Morning cabal! I've just started on This Is Us - sure I've seen some frauen recommend it? The end of the first episode blew me away!

I'm doing a foot peel mask, which is one of my few pampering-style indulgences. If you liked peeling dried glue off your hands as a kid, and you suffer from manky feet, 100% recommended.

Omg YES what one are you using? I have hoofs Satan himself would be proud of hope you bulling trolls are all ok, I’ve been lurking and not posting. Very much here for the wholesome sheep content

I love learning random sheep care tips from you @Falkor!

This Is Us is on our long must watch list which, despite us watching a lot of telly, doesn’t seem to get any shorter!

I’m completely caught up with This Is Us now and I’m impatiently waiting on new episodes! It’s fantastic. I have to be prepared to cry pretty much every episode.

I also really recommend It’s A Sin to all the fraus and herren. Binged it the other night and it’s bloody brilliant and heartbreaking.

 

[Boredofthegram]

I second it’s a sin, binge watched the lot and sobbed on Sunday evening.

Also here for sheep updates

I'm trying a new one from a brand called Wolady so I'll let you know how it goes. I used to use a really good Korean brand called Oh K but it's not available anymore. I tried a different one last year that was supposedly rose-scented, it smelled vile and didn't work. The ones that work are amazing though!

 

[HotesTilaire]

Thanks @Falkor having sheep seems to involve lifting a lot of heavy stuff. I’ve just reached that time of the month and reckon a bucket of caramel toffee would do me just fine actually!

I have not caught up here, so sorry, but I just wanted to ramble about a kind of nice thing, I’ll put it behind a spoiler because I’ve had a drink, it might not make sense, and it’s a bit long!

Spoiler: Just rambling, sorry

ok so I’ve been struggling with depression, I know I’m not the only one here, I wish I was, you’re all so lovely. Anyway, it’s getting a bit better! I LIVE for music, seriously, it’s my obsession, its like the screensaver for my brain. So I know I’m really not doing well mentally when I can’t listen to or enjoy music. Towards the end of last year I knew it was bad because I listened to Midnight In a Perfect World by DJ Shadow, and it left me cold. I LOVE that song, I can’t expalin it, sometimes it haunts me, but in a good way, but I just love it. So when that didn’t even hit me I knew it was bad.
anyway, I’ve just listened to it and FELT it again! That is huge, I’ve maybe got a bit of a long way to go but thank duck I’ve got music again. I just wanted to share this to prove there is hope, for anyone else struggling. Long story short, for me its been depression, grief, more depression, bleeping covid *on top of that, then more grief. Not feeling sorry for myself, but of course that hit me hard, and I’m just amazed to see this little glimmer of happiness
*edited to add, I have not had covid, just the whole situation is tit!

Oh I totally get that! The moment when you feel something again, or your interest is piqued, and you recognise it and think - "I'm a little better!" Lovely feeling when you notice it

I have really missed listening to music in the car on my own, its not the same at home - no idea why! I really have taken solace in music from my teen years recently. Glad you are feeling better and it must give you a boost to recognise that your mood is lifting. The grief thing is hard as sometimes I feel low and assume its other things until I realise what it is and you just have to give into it

Spoiler: Boring bloke update

Well, its been three months since I met him now Remember when I asked your advice at the start? Feels like a lifetime ago (it was a lockdown ago as we had a period of being able to go Christmas shopping and to restaurants). He is at my house this weekend so I am cooking and spoiling him for a change. He is at the moment fixing a broken chair for me and has already set the timer on my lights that I couldn't be arsed to read the instructions on. It all feels exciting but normal. Sorry, boring I know but its all that's happening in my life!

 

[Peeky_Mink]

Just got myself into a nice hot bubble bath with a hot chocolate (made with 90% dark choc, yum) as have awful period pains today. Open up the MT and there is something exciting happening, result!

It is all a bit much on there for me at the moment.

@Sideboard Bob glad you have found some light in these times. It must feel like a little weight is lifted .

do you think she's legit? I hope she is!

I hope so. I don’t think it’s Mackie as they appear to have a sense of humour, but could just be a crank, who bleeping knows?
