this is something i've been pondering recently about my own life, the days when i feel most content and satidfied are the ones when i've had to physically work to achieve something for myself, like getting the wood shed filled and ready for winter. When everything is easy and requires no effort from me, i feel kind of redundant and pointless, bring back friction and waiting, even being bored.
absolutely agree with all this. Use olive in a yurt and a shed tiny house and both need so much more effort for comfort but once the fire is on and home is warm you enjoy it so much more. I have been planting more too! Living in Portugal it gets so hot in summer that it’s easy for things to dry up! Guess similar to Perth!
Currently daydreaming/slightly obsessing over getting a dumb phone and piffing my smart one at a wall. But in the interim, gardening my way through the madness! 👌
Ordering books at the bookstore is one of my little joys! On a related note, pre-orders are super helpful for local stores, authors, and publishers in gauging the right amounts to order and print — so if you are eyeing off an upcoming release, if you order it in store rather than waiting to order it online you’re not only doing a nice thing for yourself but also for your local booksellers!
