Hey, Twitter. Let’s do some grounding and connect with our senses. I’ll start... Here’s a virtual walk around my garden. (thread)

5 things I can see: 1) Dave, he’s laying down in the garden, sunning. 2) My willow tree, she’s swaying in the gentle breeze. 3) A buddleia globosa, its flowers are almost in bloom. 4) Daisies and buttercups poking through the grass. 5) The sky - completely blue and expansive.

4 things I can hear: 1) The loud breathing of a French bulldog. 2) Birds talking to each other in some trees nearby. 3) A bee buzzing around the flowers. 4) The gentle breeze swaying the long grasses.

3 things I can touch: 1) Prickly grass, all uneven and bumpy. 2) Warm concrete with my feet, that’s been absorbing the sun all morning. 3) Velvetey fur of Dave - he had an outdoor wash earlier, so is super soft.

2 things I can smell: 1) Chocolate mint - it smells intense and cooling. 2) Some sun lotion - smelling it always reminds me of pools and water.

1 thing I can taste: 1) Ice-cold lemon water. A little too cold, but citrusy and refreshing.
