Not much of a selection. Was only trotting about for essentials and my energy factory was not good until I went off one of my meds (did a deep dive) which was making me constantly fatigued and constantly nauseous. What doc and everyone was putting down to long range effects of the Noro was in fact, incorrect. Nearly a week off the meds now and symptoms have vanished. I'm waiting for a return call from my doc. So here we go:

A book mailed in October by one of my brothers who loved it. It's about our clan, my mother's, the O'Sullivan Bearas of Dursey Island who were 99.9% massacred by the British in the 16th century. I love receiving a book from someone who read it and loved it and then took the trouble to mail it. Our PO went on strike here so it had a long holiday somewhere. We rode the cable car there some years ago and were incredibly moved knowing we descended from just a couple of survivors.

A handmade knitter's mug from my daughter which I will cherish. I christened it this morning. It's one of those mugs with a lovely feel. Just the right weight and a decent handle.

This wonderful cartoonist resigned after 16 years with the Washington Post when they refused to publish her latest cartoon showing Bezos (Amazon) et al kowtowing to their new god. Mickey represents the owner of the WaPo which is owned by Disney.

An earthquake alarmed many up near Lewisport here in Newfoundland. Houses shook and there were mysterious and odd loud bangs. 2.8 on the Richter. I have long believed that all this undersea drilling for oil is causing huge disturbances in the earth's crust. There are massive quantities of oil being pumped out of our surrounding ocean here.

An old favourite photo of my precious Ansa at Lance's Point. She loved all living creatures, tended to a host of barn cats on my land and joined these birds in their foraging. Animals were never afraid of her.
