Boiler still on the blink after two weeks, so still no heating or hot water…and now the wifi has decided to join in the fun and disappear on us. Cuddled up under blankets, with hot water bottles and books. Could be worse 📚🙂

Trying to buy some pink weights for myself but nearly all the dumbbells over 3kg seem to only come in grey, blue, or black 🙁 What if I want to be strong and also have pretty things? And don’t get me started on hammers and screwdrivers…!

Just had the fire brigade round as our carbon monoxide detector went off. I only got it a couple of months ago, and thank goodness I did. All clear now, but if you haven’t already got one, please go get one now 🙏

Finally got to see this beautiful film. If you like Albert Camus, you’ll love this. And if you’ve never read his work, this is the perfect introduction. Every scene is a work of art, and the acting is esquisite.

Don’t mistake ACTIVITY for PRODUCTIVITY. Sometimes stepping away for a while is the best way to move forward. Take a walk, read a book, have a bath, give your brain time to do its magic.
