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.

She went with her grandparents instead. And I had plans. Those plans included writing and drinking…
I used to know the difference between jealousy and envy, but I’ve lost track of which one is less painful. The one that doesn’t eat you up. The one you wouldn’t wish on anyone. In an alternate universe, I got married to Neil wearing a purple dress. Me, not him. It was catered by my Nana, but she also had the best time. My Grandma was there, too.
