We all have mental health. It’s time to talk.
That’s Christmas over, the shortest day of the year is past and we are into 2020– where has the year gone?!
A new decade is upon us and summer is just round the corner.
However, the festive season isn’t always the easiest time of year. Everyone is so busy and frantically trying to fit so much in that it can be a bit exhausting; for many, it is an anxious, sad or poignant time of year. The winter months can also be hard: cold; short days; long dark nights.
Therefore, it is important to look after yourself…but how can we do that? Here are a few suggestions:
- Be Kind to yourself –take time out for you!
- Watch for any known triggers
- Don’t spend too long on social media – it can be a negative trigger for many…more on that next month!
Blue Monday is the third Monday in January and recognised in the northern hemisphere as allegedly the most depressing day of the year. To try to help with this, over the last few years this Monday (20th January 2020 this year) has been named `Bloomin Monday` and everyone is encouraged to wear bright cloths and brighten the day up, even just a bright tie or scarf. It is a day to raise awareness of depression and other mental health problems.
Here is how you can take part:
- Wear bright clothes
- Eat colourful cake
- Make people smile
- Talk about Mental health problems and remove the stigma
- Maybe organise your own competition for your Brightest Bloomer.
Please join us for our depression awareness campaign,
Blooming Monday, on 20th January 2020.
Wear your brightest clothes to start conversations about mental health and raise awareness of depression and seasonal affective disorder.

I’m interested in finding paintings that feature moss as the main subject. Does anyone know of a good store or shop where I can find high-quality artwork of moss in various artistic styles? It would be great to explore different interpretations of moss in paintings, whether it’s realistic, abstract, or in a more stylized form. If you have any suggestions or recommendations for places where I can purchase such artwork, I’d really appreciate it!
ReplyLive Moss Balls, also known as Marimo Moss Balls, are a type of freshwater algae that grows in spherical shapes, creating a delightful natural effect in your tank. These moss balls are loved by many because they are incredibly easy to care for and provide a low-maintenance solution to improve the aesthetics of your aquarium. Their round, soft texture offers a wonderful contrast to the sharp edges of rocks or the flowing motion of plants, creating a peaceful and balanced environment for both fish and plants alike https://www.ekomoss.com/marimo-moss-balls-aquarium-plant-live-moss-balls/ .One of the primary reasons why Live Moss Balls are a thriving addition to any aquarium is their ability to help maintain water quality. These moss balls naturally absorb excess nutrients from the water, which helps reduce algae growth and keeps your tank cleaner for longer. This makes them particularly useful in tanks that might experience an excess of nutrients, such as overfeeding or high fish stock. The moss balls absorb these nutrients and in return, they help keep your water clear and fresh.Another amazing aspect of Live Moss Balls is how they contribute to the overall health of your aquarium’s ecosystem. These little spheres can also provide a gentle environment for small fish or shrimp to explore and hide in. The soft surface allows for great hiding spots, while the balls’ rolling motion can create a fun and dynamic environment for your aquatic pets. If you have species that enjoy a more natural habitat, Live Moss Balls offer an excellent way to mimic those conditions.Even better, these moss balls can be placed anywhere in your tank. Whether on the substrate, floating near the surface, or attached to rocks or decorations, they can easily adapt to different environments. As a bonus, they don’t require any special lighting, making them suitablefor tanks with low to moderate light conditions. This versatility means you don’t need to worry about complicated care routines or adjusting your tank’s setup.
