Some kind of apathy hit me today — I just didn’t have the strength to record a talking video. Just sharing what I sent today.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.

This world carries darkness in abundance, shadows that stretch long and cold. Joy is the medicine that mends what breaks, the balm that soothes what aches, the light that refuses to be extinguished. Seek joy in each dawn that breaks—let it be your daily practice, your ritual.

I despair of the English cricket team.
They snatched defeat from the jaws of success with a display of batting which was schoolboy level in its approach.
As my coach used to say ‘you can’t score runs in the dressing room’.

I have loved books as Christmas presents ever since I was a small child both giving and receiving. These days bookshops as much as the books are a delight for me from small and intimate to large where I can sit with a coffee like this one. A favourite
