Radical Radish Relaxation #11

May 14, 2021

Anyone else wake up on a Friday excited to watch Gardeners World? It's on BBC2 at 9 pm (BST). Alternatively, you might prefer "The World's Most Scenic Railways" at the same time over on Five. Pop it in your diary, or not. Both are gentle ways to wind down, relax, and end the week. Unless like Simon you have flipped your approach to work.

This month's Random Dialogues "Stand UP & Speak For Yourself" event was on Wednesday from 7 pm to 8 pm. Cath was due to join us and talk about "Time Management". She thought we started at 8.00 pm. Next time.

Laughing aside, most of us are spinning lots of plates. As it's mental health awareness week, I hereby give you permission to take a breath, pause and say "NO" before the yes spills out into something else that overloads.

Gill Gayk joined us on Wednesday for the first "time" and spoke about the Power Of Positivity. Plus shared a wonderful goal mapping workshop that she is co-hosting with Katrina, who also wrote a great radish poem (see below).

It's good to have you all here. Welcome to John from Blue Dot Display.

Storytelling For Gaia

Yesterday, I mowed the lawn randomly to create paths and patches for longer grass to grow. Monty would be proud.

Eric joined the family about 3 years ago from the WWF. He’s an adopted penguin and has had quite a few adventures. On Saturday he came over for a burger and beer. So lovely to return to a sense of normality and some good cheer.

Please send over your events to share too.

On Sunday's show, Jason attempted to create some content.

There is a little girl who has come regularly to my Resilient Kids virtual sessions. Sometimes it's just been me and her, we both just show up, test out ideas together and chat. She likes to bake, one week we made flatbreads together.

Classes now have waiting lists, so I've invited her to be my first Resilient Kids ambassador. She'll help to facilitate the sessions. She's called Maya.

Thoughts For The Week

Some Radish Poems from Random Dialogues #18

A radish is round and red, it tastes peppery in my head, sometimes I like them on salad and I take them straight out of the vegetable bed! Katrina

I once knew a radish. His name was Ted. . He did nothing but stay in bed. A lot. Can Jane talk him up, now he's dead? Jason

​Radish or hashish, Hashish is hushish - until the radish makes its voice known. Phil

Radish bit laddish a radical radish, a dish of hot toast and made radish. faddish, radish Ian

There was a teacher called Jane, Who thought radishes were a pain, Now she writes poems to gain fame, About hashish and radish again! EU Too

Radish, Hadish, Wadish, You are a tricky vegetable to write a poem about, It makes me quite madish, And sadish, Some people are quite fadish, about radish Jane

Or a limerick...There was a lady who ate radish, it made her rather reddish. She put on some cream, to make herself gleam. But all it did was make her sadish! John
