Been keeping a low profile, living slow.
I sleep a lot, an early riser but I get tired
so I lie on the bed. The
big spaniel lies beside me, a therapeutic dog. 
  I live with two dogs. Having dogs teaches
you to speak softly. Because they respond to tone
of voice. I have a soothing voice, no vocal fry.

When cooker is on, dogs congregate in kitchen.
They like the ambiance, and to be around their
daddy. Their food is sort of a mish-mash.
  Declutterising: I sold a glass table lamp, 
an electric radiator, an Olympus Trip. Stuff 
I put up for sale sold well. I sold a couple of
uwanted gifts still sealed, and two scrap cars.
I'm in a better position now. A tidy home is a
product of a tidy mind.  

I hope I can be happy with what I've got.
Throughout 2026 I want to stop talking gibberish,
be more uncomplicated, I want to 
put my best foot forwards and do what I should do.
Also continuing to be a good driver with no more
motor mishaps.  I hope to keep
a really low profile away from the mainstream.
I'm not good at speaking/ I can't finish a sentence.
  One of the phloggers named Matto mentioned a book
about someone who lives in a house  with thousands 
of big halls, 'Piranesi' by Suzanne Clarke. 
Intrigued, I got it as an audiobook. All good so far.
I will give it my full attention.
The quest for affordable art continues. I am more
of a curator than a creator. Forty euros
is a sweet spot. 
  Twelve euros is another sweet spot. Auspicious
numbers, they must have layers of meaning and mystery.
