pick a card | comfort

Hello lovelies. Need some comfort before you rest your head? I am here to assist.

Pick a pile before you drift off to sleep, or whenever you feel called to read a message. Some shufflemancy will also be done, featuring Sleeping at Last's Atlas I album (one of my favorite albums and one I find lots of comfort in <3).

All piles are written while I listen to the songs. Piles are inspired by impressionist artwork provided by the National Gallery of Art.

Pile 1

You're on a journey, and it's almost over my love. the uphill battle will soon be calm waters, you just need to take one final leap of faith. the world is in your hands, the universe loves you, and you are loved. Your luck is changing and you'll soon be able to swim in the riches of your hard labor. Don't give up now, you're almost there <3 You don't see it now, but you are like a tree, all of your roots are below you and you are so grounded, nothing can push you down now.

Pile 5 may also resonate with this group.

Cards: Page of Bows (stoat), Nine of Stones (tradition), The Wheel, Queen of Vessels (salmon), The World

Pile 2

There is some generational trauma here, and I want you to know that you're going in the right direction to overcome it. Remember not to fall back into the cycle, but if you do, the universe has it's hand out for you to be lifted right back up. You are protected and little bird, it's okay if your wings are tired, you will rise again.

Page of Arrows (wren), The Green woman, the guardian, the seer, three of bows (fulfillment)

Pile 3

This is an instrumental song. Please breathe. Why do you feel so hurt? Your emotions ebb and flow with the tide, you may feel overpowered or overburdened by your emotions, but I want you to know that it is your strength. Like the mighty ocean, she doesn't change herself, she is powerful, all-mighty. You can look at her negatively, see her anger and how she kills, or you can look at her for how much life she holds, how beautiful she is, and the secrets she has yet to unveil. You have the ability to make any decision you desire, do not let the thoughts of others sway you so easily, like the tide. Remember your roots. Remember that you are life.

page of arrows (wren), two of bows (decision), the world tree, the mirror, eight of arrows (struggle), king of vessels (heron)

Pile 4

You may be carrying lots of responsilibites at this time, but you are at peace. Know that the weight you carry is appreciated by those you love, you aren't doing this for nothing. Remember that you are worth more than just the services you provide and remember that your loved ones don't only love you for that reason, they love you for you. They want you to rest, please rest well and easy, they will help with the load if you simply ask. You are a provider but don't forget to provide for yourself too.

King of arrows (kingfisher), eight of bows (hearthfire), the world tree, ten of bows (responsibility).

Pile 5

Ah yes, you are the embodiment of love. You are loved, so loved. I feel like you forget this sometimes, but please, let yourself be swallowed in the sea of love and care and admiration.

Okay, this is so weird and completely changes the mood but...it says that this song has lyrics when it's instrumental and funny enough... it's the lyrics to Faith by George Micheal. When I think of this song, I immediately think of the movie Sing as well so... these things might be significant to you or they may be a sign??

Also pile 1 might resonate with you as well, it's the same exact cards almost.

Six of Bows (abundance), the wheel, page o bows (stoat), tradition, queen of vessels (salmon)

Pile 6

Oh this is heavy, who hurt you pile 6 :(? ooo! I got a card I've never seen before.

You may feel like you need to continue to keep your walls up pile 6, but I want you to know that someone is going to come and sweep you off your feet pile 6. They will love you so much and they'll be so angry for you against whoever hurt you pile 6. They won't be afraid of you and who you are, they'll welcome all of your pain and love and everything you have to offer, this love is unconditional. They'll do anything to protect you and help you heal if you allow them. They'll go right into the storm of your emotions until you both can get away safely. You'll be overflowing with feelings of being loved and healed, I am happy for you pile 6.

the clock was also at 12:22 when I ended the reading, and I feel called to include a second song as well (Mercury by Sleeping at last)

two of vessels (attraction), knight of arrows (the hawk, this may be this person), nine of vessels (generosity), queen of stones (bear, this is you <;3)

I get sick of all the negative stuff on the internet, so here’s a list of animals that were endangered but have since climbed in numbers enough to no longer fall in the ‘endangered’ category thanks to conservation efforts! (I was thinking about this as its winter and we’re waiting for the whales to come in for the breeding season)

1: The Southern White Rhino (not be confused with the Northern White Rhino which, sadly, seems to be heading towards extinction) Sorry to start this list off with a bummer, but the Southern White Rhino was also near the brink of extinction, but thanks to anti-poaching measures has bounced back and is now under the “Near Threatened” category, which is just one category up from “least concern”.

2: The Panda was officially taken off the endangered species list in 2016 and is currently classified as “threatened”. This is doubly good news not just for the panda, but because many conservationists tend to be really salty about how much monetary support and effort was placed on conserving the Panda instead of other species in other places much more critical to their environments. Hopefully now some of that focus can shift to other species that also need help, even if they’re less cute.

3: Chatham petrel of New Zealand is no longer endangered and instead classified still highly as ‘nationally vulnerable’. The species was severely impacted by deforestation as well as the introduction of animals such as cats by humans. Conservation efforts have helped the species rise above the endangered category but efforts are still ongoing.

4: Arabian oryx was, technically, extinct in 1972 which was the last time a wild Oryx was seen in the wild. However, immediate efforts began to breed specimens in captivity in zoos. As a result, the species is now no longer even endangered and have well over a 1000 animals in the wild and is classified as “vulnerable”. And you have my permission to quote this fact the next time somebody tries to tell you zoos are bad.

5: The European Grey Wolf was taken off the endangered species list in 2011 despite being hunted to near extinction. It is now classified as “least concern” which is the lowest point on the conservation scale.

6: Steller sea lion was taken off the endangered species list in 2013. Originally affected by over-fishing in Alaska as well as increased predation, the species has very slowly been climbing back up in numbers. It is now classified as “near threatened”

7: The Gray whale is a weird one due to changing climate and the change in food availability, the species is classified as critically endangered in areas such as the Northern Pacific, however off of the North American shores their numbers are very high. As a result, the species as a whole is classified as “Least Concern”.

8: The Snow leopard, despite still being at great risk due to several factors, was officially taken off the Endangered species list in 2017 and is now listed as “vulnerable”. The snow leopard has numerous highly dedicated conservation groups solely focused on its species alone, making sure to help grow the species in number while also finding ways to protect and help the herding and farming communities who overlap with the cat’s habitat.

9: The Northern Brown Kiwi and the Rowi Kiwi were both taken off the endangered species list in 2017. Both are now classified as vulnerable. Kiwis were very badly affected by the introduction of cats to New Zealand, but also severely by the introduction of rats and stoats. FUN FACT!!! New Zealand has NO natural mammals on the island at all apart from bats and marine mammals. It broke off from continents before mammals had a chance to even evolve!! As a result, most roles in an eco system fulfilled by mammals were taken by birds on the island! The species of kiwi filled the role usually taken by rats and stoats, which is also why the Kiwi has whiskers. However when humans introduced rats and mice to the island, the kiwi had extremely strong competition which drastically affected its numbers. The conservation group in charge of controlling stoat populations has helped the species rise in numbers but it is still in a difficult spot conservation wise both because of these invasive species as well as loss of habitat.

10: The Virginia Northern Flying Squirrel hit endangered species levels in 1985 when only 10 species were caught in over 4 separate territories of its range. However, thanks to conservation efforts it was removed from the endangered species list and is now officially classified as “Least Concern” with thousands of individuals living across hundreds of territories. However despite this, the species is still listed as protected as it holds an important part in the food chain while also being prey to cats.

Swillington Ings near Leeds, Yorkshire, England - March 2016 by SaffyH One of my favourite reserves in the whole North of England due to it's open plan nature. There are many lakes, ponds, reedbeds and meadows. There are lots of nature trails and as you walk around you can see the wildlife and observe it from the paths. www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/s/staidans/ St Aidan's is a perfect place to get close to nature and relax, unwind or exercise in a stress-free environment. Just outside Leeds on the banks of the River Aire, it's a big new space to walk, run, cycle, or ride your horse and enjoy the wildlife that surrounds you. It has a wide range of wild plants and animals, and is home to thousands of birds, brown hares, roe deer, wild flowers and insects - all living in a stunning landscape of vast reedbeds, grassland, woodland, lakes, ponds and islands. With a variety of circular paths of varying lengths and large areas of open grassland, St Aidan’s is a great place for families to enjoy the outdoors, share a picnic and play together. Over 7.5 miles (12 km) of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes connect the surrounding communities, with links to national footpath and cycle networks. St Aidan's is a fantastic place for locals wishing to explore the wider countryside or as a destination for people who love nature. Opening times St Aidan's is an open access site. Opening times apply to the visitor centre and car park. From March-October they're open from 9.30 am to 5 pm. From September-February it's 9.30 am to 4 pm. They're closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Entrance charges Entry to the site is free but donations to help us continue our work are welcome. There is a car park charge of £2.50 per car for RSPB non-members. RSPB members and disabled badge holders park for free. Information for dog owners Dogs are allowed on the reserve as long as they are kept on a lead in the appropriate designated zones. There are some less sensitive areas within St Aidan's where dogs are allowed off the lead. Please check with staff before letting dogs off the lead. Star species Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve. Bittern Bitterns are brown, secretive herons, camouflaged to hide amongst reeds. Visit in spring to hear male bitterns 'booming' or summer to watch the parents making feeding flights. Great crested grebe Watch the amazing courtship ritual of great crested grebes on the open water in spring. You may see pairs performing their 'weed dance' when they present one another with weed and patter across the surface of the water together. Little owl You may be lucky enough to find one of these compact owls perched in a tree or on a fencepost. They become very active at dusk and you may hear their shrill calls. Marsh harrier Look for marsh harriers gliding over the reedbed with their wings held upwards in a shallow 'v'. In spring, pairs perform their breathtaking 'skydancing' displays high in the sky. Skylark Spring visits will be enriched by the beautiful song of skylarks. They rise up into the air from the grassland until they are barely visible and only their song can be heard www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/s/staidans/seasonal_highli... Seasonal highlights Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm. Spring Look out for marsh harriers displaying over the reedbeds, great crested grebes performing their elaborate courtship dances and returning swallows skimming low over the water and grasslands as they collect insects. Listen out for skylarks filling the air with their song, the deep booming of male bitterns, male snipe 'drumming' as they vibrate their tail feathers to attract females and lapwings calling as they perform their aerobatic displays. Enjoy the fusion of colour as wildflowers burst into bloom and a host of brightly-coloured butterflies and dragonflies take to the wing. Spring is also a great time to see kestrels. You can often see several hovering around the site at the same time as they hunt for voles in the grassland. Kestrels have also been seen nesting in the huge dragline. Summer Watch overhead for herons and little egrets dropping into the reeds to feed, female bitterns flying low over the reedbeds as they seek out food for their chicks or marsh harriers passing food to each other in flight. Keep an eye on the open water for lines of young ducklings paddling along behind their parents or young great crested grebes riding around on their parents' backs and admire the abundant lilypads on the lakes. Stoats, weasels and water voles are often seen at this time of year as are basking butterflies and dragonflies hawking the waters edge. Thousands of black-headed gulls set up a colony at this time of the year filling the air with their calls. Summer is the best time to spot the elusive black necked grebe as it will have its fluffy youngsters in tow. Avocets also nest at this time of year. St Aidan’s is a good place to spot this iconic bird that is the logo of the RSPB. Autumn Autumn sees the arrival of migrant birds, such as black-tailed godwits, ruffs and green sandpipers. Local birdwatchers will also spot a few rarities such as spoonbills and pectoral sandpipers. Huge flocks of lapwings arrive to spend winter with us and can be seen around pool edges and on grassland. Short-eared owls hunt over the reedbeds and our winter wildfowl begin to arrive. Look out for flashes of blue as kingfishers flit up and down the river. Winter Waders and wildfowl such as lapwings, curlews, wigeons, teals, shovelers and goldeneyes gather in big numbers, roosting and feeding across the grasslands and pools. Water rails can be spotted feeding on frozen pools, or you can listen out for their strange, pig-like squealing! The elusive bittern is also drawn out into the open at times. One of the most awesome spectacles in winter is seeing massive flocks of roosting birds panic and fly into the air as peregrines hunt over the site. Look and listen out for overwintering stonechats. Their calls sound like two pebbles being knocked together! Facilities Facilities •Visitor centre •Car park : There's a car park charge of £2.50 per car for RSPB non-members.

Public Service Broadcasting: 'we wanted to do something on a more human level'

It’s general election night in the Ebbw Vale mining institute and four Englishmen are telling the Welsh about Wales’s past. They wear ties, rather bravely, in front of pint-sinking choristers and local rockers in 1970s tour T-shirts. Above the stage, footage plays of mid-20th century miners, their eyes shining like anthracite, cigarettes dangling from their lips. “The arrogant strut of the lords of the coalface,” purrs Richard Burton through the speakers, “looking at the posh people with hostile eyes.” These miners look like rock stars, much more so than Public Service Broadcasting, who are operating the machinery tonight.

Between 2013 and 2015, Public Service Broadcasting ploughed a fertile furrow in the pop landscape with two albums sampling old public information films over guitar-slathered electronica: Boys’ Own adventures about space, Spitfires and the second world war. They return with a very different record: Every Valley. Chronicling the rise and fall of the Welsh coal industry, it was recorded in the Ebbw Vale institute, which stands in one the most deprived areas of a country predicted to swing closer to Tory tonight. Last year, people here voted heavily to leave the EU.

This record remembers when the idea of being working-class didn’t mean that you couldn’t appreciate art or poetry.

Tonight’s gig was booked long before the election was called and frontman J. Willgoose Esq (bandmates JF Abraham and Wrigglesworth have similar, Molesworthian monikers) sits in an upstairs counselling room, without a bow tie for now, looking nervous. “We’re going to take an absolute pounding, I think.”

He’s talking about Labour. Every Valley is a project born of his renewed interest in politics and a society he feels is smothering opportunity and potential in ordinary people. “That horrible phrase ‘stay in your lane’… this record rails against that and remembers the desire for bettering yourself that came from communities that coalesced around a single industry, when there was more political engagement and the idea of being working-class didn’t mean that you couldn’t appreciate art or poetry.”

Willgoose first had the idea for Every Valley before 2015’s Race For Space, wanting to get away from “big, epic subjects… and do something on a more human level”. The album’s themes aren’t just about Wales, either, he adds – its title is deliberately universal.

Despite “vague connections” to the country thanks to a half-Welsh grandmother, Willgoose has been wary with this project about being a Londoner looking in. He recorded interviews with old miners through the NUM in Pontypridd and pored over mountains of audio and film at the South Wales Miners’ Library at Swansea University. “I expected to be viewed with suspicious half-glances, constantly,” he says. “But that hasn’t happened once. Everyone’s been supportive, welcoming and open… and making the same jokes about Brexit as we do in London.” There’s a story still here, you sense, that bears retelling.

Every Valley tells this story very inclusively. Women are the subject of the moving They Gave Me a Lamp (“If you could get the women into one meeting or get involved in one thing, you could see them as this other life,” says the voice of a local woman, Margaret Donovan). You + Me is a bilingual duet with Lisa Jên Brown from 9Bach, to address “the history of English people being absolutely awful in terms of the Welsh language,” Willgoose says. James Dean Bradfield turns poet Idris Davies’s Gwalia Deserta XXXVI into the rocking Turn No More, while the Beaufort male voice choir sing Take Me Home.

The risk of romanticising the past hangs heavy on this record, but tracks such as The Pit bring things back to earth, detailing the “three feet and six inches” of working space and the 80 degree heat. So does the chorus of Progress (“I believe in progress”), the melancholic double meaning captured perfectly by Camera Obscura’s Tracyanne Campbell. Willgoose didn’t want to impose a stronger political message on the music, because “it’s much more powerful if you leave ambiguity in –if you’re too earnest it doesn’t matter how correct your message is”.

He’d prefer that the echoes of the past in this record help us think about the present, like how the destruction of the unions in the 80s has a legacy in working conditions today. After the Tory majority in 2015, and last year’s Brexit vote, this project felt even more vital. “Watching it become more relevant, as more dominoes fell… it felt important to get on with it”, he says.

Half an hour before showtime, the institute is buzzing. The NUM’s Wayne Thomas and Ron Stoate are here, who Willgoose interviewed for the album; solid men in polo shirts who survived the miners’ strike, they’re still youthful now, which propels the past to the present. Stoate thinks the record’s “really good – mining songs before this were solemn and about dust and dying in your hospital bed”. Thomas agrees. “For a young man to come in from outside and really get to know the people and piece the story together – there’s real sincerity there.”

Both men believe the people of the valleys have been hoodwinked by politicians in recent years. “The Leave vote was that bloody bus. £350m to the NHS – so many people voted for that,” Stoate rails. “And as for immigration! People going, ‘Bloody Poles coming here, taking our jobs.’ Down the mines, we worked with Poles all the time. Lithuanians, Latvians, all of them!” Wayne nods. “Locally, nationally, internationally, there’s been a smashing of that knowledge base, those memories.” Then he shrugs. “You can only hope things will get better.”

'We must take a stand': the vital election issues – picked by young British artists

Public Service Broadcasting take the stage at 8.30pm. The show is rousing and moving, grown men welling up at the National Coal Board’s 1960s recruitment campaign adverts, as well as songs about the conquering of Everest and the first orbiting of the moon – all night, you see men transported back to their childhoods, in full voice.

Seven hours later, Blaenau Gwent returns its Labour MP, Nick Smith, with 58% of the vote, and the Ukip candidate drops from second place to fourth. Willgoose spends the night at a nearby Premier Inn, in shock, with the words of a fan who grew up near Ebbw Vale still ringing in his ears. “He said the gig was a strange sensation, like having a band speak directly for him… and if we have helped people have their voices heard, in a tiny way, then that’s great.” And how does he feel about the election result? “It’s a total mess, but maybe it’s the start of a new generation finding their voice, realising they have the chance to make a difference.”

The Wind in the Willows

Forty-one named characters are shared by fifteen actors in this production of The Wind in the Willows – or, to be more precise, the four main characters are Badger (Nigel Cole), Toad (Robin Legard), Mole (Abigail Francis) and Ratty (John Mortley), leaving thirty-seven other characters to be played by eleven people. In an introduction to Alan Bennett’s script, the playwright himself goes into some detail about the staging for the inaugural production in the Olivier Theatre at the National, where the set can revolve in either direction or otherwise rise and fall, at different speeds. (Or even rise/fall and evolve simultaneously.) Such luxuries are simply not available in most other places, and Teddington Theatre Club’s Hampton Hill Theatre is no exception.

How, then, should the scenes and features of Kenneth Grahame’s popular tale be portrayed? Toad’s motor car, for instance, or the river, or Toad Hall itself? Video technology would arguably be a viable solution. But it’s back to basics for this production, where less is more, and in simplicity lies both effectiveness and ingenuity. Granted, not every movement is entirely believable. Nonetheless, I was repeatedly humoured, in a good way, by the miscellaneous methods in which this story was brought to life. One particular highlight was Albert (Dave Dadswell), a horse whose footsteps were made evident by two halves of a coconut being struck repeatedly, as though this were Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The show is wonderful escapism. Somewhat darker in places than the original book, the most dastardly villains are given short shrift in a well-planned and well-executed strategy by the four friends. This being a Christmas production, it really is very much an alternative to pantomime, devoid of prolonged evil laughs and pies in faces. A rendering of ‘Silent Night’ closes the first half, possibly the most subtle lead into the interval I’ve ever come across in a family show.

The Wind in the Willows

Mind you, I could not help but notice some fidgeting from some of the youngest members of the audience, perhaps not surprising in a moderately-paced play with plenty of sophistication in the dialogue, and a running time slightly longer than The Phantom of the Opera. The Wind in the Willows is really all about Toad, and Robin Legard in the bombastic role is delightful, even when in a strop. He reminded me of Richard Wilson’s Victor Meldrew of BBC Television’s One Foot in the Grave to the point that I was almost willing him to exclaim, “I don’t believe it!”.

It ebbs and flows, and was absorbing enough to have made me feel slightly drowsy myself whenever the animals are bedding down for the night, and considerably fresh in the hubbub of breakfast being served in the morning. There’s something for everyone here: when the ‘Wild Wooders’ grab something to eat in the middle of the night, it seemed to have more of an impact on the adults in the audience than the children, perhaps because there is much sympathy for the parents of the defenceless creature.

The costumes (Mags Wrightson) make it easy to distinguish between the different characters played by the same performers. Overall, given the challenges in staging a show of this nature, this is an impressive and appealing production.

Review by Chris Omaweng

When Toad’s latest craze lands him in prison the Weasels occupy Toad Hall and plan to turn it into a Leisure Centre… Will Toad escape to reclaim the ancestral home? Will Mole, Ratty and Badger forgive him and come to his aid? Will Albert the horse EVER cheer up?!

This timeless English classic is given a festive, musical twist in Alan Bennett’s charming adaptation. A perfect Christmas treat! Poop Poop!
