I got myself a blind winder so I could get natural light in the early mornings to help me wake up. Anyway it's been a dark halflight cloud cover in Edinburgh for about 5 days, when I get out of bed at 9am it's still as dark as 7am and I'm so close to gnawing my arm off from the mood drops 🥲

The broom carving scene has me sobbing and sobbing and sobbing I can't even tell someone why it matters so much to me without tearing up. What a brilliant work of art
