    So in today’s DT impulse purchases news it’s day 3? Of sleeping on the new memory foam pillow suggested by @wscholermann and although I’m no connoisseur of memory foam pillows (I used to hate them) I’m sold - much better neck and shoulder position, lovely feeling of softness and support - I fell asleep much faster. The real test however is trying it out back at my place with no central heating and fancy mattress. I’ll find out next Friday.

    I also ordered a goddamn acupressure mat and pillow with the last of my gift card, inspired by @calhoon2005 and a serendipitous discussion of Shakti mats the very next day with the massage therapist. I didn’t know it was a bit of a fad item but it seems legit - figure it’s far cheaper than regular massages. The items should be here by Wednesday, fingers crossed - I really want to see if it helps with my morning headaches and pre sleep muscle tension.

        I just did some half arsed gardening after a very long time (pruning a small row of salvia with small secateurs because that’s all I could access, digging up a small garden bed for annuals, fertilising) and I wish that mat was here right now!
