"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."
A.A. Milne

Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: an amazing #Roman blue glass #fish that was cast in a mould. It was presumably used as a cover of a dish for serving a fish (about the size of a trout).

Dating 1st century AD.

Hi, #WritingCommmunity ☺️

I’m a totally #blind historical fiction author interested in Welsh mythology and medical history. My current #WIP is a mystery set in the early 18th century. When I’m not writing, I’m playing the Irish flute, baking, or trying to learn Welsh
