Today’s post was going to be about my ultimate stress-busters. A numbered list with keywords and phrases like What The Hell is Hygge? or Just Find Me, Google, Damn it! A (somewhat universal, but still rather personal) list that would garner such comments as: ‘Great post!’ b. ‘Your so funny!’ iii. ‘Can I have tea instead?’ f. ‘My cousin’s brother’s wife can pop wheelies in their wheelchair. And I just find it so inspiring. Can you pop wheelies? Are you…
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you it’s like October here today, but the sun’s trying to come out. Neil and Isla have gone to the shops, and I’m here on coffee and ready to share. Settle in. We went to a pop-up market in town this week and spent too much on mojito fudge that didn’t actually have mojito in it, I was disappointed. This is an actual mojito fudge recipe.

If we were having coffee I’d say, are you ready for this? I’ve been up for hours and I don’t know what time it is, and I haven’t had my coffee yet. Isla already cracked some eggs, put her wellies on, and now wants to fly a kite. That’s fine. I love my experimental, outdoorsy, artistic child. But lemme say something here. Coffee before kites. I have a coffee now. Hi. I feel better now. How are you? If we…
