Today I gave myself the gift of “no thank-you!”
My friend and mum of three messaged yesterday to ask if I could help move furniture, lift their carpet and dump it into the skip as they are getting laminate out down.
Reschedule my day, ask my son to come help and we turn up bright and early as …

Erm … same babes!
I try not to be a high-maintenance person but the fact that I require different mugs for my coffee, tea, ice cream and milk reveals my true self. Also, spoons have to be of a certain depth or they are no spoons to me.

USA: Time between thanksgiving dinner and and Xmas dinner - three weeks!

I cannot - truly cannot - make another Thanksgiving-style menu in 3 weeks. These holidays are too close together.
Sister and I have done NJ/Italian in years past; we've also done San Antonio-style chili + tamales.
What non-turkey/stuffing/mashed potatoes meals have you made + loved for Christmas?

We are in need of pretty colours and sparkling lights …
So we took an hour this afternoon to put up the tree and lift our moods!
If it’s too soon for you - don’t put yours up! This is just for us and our family - you do it when it suits you.

Today is World AIDS Day.
We will never ever forget those who were taken so brutally, with love and hope in our hearts for an AIDS-free future.

It’s half seven and I SHOULD head into my store cupboard with my coffee and sort out my dry goods!
BUT
Sitting here with my book for an hour before booting up the computer seems like a much better idea!
So - here I sits!!!

Talk to me about Substack!
Got a new project and debating the utility of private Blog v app based circulation.
Thing is, first 5 notes on my feed are racist AF and that just isn’t me!
What’s you pros and cons - and more importantly what’s your own experience?
