel of yarn soothing, but not in hot weather, even if the aircon is on.

We get some very hot days in Melbourne, but what we might call “hellish” (as opposed to what people from milder climates would think), only happens every few years and for a few days. That could all change of course.

Hmm... My biggest special interest has been Arwen for the last almost 12 years. 🐾 💜

Hope this helps a bit! 🤗

great thread 💚

I feel like you will appreciate the nature nerdiness of this, as i did your bat fact.

@coppercrush A wonderful guide to BUMs. Now I have to know which are edible and which are not. BTW, here's my take on fungi:

I'll then have to fix it Fly agaric doesn't have the Latin name and I'll add English names. And I'll write proper, complete AltText. This might take a while.
