Up! Always and forever, the Treecreeper goes up, up, upwards. Never down, hardly ever sideways, though often, in the process of going up, spiralling round and round a trunk, a branch, to the top. And then, flying quickly down to the bottom and heading upwards once again. Unusually, today, this little Treecreeper flew down to the very base of a huge Lime right in front of me and I followed it round and round the tree, until it was too high to see. What a treat!
Lucky you, though the ‘forever upward’ reminds me of a recurring nightmare.

Ah, no, you didn’t do that it is just that sometimes I have that kind of dream; the worst one is when I can’t get a room clean and the more I try to tidy the messier it becomes. It is always a relief to awaken from that one and see the order here.

Isn’t it fascinating what our brain does with our fears and worries? I rarely have nightmares but, when I do, they’re usually along the ‘can’t escape from something/somewhere’ theme.
