if you want them. I am glad you have an appropriate walkable park nearby, and I hear ya about the pictures.

The incredible stupidity and hostility of politicians is something we could talk about all day, of course, and in our house we have a moratorium on venting: it's good to let it out every now and again, but not good to be wallowing in it.

Carrie Fisher hit me much more than I'd thought it would - I do not follow actors at all, and the name meant nothing to me. Then I had an 'oh shit, not general Leia' moment. Only once so many people reacted to her illness did I look up what else she'd done, and felt sad that such a brilliant human being had been under my radar.

But I also believe that there will always be other people to pick up the baton. Nobody can be at the forefront all of the time, doing everything by themselves - that's just a recipe for burnout.

I'm still looking for things I can do, places where I can make a difference, and I haven't found my home yet, but I am looking.
