Poddling Around The Garden
We’ve never really gotten around to doing much with our garden. It’s in the long long term plan, on the other other list.
That doesn’t stop it attracting a nice range of beasties though. We get a lot of butterflies, bees and ladybirds. When there aren’t too many of the neighbourhood kittens and cats around we also see tiny birds and frogs. I’ve even had the crap startled out of me by a late night (supernaturally enormous) fox.
One happy afternoon we found this delightful little tyke. It’s been years since we last had a ‘hog in the garden.
He seemed content to just have a munch, but since I was watching from so close he ambled up for a stroke! How very lovely.
We hung out for a while until the fat interloping cat showed up. Oh well. Norby (obviously his name) tottered off away from the big bad pussy cat and climbed into a plastic bag next door. I detached him and sent him on his way.
One thought on “We Are What We Overcome – Podcast Episode 3”
Interesting podcast. I was struck by the nearer absence of talking about personal feelings in a context of talking about feelings. There was a lot of humour used whenever they got anywhere near talking about difficult personal feelings or feelings about each other. In this sense, despite some brave attempts, perhaps an opportunity missed to actively demonstrate “how to do it/be it” and it became an intellectual exercise, where suicide was allowed to sneak out of the room and be about others and not those present. Perhaps such discussions would benefit from having a skilled facilitator who would keep the discussion focused in the here and now. The best example of this is the “check out”, where all are asked to disclose feelings, yet only ‘thoughts’ in the main are offered. However, I will listen to other episodes and would offer encouragement to the participants for what is a valiant endeavour.
