When Gayle and I married (48+years ago), it was not on our dance card to struggle against fascism, extreme hatred, anti-DEI, anti-intellectualism, extreme racism verging on hysteria ... in our retirement years. As we watch our carefully planed retirement fade, and attacks on SS, and on Democracy deepen, I wanted to find a happy place this morning. So much of our lives together is stored on film and print that have not been digitized that I settled for a trip to Hawaii' in 2001.

This at Waipi'o Valley and beach with our daughter to have fun and to explore the magnificent normal fault scarps - a happy memory.

Ich teile übrigens Inhalte wie die des Bots @biodiversitypix

- damit wir die Schönheit nicht übersehen,
- damit wir uns nicht an das Grau-in-Grau gewöhnen,
- damit das Doomscrolling nicht gewinnt.

Today I am back to my #CraftRoom and my #HappyPlace making up colours for my #PolymerClay miniatures. It’s been too long. #No52 #DollsHouse

Sicherlich einer der schönsten Momente aus 2024
Wanderpause... und natürlich gibt’s Kuchen ღ

Baking time! Ik zit wat achterin de kerstmenu’s, zodat ik verschillende taarten, toetjes en koekjes kan bakken.

Beetje Ray Charles en Ella wishes you a swinging Christmas erbij. We beginnen met koekjes. #HappyPlace

We are at a Pic Service Broadcasting gig in #Bristol this evening.

There are people of all ages and musical genre affiliations (seen some rockers, punks, indie kids) here.

It's chuffing glorious.

Also, first time in the mosh out since 2022. #HappyPlace

Meet Vanessa Bell and friends. Small tree, roses and first set of bulbs planted. The new border perennials are more or less complete now. Just need to watch them fill out next Spring and work out what spaces might be left for more…

Out at the lake, with my favorite person, drinking my favorite cheap #Costco #wine, listening to #RadioParadise mellow mix. #LifeIsGood

Enjoy your holiday, #Americans. You've earned it. Send the Boss to voicemail (unless its #Springsteen. Take that call). Happy #LaborDay.

One of the things I love about my locals is the bartenders pick the music. Depending who's behind the bar it will be anything from old rock to punk, classic hip hop to something modern. Variety, spice of life and all that.

The sun was out again, feint breeze and the wind chimes clanging quietly, I decided to spin a little. It was #bliss, my #happyplace @frogglin #spinning #TDS #dropspindle
