What's on your mind right now?

In a local shop they used to have a life-size cardboard photo of a community constable. I never saw the actual chap so I wondered if they were just faking it. Eventually the photo disappeared too.

I wonder where it went

I expect somebody nicked it.

It's a fair cop

No I think he had dark hair.

I wonder what percentage of the worlds population has a clown phobia

I wonder what percentage of the worlds population have ever injured themselves doing The Conga

Not that many years ago I learned about how the Boston Tree Lighting Party they have around Christmas each year uses a tree donated from Nova Scotia, my home province, as a way of showing thank you after people from Boston donated things like blankets and medicine to the survivors of the Halifax Explosion.

The explosion was a horrible disaster 1973 that left at least 1,782 people dead and thousands of more people injured. And it happened close to the holidays. But things they actually NEEDED were donated from Boston. I'll bet if something like that happened now, heaven forbid, all the USA would send us is thoughts and prayers. And that would be absolutely sickening.

But it will be interesting to see what happens this December when a tree from Nova Scotia is normally selected to be imported to Boston, if we're still alive by then. Will it still be donated due to the historical events, or will we refuse due to the orange dictator? Does anyone in Boston even know that the tree is sent from Nova Scotia, and why? Is Boston in a blue state, at least?

It's flipping still out there tonight
There's absolutely no movement in them trees whatsoever

Scorchio all week according to the BBC forecast and 20c next saturday.

Oh brill I can get out a couple of days

Maybe even three

I wonder why sleep feels so good

I don't know but I'm looking forward to getting my head down later.

Yeah that's what I mean
I love sleeping but I can't remember it because I'm out like a light until I wake up

I was wondering if my brain gets flooded with endorphins or something that makes me crave sleep

It's even better if I dream all night long but I very rarely do that anymore

During sleep, the brain produces Serotonin, a neurotransmitter that can regulate mood and emotions, amongst other aspects of a persons mental and physiological health.

It is the same neurotransmitter that typically anti-depressants synthetically have an effect on (SSRI's or SNRI's) and the like.

So yeah, sleeping is typically good for a persons mental health and can be rewarding for a lot of people.

You probably do dream, but can't remember it. I gather you have to wake up pretty soon after a dream or you'll forget it.

I've always liked dreams. Don't know why. They're totally useless and bonkers, but there's something intriguing about them.
