I do love seeing my stories in magazines! People's Friend Special. All about a family caravan holiday in October... that will be me next week.

Bingewatched #TheLizzieBordenStory last night from 6ish until almost 2am. Was good, interesting and oddly entertaining considering the themes. I only knew the poem but researched as I watched. Directed by The Fonz's son, Max Winkler. Worth your time. Both educational and arty. πŸ‘

Well, that went well. Tried to delete a comment from WhatsApp while chatting to a friend and managed to delete the whole chat thread (over 3 yrs worth). Now I've reconnected but unsure if it's the same person...and they've not responded. Tech huh! Grrr

Fortunately it was the same person...and we've chatted. Still lost posts though but on the plus side we can work towards creating more together 😊

Dear Insomnia, I can't do another night like that so please pack your bags and go. On the + side, I did get a lot done between 2.23 & 5.25am - and I made notes! But being realistic here, nothing can be put in place until I've got a clear head. Yours, A very sleepy me

This is what 59 looks like. Kinda happy with that to be honest 😊 Yesterday I tutored at a prestigious event, watched a partial solar eclipse, and met with some great people I've known years but never in the flesh. Today I get to chill out and decompress. πŸ“šπŸŽ‚β™₯️
