@thevitalspark01 @AWhisperofTrees We are all worried at the moment or either fools, so don‰Ûªt beat yourself up for worrying. And, as a country goes into to self-isolation, you can at least pride yourself at already having a thriving online community around you that will do what they can.

@AWhisperofTrees @thevitalspark01 I was already in tidying up and closing down the shop mode in life this year, but this season of terror has only poured more piddle in the pot. However, there is a lot of love and life to focus on and a lot of chocolate biscuits still to be eaten.

The ‰Û÷curse of the shrieking spear‰Ûª may be one of the oldest known in England. Known first from its counter-spell written down in the 9th century, but it is still a favourite among some witches of my acquaintance. – Emily banting, 1981 #WitchWednesday

I split people into two broad camps. Those of the woods and those of the fields. I am for wandering among trees. Give me their tangle of sprites over the hungry furrows. – #CLNolan https://t.co/W0Vi0tQeJd
