Apparently needing the constant dopamine hit of fast food, all the films, series, games, music, social media contact and shopping in the known universe doesn’t actually make you happy.
Well, who would have guessed that one!!
It turns out that our screen fried lives actually need LESS stimulation not more and that the Silicon Valley gurus are actually reducing their over stimulated fried time and ( take a deep breath now! ) trying to remember what day dreaming and just looking up actually feels like.
They call it dopamine fasting.( I call it watching the grass grow.)
Astoundingly it has now been proven that you need quiet time on your own to have Errr……. thoughts……..!
I am so glad to have lived long enough to see common sense become cutting edge fashion again.
It is sunny today and the dust is dancing in thermal columns of household indolence. I think I’ll contemplate it for a while as dusting would be to be break my fast with too much exciting activity .
How wonderful it is to see the wheel turn. Pass me another egg!

I don’t indulge in any of those except social media and that is never a problem. I like quiet time on my own either at home or on the plot.
The mention of dust reminds me of the wonderful poem Dust If You Must by Rose Milligan, which is one of my favourites. xx
