One Thing Today

As I head out this morning to seeing the chickens and the visiting robin I found myself pondering on a One Thing I would like to do this week…

Look out in a couple of days for the Podcast Extra that accompanies this episode. It will be available as part of my month-long Patreon Open House.

All of my Open House posts will be available via this link: gogently.co/openhouse

One Thing Today is brought to you with the kind support of its patrons over on Patreon and for the next month I'm running an Open House to give non-patrons a taste of what I offer there.

Come and visit me on Patreon until end of November for free access to my Podcast Extras, twenty-minute works sessions, vlog post and one or two creative experiments.

It would be lovely to have your company <3

Recorded just before the clocks changed at the weekend here in Wales, in this episode I'm noticing just how ready I'm feeling to begin the hunkering process as the world around me becomes increasingly autumnal.

My One Thing for today is going to be a rest in preparation for what I'm expecting to be a few busy (for me!) days.

Are you noticing the changing season? How are you feeling about it?

Today, you find me in my kitchen preparing my morning porridge before heading out to see the chickens and the visiting robin.

Over the last two years this podcast has been made possible with the support of its patrons over on Patreon. To mark this two-year anniversary I'm holding a month-long "Open House" during which I'll be sharing most of my Patreon content publicly to give non-patrons an idea of what I offer there in return for the support I receive.

Why not come and join me for some video and audio Podcast Extras, twenty-minute Creativity Sessions, vlog posts and one or two creative experiments? It would be lovely to have your company and maybe at the end of the November you'll consider joining me full-time.

The Creativity Session that I mention in the podcast is now online and available for free here. Come and spend twenty minutes working alongside me.

It’s a bright chilly morning and you find me hanging our some washing and then going for a short walk on the other side of my gate to get a better look at the view down the valley.

I hope your day is starting well.

After two and a half months I’m recording my final Tiny Adventure podcast of the year.

As you’ll hear, this episode isn’t quite the one I had planned for you but I hope you’ll enjoy it nonetheless…

It's a very wet and dark morning and the weather is helping my thoughts turn to hibernating and working in a more analogue way…

Rather unusually, I made a very specific plan for this Tiny Adventure. Timing it almost down to the second…

I recorded this podcast almost two weeks again and have been very excited about sharing it with you, but because it was made in a different way to usual it has taken me quite a while to get it ready for you.

For a while now, I’ve been pondering the idea of making some analogue podcasts and as I explain at the beginning of this episode, that is what I have done here. Instead of recording on my phone and also using it for taking the photo to accompany the podcast, I have recorded the audio on a cassette tape and taken the photos with an instant film camera.

Come and join me for a Tiny Adventure within a Tiny Adventure as I pack my provisions and prepare to head up the hill to visit the Big Oak.

You can view all the photos that I took during the podcast below.

If you’d like to delve a little deeper, I talk more about the process and also share the podcast and photos in as an analogue way as I could think of over on Patreon in the this video (I’ve made the post public so you can watch whether you’re currently a patron or not).

I've been hoping to record you another Tiny Adventure podcast for a few days now, but haven't felt up to walking up the hill to visit the Big Oak and so, rather than keep waiting for the energy to arrive, this morning I decided to record you the podcast I felt able to rather than the one I had hope to...

Join me to say good morning to the chickens, the visiting robin, some blue tits, some brave sparrows (and a slug!).

Everything feels very alive in my garden this morning and I'm very glad I decided to record a podcast to share that with you.

I’m deciding between doing some things and not others and keeping everything as simple as possible so that I can go for a walk up to the Big Oak today

Would you like to join me for a walk there and back again?

The podcast that I mention towards the end of this episode, in which I see the still-flowering foxglove for the first time this year, was actually a Podcast Extra video that I filmed for Patreon back on 22nd May. I’ve made it publicly available and you’ve very welcome to take a look at it here if you would like to.

Right at the end of the video I say that I have just caught a glimpse of a robin. I think that must have been one of the parents of the robin chick that has been visiting me every morning for the past three months. I love that second connection with today, four months later :)
