Gone far too soon.

Oh damn. Catherine O'Hara died. Canadian legend. Only 71.

How I felt when I read the announcement
She was a legend - an amazing actress

She felt ageless despite the longevity of her career. It's a very sad loss.

They will see each other up there.

A fire completely engulfed the buildings at the Colchester nursery in Kilsyth, Victoria, Australia.

Just shattered for the owner.

Amazing how the fire spared the house in the background.

More than 80% of flying fox colony wiped out as January heatwaves kill thousands of bats

Only 180 bats survived intense heat in South Australian town, including 34 babies that carers say face months of recovery

www.theguardian.com

there's a ton of these near us currently saw them on a walk before the last round of heat and I'm afraid to go back that way and see whether similar happened here

I think it was contained enough by maybe a dozen fireys to prevent further spread.

It’s amazing how well people can mask stuff that is going on in their life. A workmate and friend of mine took his life the other week. He had chronic fatigue syndrome but never let on how much it was affecting him. I made contact with his closest friend so I could help heal and grieve and even she didn’t know how bad things were. She saw him the day before he passed and had no idea. We could have helped I’m sure we could have. The what ifs are going to be hard to deal with

I normally have post holiday/back to reality blues days after a holiday finishes. I'm approaching the 6th day of the holiday tomorrow, I've already crammed in a lot of solo adventure activities, I've met old Victorian friends for lunch/dinner catch ups.

I'm sitting in my new accommodation destination and as much "fun" as I've had thus far..... I still feel empty, like I haven't accomplished anything. I don't know what the solution is ? Do I holiday with others (friends or family?) in the future ?

The holiday has helped me realise that even with my work situation changing in recent weeks. I can tell what this break is doing for me. The stress levels have dropped and I feel different as a result. This (despite my woe is me sad on holiday dummy spit) is how I should be feeling all of the time. I know the saying stress less you'll live longer.... ITS TRUE.

Maybe it’s a sign that it’s time to step outside your comfort zone and head in a different direction

Life in your 50s is so much fun. Went to the hairdresser today, and found out that I have a visible bald patch on my scalp (well, visible when my hair wasn't brushed over it). I had no idea before that, because my hair sat in such a way that it was undetectable. It must have happened recently, because it wasn't mentioned the last time I went 6 or 7 weeks ago. Being female, it's a bit of a shock to the system. We're not generally hairless. Need to investigate how or if it can be treated. Alternatively I need to start investing in wigs, or preparing for life as a bald old biddy.

Embrace the bald!

Keep an eye on it in case it’s alopecia.
