Hello Grandy, wave to everyone,
I had heard of singing bowls (no pun intended) but I had never heard one played, so after you mentioning one I had to google them. I think stick thingy describes it very well. Running the stick thing around the rim looks like it could be a very calming, meditative thing to do. It is fascinating how the sound grows the longer it is done. The one I listened too was a small bowl which made a fairly high pitched sound, I think I would prefer one that would make a deeper sound if such things exist.
Yes I've watched the cows etc here just getting on with eating in the rain, though if it is bad I do notice they all position themselves with their rumps facing the direction the rain is coming from. I think strong wind & rain does bother them more than we realise because I've noticed if they have somewhere to shelter out of the wind & rain they can usually be found taking advantage of it. Though I suppose being bred as outdoor animals they learn to just cope like the wild animals do.
I wonder with your inhaler making you cough if it would help to use those bubble things kids use. It wouldn't hurt to ask your chemist.
It seems the weather gods around here have mislaid spring again. It has gone from the single digits/ low teens & jumped straight to the mid twenties. How is it where you are lass, are you getting any nice weather to tempt you onto your porch?
Sending you huggily 🐻 hugs
Paws
