I went sober 13 months ago after 30+ years, so it's strengthening to hear about your own experience with it. Thank you for sharing.

Another superb Vibemail — these really do brighten my somewhat bleak life.

I hadn’t got in touch about this before in case it wasn’t appropriate, but I too heard the Colin interview and thought it was beautiful in its general vibe of openness, emotional intelligence and compassion. Well done. Both my dad and step dad were/are alcoholics and a very dear friend drank himself to death a couple of years ago so I wasn’t sure if I’d want to listen, but I was so glad I did. All power to you, John.

Lastly, since the first lockdown I’ve been feeding a family of foxes. The vixen appeared heavily pregnant and seriously ill with mange early in 2020. I managed to cure her using a treatment a local charity gave me to feed her, and have since been visited by three years’ worth of subsequent cubs.

Yesterday I found a whole, raw chicken egg buried in a plant pot. There’s a neighbour who keeps hens and they are safely cooped up at night, but I’m guessing she’d found an undiscovered egg in their garden and buried it; they do this, apparently. Finding it was honestly magical.

UPDATE!: magpies watch squirrels hide nuts and then dig them up and steal them! Have just seen this happen!

Great vibemail as per but needed a few more updates JR… current handicap, deadlift/bench/squat PB’s etc. As a left handed golfer/cross-fatter myself I’ve started project Beat Robins. Your content could not be anymore in my wheelhouse. Love it. Looking forward to Howl. Take care, all the best.

Those Delinquent Blackbirds were probably winter visitors from Northern Europe. They will have got on their Scandinavian equivalent of a Vespa back to their homeland by now.
