I heard a rumour there are nuptials taking place somewhere in the country today, but as I no longer watch television (DVDs only these days) I’m happy to say that I will be missing the show. I remember watching Charles & Diana marry, and I also watched Diana’s confessional interview with Martin Bashir, and that feels like more than enough royal shenanigans for one lifetime. And I know that may sound a bit bah humbug, but as I’m only just starting to feel human again, I want to spend the day quietly, doing some writing, maybe taking a walk in the park, and then making something healthy for dinner and retiring to bed with a book. I’ve been trying to filter out the noise of the outside world so i can better hear the messages my body is sending me — this illness has had a lot to teach me, and I want to pay attention as I know more work-storms are on their way, and while it’s great to be so enthused and committed to the work I do, i’m also realising I can’t work if my body collapses on me. Turns out i’m not a robot – who knew?

Happy Friday, whatever you’re doing today x
