I must be feeling better. Started reading again, in between not entirely impolite requests for boob juice. For our anniversary, Neil got me a subscription to The Willoughby Book Club. I do believe he wrote and told them ‘my wife enjoys books that include gin and dysfunctional families.’ Bam! Kudos to the company for sending me a book I don’t already own and for sending Isla a story book! What are you reading these days?…

26th September 2013And so, I have a new day-job. I mostly work from home. More on that later. This is my official spiel: Lorna is a wheelchair-user, who travels extensively at home and abroad. She is an American who has lived in Scotland for 20 years, so she isn’t really sure where home is, though. She is fueled by coffee and creativity and is a recent convert to bubble tea.
