This week I’m focussing on the small things, the little daily joys, to stop all this *gestures vaguely* becoming overwhelming:
planting stuff in the garden and checking every morning that it hasn’t been dug up by the bastard foxes
waking up to Lauren Laverne on BBC6Music playing at least one absolute banger every single morning
signing up to a free trial of Disney+ so I can watch The Mandalorian and discuss it with my nephews
adding toasted pumpkin seeds to homemade slaw for maximum deliciousness
swooning to the Normal People soundtrack on Spotify
feeling endlessly overwhelmingly grateful for technology
rewatching Schitt’s Creek for the 777th time in preparation for season 6 arriving on Netflix next week
finally feeling that I have the brain capacity to tackle Hilary Mantel’s The Mirror and the Light
learning to identify the birdsong that wakes me up at 5.30am rather than just wanting to shoot the birds
