Blimey, if being such a beautiful poet is considered a flaw, how much more beautiful must the products of your virtues be?
Thank you for being so quick to point out my flaws?
Sport plays havoc with the scheduling of many of my favourite programs, I get really fed up and angry. The BBC are the worst for this, I've written to complain twice and they dont' see it as a valid complaint and won't take it any further. The Great God Sport, must overturn everything else and bugger the licence fee payers who don't like sport. I'm getting hot under the collar just thinking about it.
Given that:
A peasant is a pre-industrial agricultural laborer or a farmer with limited land-ownership, especially one living in the Middle Ages under feudalism and paying rent, tax, fees, or services to a landlord. In Europe, three classes of peasants existed: non-free slaves, semi-free serfs, and free tenants
I was somewhat surprised going on’ shocked by the following second line ~ and laughing my bits off by way of the third and fourth:

Thankyou so very much Uhane, I have not laughed in ages ~ what epic L drop wordplay and the epic poetry had the beauty given by the sound of a stepped waterfall in a peaceful woodland somewhere away from the bother of it all.

appreciating, just for no reason, just as a default
the sound of a brook or creek
the sound of rocks gently clicking in shore-break
drift wood
tiny shells with holes in them
watching crabs dig and scurry
sunny water
white clouds racing the wind.
bobbing on my back in the ocean
people watching
being left alone to listen and appreciate quietly at the marvels al around me
the fact that I could go on and on with a list of things that make me happy!
I have happy thoughts about my travels, past and future. Asia and Australia along with many European cities. Berlin was a favourite, as was Provence, France.
I also think back regularly to my clubbing days, the time in my life when I felt most at ease with the world. Maybe it was the drugs (MDMA has been cited by recent studies in reducing social anxiety in autistics), maybe it was the music, or maybe it was the general carefree nineties.
I cannot wait for 5th July for the same reason.
About the tv programs, I have a mental countdown calendar for when they are supposed to be on. Lockdown messed with the schedule a bit, but they all air annually without fail now.

Oh great! What are your favourite characters by the way?
My horse, although he’s often the reason for the stress in the first place (I tried to post a picture but it wouldn’t upload?)! My neighbours cats and my gecko are also really helpful. Non-animal wise, I like to think about my favourite character(s), (although one of them is a dragon so I guess that counts as ‘animal related’?). Visualising or practicing my sport also helps. To stop myself being sick I’ve also got a specific visual of a field of poppies (the flower) that I always go back to in my head, I guess that also counts as a way to stop feeling stressed/overwhelmed?
