Happy Monday!

• Today is Nephew 2’s birthday, how quickly did that chubby, happy baby get to 10? The answer is very quickly!!

• This week has felt very busy, I’ve been busy at work and adjusting to the new routine with Mum. I just need to get into harness and just used to the new routine but so far so good.

• Last week was the first week of Autumn and boy did the weather suddenly become British again. It has rained quite a bit and it’s getting darker in the morning. I am not happy but I have set up the light lamp…

• There seems to have been an uptick in the amount of scam texts and WhatsApps I’ve received this week. It’s annoying and I’m guessing it’s something to do with back to work/school after summer.  I just block them, but I have the sense that everyone is feeling quite fragile and vulnerable right now and this does not help!

• Because it’s gotten all autumnal, I’ve made a batch of elderberry syrup and fire cider. This winter more than ever, I cannot be sick and I’m going to be very busy so on the basis that ‘every little helps’ time for some witchy remedies. Although actually elderberry syrup has some actual science behind it in helping get over lurgies, I take apple cider vinegar every day anyway so adding some other stuff to it for if I get lurgyfied is probably a good idea.

• I’m going to Paris. Not immediately, but Christelle and I have been talking about it and there was a deal and so we’re going for a day in November. Yay!
