Almost finished reading My Friends by Fredrik Backman.

Happy Saturday!
Following an unplanned half day off yesterday (swap with Sunday work) and success at a butcher counter, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving today!
But first… coffee, a quick vet visit, and dog walks!

I heartily encourage you all to visit the lovely Amy Poon’s new Chinese restaurant (following in her illustrious father’s footsteps) at Somerset House - excellent food with a genuine warmth of hospitality.

London folks. Highly recommend a visit to Poons at Somerset House for the most more-ish most hospitable Chinese meal. We had such a divine time last night.

Morning! Joy of staying in a room with a kettle? Discovering Cadbury’s chocolate single mixing packets. Sneaky treat in bed, feeling like I’m about 8 years old and doing something very naughty!

Another reason to bd happy to live in France. PFAS are BAD THINGS.
The EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing “forever chemicals” as an active ingredient, dismissing concerns about health and environmental impacts raised by some scientists and activists.
Here’s what to look out for:

A beautiful piece.
On: how quoting Johnny Cash in context led to a ban; the miracle of nature; death grief and loss. And magic.

Fantastic night’s sleep.
The thing about growing up is losing the ability to sleep well. When it happens it just feels like a wave of relaxation over the body.

There are so many things to love about Paris. Wandering, talking to publishers, small printers, artists. It’s afternoons like today that feel like magic.
