Idle thoughts 1

I’ve found that very cold or hot weather – particularly if it’s unseasonable (and there’s very little that isn’t unseasonable these days) – is useful for developing mindfulness. A sudden gust of a chill south westerly when you’re not dressed for it, or sweltering sun and no shade because all the trees are wilted; these certainly focus my mind on the here and now.

Thank you, fossil fuel companies, for doing much to help me deal with the anguish you’ve caused the world.
