Ok, so nice to have today off work (‘Bank Holiday’ in the UK), but I feel oddly behind on everything. Loads of cleaning for hosting and also DIY so the word that sums up this week is: housework. A top moment for me was a toss up between an serendipitous art exhibit visit 🚀 and our first night free from kids in 11 years.
- 🧠 Understanding: How to deal with a difficult work situation 📺 How to outwit workplace jerks.
- 🧶 Creating & cultivating: A custom bed design from scratch 🛏️.
- 📺 Consuming: BBC’s Interior Design Masterclass.
- 🔆 Connecting: Hosted an in-law family day, had a good time and roast chicken 🐓 and nice wine 🍷. The kids went boating but I visited a local gallery.
- 🏹 One thing for future self: I need to encourage my body to decompress (‘safe dorsal’) each day to help me manage the chronic fight / flight at the moment.
- 💖 Something I’m looking forward to next week: Building the bed!
Most used pen & ink combo: Majohn Capless, Private Reserve Ebony Blue.
