OK so is it weird that I now really want to know what it feels like to take a nap in a coffin? Because that is indeed what I would like to do.

"I often find that I’m trying, perhaps too hard, to be liked by Crows." 😄 I do hope they appreciate the effort you're putting in.

Corvid. Corvine. Two of the best words in the English language. OK, so actually Latin. Corvus. Let's settle with Corvus being one of the best words ever.

Magdalena -- what a perfect name.

"I liked the idea of being placed directly into the earth, like a seed" -- this has now triggered a whole series of weird ideas for stories in my mind. People buried vertically in the ground as human seeds. I guess that's my Sunday evening now... thinking about this concept.

PS thank you for arriving in my inbox at precisely the right moment when I'd just finished some work. I'm so terribly sorry for being all over the place this year. I'm here. Love to you both.

PPS obviously the post was stunning and a delight to read. (This goes without saying, but I'm saying it. 😊)

Magdalena the magpie, how divine 🖤. Love the wicker coffin. My mother wanted a cardboard one and for people to decorate it before she died, like decorating a plaster cast on a broken limb 😊. Circumstances prevented it unfortunately. I certainly would have painted a chook, magpie and seagull …. And a cat 🐈🙏😂.
