While I'm copying yesterday's photos to my computer, I'll just share some more photos from my recent blog post.
I tried to put the bushes at the lake as framing elements into the #photos. I think it worked out quite okay. -- And while we were on this walk I imagined all the time where and how this could look at sunset or with fog.
Maybe I should go there a again a couple o…

I know the Londoners are going to look at this and laugh as they slowly melt into a pile of sweaty ooze, but trust me, this is starting to feel unpleasantly warm for Up North.
It's got slightly less humid as the day has worn on though.

#WritersCoffeeClub 1 Aug: Why are you writing your current work?
Because as the world has felt like it’s gotten darker and more hopeless in recent months, this project has become a lifeline of joy, hope, and love.
Doing this work and trying to do it well has kept me from spiraling. It keeps me sane. It gives happiness to days that otherwise sink me into pits of despair.
Gosh I know that sounds dramatic but sincerely my fragile mental health is holding on to writing this novel like a lifeline.

On the 10th of December 2024 at about 4pm in the afternoon I had a sudden shivering attack. The room wasn't cold, but I was, so I took to bed and shivered on the electric blanket until I napped for a few hours.
Woke up groggy, and never got better. Feeling light headed and occasionally dizzy and half stoned all the time. Can't handle booze or dope at all any more. Doing the job feels like trying to program drunk, concentration shot and short term memory failing.
Various doctors have ordered batteries of tests and put me on drugs to reduce my blood pressure but nothing that's really helped.
They did an MRI last week. Apparently everything looks normal which is good I guess, but still leaves symptoms unexplained.
There are worse fates than feeling half drunk all the time I suppose.
Given no visible brain damage, about the best suggestion anyone has is to stay off booze and drugs (which is easy, since I can't handle them any more) and get back to meditation. If it's damage so small the MRI can't pick it up it'll get better slowly probably. 🤷
Anyway, they gave me the MRI data upon request, so I spent most of yesterday importing it into Blender and making some visualization.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present: My apparently completely normal brain in an MRI selfie.

Out & about in the Bernina Range, on our way to the Labyrinth, surrounded by majestic 4000ers (meters)... A dream! 😍

I almost forgot this #waterfall. The weekend should be rainy - again.
There might be quite some water there - it's just a bit of a walk to get there 🤔

I did it! My wife convinced me to join a pre work cycling loop. A great start into the day.
