Only just made it in to work this morning. The combination of snow melt and overnight rain has caused widespread flooding. Some roads were only just passable. At least the rain is stopping now which will give the standing water a chance to drain off a bit since most of the snow has now melted too.
So it was the snow which caused problems yesterday and now and tomorrow it will be snow melt plus heavy rain equaling floods. Hey ho…
Just made it home as the snow started to settle and deepen. Switched to a later shift tomorrow so hopefully the rain will have cleared the worst by then…
“Thoughts arise and fall as flowers live and wilt. Stars fade over eons in the night sky and clouds pass and change.
Everything is changing all the time. Thoughts come and go. But who is thinking them?”

Listening to Zen teacher and psychoanalyst Barry Magid’s Ordinary Mind.
Excellent so far. Within minutes I belatedly learned the difference between psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. 🤦♂️ 🧘♂️

This seemed like a suitable companion for the cold and dark drive to work this morning. “Dark and long…” 😉 🎵

Can’t believe it’s a year since I last watched Luke Littler in the final of the PDC World Championship. Can he win it this time…?
Such a lot has happened in the past 12 months. I’m sitting in a different house for a start!
