Watching Ginny and Georgia and one of the characters said “I’ve been from Everest to Mumbai and you’re the only place that feels like home” Which is sweet, but also only about a three hour flight.

Just watched a true crime documentary that ended with the song Take My Hand by Matt Berry, from his sitcom Toast of London. A sitcom theme song is an interesting way to end a story of a woman murdered by her fiancé. You know, “when it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.”
