How are you all feeling? Today is our first real morning of school holidays…I am still working this week and sending out orders to people still crazy enough to do so…we have some more family catch ups in Sydney tomorrow and friends mid week before Christmas at Lucy’s on Saturday. It’s going to be a lovely week…just with the looming threat of Covid that is lurking around the corner which is not ideal. Hoping to slow down the pace a little too…maybe read some books! Hoping to get some blog posts done as well…it’s been too long between them and there’s some catching up to do now that the work pace slows a little.
Stay cool and calm, safe and well x
