I love it when you're having a haircut and they use the spray bottle to moisten your fringe and it's like being a little plant.

I frequently skirt right up to the edge of burnout. I work 13-hour shifts with a big social life the rest of the week, and almost never have any actual free time.
But right now I'm in a too-hot bath with a tea called Duvet Day, a delicious flapjack, and a "caramel latte" scented candle on the go 😌

Amazing story: one of the organisers of the group putting Union Flags up around Manchester previously did time for being part of a people smuggling gang.

@littlehux.bsky.social tonight was the night I FINALLY introduced Stripelet to Vivi at bedtime. I intended to read the first two chapters. They insisted on more, and we only stopped after five because we were both about to fall asleep. Diolch yn fawr 💕

One of my favourite things to read is Ella's Substack. It's about everything and it's about nothing, sometimes it's about food and sometimes her life, and those things cross over and weave and delight. It's beautiful and it's in my inbox and it should be in yours.
