So, here's a picture of a little country church basking in today's late summer afternoon:

This little place is an outlying centre of my parish - in a tiny country town too small to even get a mail delivery - and they get the Sunday 5pm service. This is what it looked like about 15 minutes before that today, which might give you a taste of the landscape around here.
Wow, that looks wonderful.
How old is it?

There's been some sort of church meeting there since the 1860s, but that building dates to 1891, so 130 years.
It's a really lovely building, and spiritual home to a great community. I really enjoy my time up there.

I like being near the sea, but I also like having a job. Sometimes we have to make compromises.

Yeah well, what you lose on the roundabout
you gain on the swings,
would reckon.

She doesn't strike me as the type to be very concerned about the coronavirus anyways.

Today was a somewhat sobering day.
I reminded myself that I need to put more of an effort into battling my depression and OCD. With a little effort I can push the OCD away, but with depression I am pretty clueless on how to fight it. The little I do know, I don't think it's chemical based. Which is good because at least if this is the case there is a sort of logic I can do to tackle it.

Is it worth having a chat to your doctor, MehGuy?
For me, I know the basics - sleep, eating well, exercise, the right balance of being around other people - go a long way, but sometimes it takes more than that!

I haven't seen a doctor in years. I am somewhat averse to going the medication route. Back in the day I did therapy and did not find it helpful.
I have been trying to improve my diet and take multi-vitamins. I get plenty of sleep. I should do more cardio. My body and mind feel the most improved from that. Although with the pandemic I don't want to go to a gym, and where I live it's icy and cold and not a good time to go for a jog.

I meant more as in, a doctor can do a pretty thorough check up and make sure there isn't something obvious underlying it, rather than expecting a doctor's visit to end with a script, but of course it's up to you.
I agree that exercise in the pandemic has been particularly challenging. I've missed swimming.

My garden tiller is down. The choke linkage is bent and keeps dying. I ordered the part, but the company called and said it's on back order and might be a few weeks. That won't work. I'm thinking if I find a coat hanger about the same size I can make one. I know I can rig something up, but I like things to be the way they're suppose to be, lol. I need to have it tilled in the next week or so if I want a productive spring garden. Ain't nothing easy.
