    This is the Zen thread
    Are you lot doing anagrams?
    If not, I've lost the plot :/

    Lost the plot? You’re not alone B3. Likewise I have been increasingly baffled by the Curmudgeonly thread and I simply do not comprehend the zest with which people exchange pleasantries on the Forkers and the Resurrected threads.

    Sorry B3! Just needed a distraction  :)  Back to Zen and not a thought for BT

    I have a garden and I can have anything I like in it ( within reason I suppose )

    A thread for every mood, @Picidae. There's even one or two on gardening!

    Opening the shutters every morning to see what kind of day it is
    The woodland walks I do every morning with my dogs
    The thrill of seeing things I planted grow and flourish
    Watching the birds in the garden and especially when I put a name to a song or face
    That knackered but really satisfying feeling after clearing another bit of my overgrown wilderness or finishing digging a new bed
    In winter - good chocolate + sofa + cuddly dogs + roaring  log burner + glass of wine topped up by attentive OH because I can’t get off the sofa due to being hemmed in by said cuddly dogs.

    I've just spent the last 2 hours topping and tailing gooseberries while plugged into an audio book. Now I'm admiring the literal fruits of my labour while enjoying a small whisky. Proper productive downtime.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    [As a small aside, yes, 'Chop, Murder, Rut' is an anagram of 'Rupert Murdoch'].
