 Hi!
Hello!
Annyeonghaseyo!  <-- Hello in Korean! I had to Google it too! 
How are you? What grabs your attention these days, all the marvels that steal your breath away? (and hopefully return it afterwards...!)

I am officially nominating January as Best Month of the Year!
Okay okay, it's the only month we've had so far this year, but still!
We have had so much rain, and cooler weather, the world is so stunningly green, I think this is what it must be like to live in rural Britain! Or like Switzerland if someone stole the mountains! 
Everything smells of living things! (Which can sometimes be a mixed blessing...)

Rain is amazing! 


My view from the car window as we, literally, streak by! 
Zooooooooooooom! 

To be fair, our driver's side window doesn't roll all the way up and when there is a lot of rain some droplets come in to sit on our shoulders or lap! 
And if another car goes past into a deep, spraying puddle... more pet raindrops!!
*shakes like a shaggy dog!*

The office isn't taking the rain too well though, there are buckets & bins and all sorts of things, out and about straining to catch all the 
tiny
tricky 
raindrops!
that
get
everywhere!

The storm also knocked down a chonky branch from this tree! 
You have to be very careful going around it...

VERY CAREFUL! 

One last clomp of Jacaranda flowers! We were so happy to find it because it was the last bunch we saw before they all went away - it was seen, it was noted and it existed! 
Perfect! 

Meanwhile drama indoors!
One of the malls is trying to catch the free-flying, free-range pigeons that have decided to live inside the building. I think they've started to nest and, given enough time and generations, started to evolve into their own specialized mutation of mall-pigeon! (They're like normal pigeons only they demand to see the manager if their crumbs are stale!) 

I'm sure they have their own ideas on all this:

Doesn't this bow look a tad unsettling? Like a large, looming spider, or limby creature, with it's back legs folded underneath it while the front legs creep, creep, forward, prospecting for pray or BLOOD!!! 
I have a lot of time to think about such things when stuck in traffic...

But if you'd rather have the scary more
IN YOUR FACE!
I know a place! 

Oh look look look! I'm always Smurfing on about 'Smurf this' or 'Smurfadoodle that' and then, what do I find on in the middle of the pavement walking home?!?
How absolutely Smurfy!!!

(not necessarily taken this week, but we over look timing for presentation, because, eeep so pretty!!!)

Poem of the week
Three was rain
then there was more
yet Jo
left no
muddy prints on the floor!
* Which after seeing the state of her feet was really just amazing!

In other news

I lost my stress ball last week, dropping it in the 1 place, the 1 place, it could get lost in!
I wrote a very heart rendering poem about it. 
*wipes tear*

I've been writing a TON of poems lately! They're usually very short and interesting, and not sad and dodgy I promise, and are literally day-to-day journal entries on what's happening to me that day, and yes, I am shamelessly sharing the link here!

For the people who will bookmark and read it - YOU GUYS ARE BEST GUYS!!!!!
To the rest?
Eh well!

Bren has started going back to gym on weekends, which is really Better Than Nothing (BTN - our motto for the year for good things), he hasn't been in in a while due to work, time, and swirly-whirly thoughts on the subject!
GO MR B!!!!

Most everyone is back at the office and it's time to knuckle down and work hard at avoiding working hard!!

Let's get busy and do what we do best - whatever that might be!
From the couple who put their best effort in, even if it's something icky we just want to get over with,
~JoBren!

Allo! How goes? What have you been up to and will your descendants ever live it down? (I don't have descendants so LOOPHOLE!) Right, lets get down to the meaty chunks (literally) straight away! I fully engaged in having 1 of these last Monday and so that is why there was no weekly letter: Basically it's having both Boobs snipped off! Do they allow use of the word 'Boob' here? Hope so!  side note : aren't the blurry lights from Bren's PC most beautiful?! Anyone who's had bits of their bits snipped open/up/off will instantly recognize the ever fashionable outfits they get you to wear at surgery... I managed to put the surgical gown on the wrong way round with the opening at the front, not the back. I thought it looked dead stylish but the nurse insisted that my bum, decked out in these elasticated undies, had to poke through the back or the doctors feelings would be hurt.  Possibly it's a cultural thing...  Sadly the surgery ended in tragedy... 😭 Okay obv...

Goodest of Good Day to you!! How have you been? What have you been up to and did it leave your toes tingling?! I thought so!  I have been SO MUCH BETTER lately! A few dietary tweaks for the better, a lot of rest, a smidgeon less stress, and my life force is back to   BEAMING ! Thank Smurf!! Seriously lying about ill is no fun, everyone with a Chronic illness, I FEEL YOU!!!! Take it easy please!   During my incarceration time spent at home, I did watch the birds! We have some fantastic little fellows who bob along and sing and clumsily chase after bugs and provide utter amusement for those with the time to sit and stare out the window at them. This large friend came visiting recently and had his own impromptu photo shoot!  Don't you wish you could eat those beautiful berries too? (Please do not eat those beautiful berries, they are the Berries of Deepest Regret and not made for human tummies) And yes, much time was spent in the park, walking illness off.  Sw...

Hello! Good day! Good year!  Tire brand! And there is our word association game of the day!  I do hope you are weller than well and ready to take on the day with the ferocity of a cornered shrew!  Any BIG plans for the year? I always find small plans tend to be less stressful and actually stick & work out, have you noticed? So saying I don't have any.  We had a lovely holiday, I actually thought it would be more along the lines of this:  But actually we were rather  out  &  about!  All over really! It was great fun! I did sneak into work from the 17th to the 20th, they still took the leave off, but I got to use the water here and have the whole place nearly to myself - it was GLORIOUS!  Mind you, guess which small, bouncy person worked on the only floor where they didn't put the lights on? I felt like I was at a casino!  Yes, fine fine, but what about the HoLIdaYs?!  <--aka the important stuff!  We did a lot of ...
