Rob Beschizza: Study: Facebook quitters report more life satisfaction, less depression and anxiety

Not too bad, although things aren’t looking great for the potted Christmas tree.
I was planning to sort this out around lunchtime, as a work break. But I ended up legging it to my daughter’s school in a hurry, to take her her water bottle before she went into class. And, as I had my coat and boots on anyway,…
Tidying in the storm's wake
20 minutes of quick tidying (and refilling the bird feeders) later:
We got off lightly, despite being in a coastal AND river location. We’re pretty luck about how sheltered we are from weather coming off the sea. (Gales blowing down off the Downs and along the Audr are a different matter entirely). In fact, much of the Quay is looking surprisingly tidy, and many of out neighhbours have been out sweeping and tidying. All very minor.
Others have not been so lucky.
Typical Medium post: “I’ve never been married, but I’ve spend 20 minutes with a search engine, and now I’m going to pretend I know the seven behaviours that will destroy your marriage”.
A letter of recommendation. Great as ever.
