Right, so let’s write this down:

Things I’m Afraid Of &/Or Anxious About

Bridges
Traffic Lights
Heights – more specifically when there are kids around
Air Travel
Various Elements of Space
Ghosts (I rather like that post)

And after yesterday? Nothing new to think of?

Oh, nothing…

Nothing apart from the fear of having the very living earth drop away from underneath me at any moment.

I know sinkholes are nothing new – my aunt used to live in Florida and I’ve heard many a tale, but Jesus.

That’s a big one.
