A bright walk, dancing to tunes on my wireless headphones (by Jabra - best thing ever!), basking in nature, breathing in the late evening freshness, leaping about a bit when no one was looking. I can’t help but dance when I walk, especially when there’s a funky tune on.





Checked our housesit’s allotment and met Syd next door who gave us some beans and told us he’d been in York 70 years. He worked in the Rowntree’s chocolate factory for 40 years and had a wealth of knowledge about all the best places to live in York. And the places to avoid. 😃

Oh yes. It truly is what you think it is. An ice-cream boat!!! And they did vegan flavours. And they took cards. Well that’s heaven on a stick right there.

Dance you say? Around the kitchen in a light-footed, joyful like manner? Leaving behind inhibitions. Gaining freedom. Getting your shine on? I’ve got just the thing. Escape with the Clouds 🎶

This guy. The Plumber Drummer has got some seriously good beats. Oh yeah I was dancing. Impossible to keep still woo! 💃
Dancing has helped my posture refine. Now I naturally lift my chest towards the sky. I stand tall. A few months ago I had a habit of tilting my neck towards the ground. Now I feel more lifted. CBD helps me connect with my muscles. For me there’s an alchemy between dance and CBD.

Welcome to a chilled out ASMR session with your host Carl the Catto. Nothing to see here except cleaning and yawning.
I am your God now. You must worship me. And feed me treats.
Um, yes Carl. Of course. May I just put the washing away first?

Let’s celebrate hair.
And dancing.
And retrowave drum and bass.
And Northern Lights by Muffler. Tune of the day. 80s dnb vibe. Moving my booty to the beats on the kitchen dancefloor. 😎

Meet Carl. He loves being outside. He has a special den area; cosy and sheltered from the rain. He’s got cushions, blankets, even a hammock to dream away his days in safety and comfort. If it wasn’t for the rustling of a treat packet, I don’t think he’d ever come inside.

I don’t wear perfume but it’s fun to smell them sometimes. There’s a lovely selection of perfume bottles in the room where I’m staying. For once I found one I liked and gave a tentative spray. Turns out it’s a room spray but I’m going with it. 🙄🙃
On the M5 in Gloucester there’s a wonderful service station aka rest stop. I look forward to stopping there because it’s an eco inspired building with a farm shop. Quite different from the usual offerings of a typical service station. It even has a grass roof and pond. 😃
