@Kitty-Cat01 We will be passing through it for a while yet. Its just hits its peak right now. But its a nice dense one so should still be good for the next week 👍 the moon just after new moon here too, so means it’ll be nice and dark in the sky. ---

Last night started well here, clear sky, loads of stars visible and I saw two shooting stars around 11.30 pm before the cloud swept in. It did clear again for a while and I saw a few more , one of them was quite big! But by 1.30 am the cloud was a thick blanket so that put paid to any more viewing. ---

I’ve not been on much recently but for those of you struggling with stress and anxiety (@Alyssa646 @PleasureDrone), ‘coherent breathing’, also called ‘resonant breathing’ might be something to try. Basically this is a paced breathing technique. You breathe in and out for 5-6 seconds each: slowly breathe in for 5-6 seconds, then slowly breathe out for the same length of time. That’s all there is to it. You can time your breathing with an app (“The Breathing App” is free on the App Store, a metronome or a soundtrack - there are even a couple on Spotify (look for the album Respire-1 by Coherence). Here’s a video tutorial ([Try Coherent Breathing with Dr Richard Brown & Patricia Gerbarg MD! – Guided Resonant Breathing - YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0XRPOmojZdQ)), also links to [theory](https://www.bmedreport.com/archives/7303) and [research](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31071704/) [here](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31978852/). There are lots of other useful meditation and breathing apps, too - here’s a list: [The 5 Best Meditation & Breathing Apps To Reduce Anxiety - The Good Trade](https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/best-meditation-apps)) (Formatting errors fixed) ---

Just channel-hopping and landed on “Take-off with Bradley and Holly” on BBC1. There’s a repeated design on the walls of the set that, to me, looks overtly sexual! Lots of open “mouths”. Go see for y’selves! 🤣 ---

I would definitely take something! It would help you unwind, and being that these team things tend to happen to promote wellbeing and boost morale, one could argue that you’re going above and beyond by taking extras 😉 ---

I find having a play can help me unwind so go for it. You have a room to yourself so take advantage of it! Take whatever you want - other people will just be jealous if they hear anything 🤣. There’s nothing inappropriate about it 😊 ---

YES - and you really mustn’t worry about the vibrator thing. Vibe toys never make as much noise as we think they do. None of mine are anything like as loud as my electric razor, for example. If you use a vibe toy under a duvet no-one’s going to hear a thing through a closed bathroom door. If you’re still wortied about it, put the radio/TV on. ---

I’m a little behind with Only Connect. Just watched last week’s with Victoria in the red dress and glasses. Hubba bubba. Weak needed Mira at her in that dress.
