Preamble
Captain injured his leg a couple of years ago, and while it was healing he would sit with his injured leg to one side, a bit wonky like. Didi copied him and since then, that’s how they sit when they’re upright! Didi sat on my back a couple of times this week while I sorted the washing. I’m also getting lots of cuddles from Captain while it’s cold.
These things happened this week
- Had a good chat with a couple of Bond Street cafe baristas; they gave me 3 free cinnamon[Jump to footnote 1] buns to give to the folks at Codebar tonight
- As usual, Codebar was an absolute pleasure. I never regret going and highly recommend it
- Found out there’s a pilot scheme on our street for affordable solar energy. Signed the heck up to that
- Didi got lost behind some drawers. She insisted on going in there and was very grumpy on being rescued. Captain escaped out the window but got scared—they’re not allowed out the front—and immediately asked to come back in, bless him
- I love airports. I’d forgotten how chill the whole experience tends to be for me (in no small part I’m sure because I’m white and have a name that people don’t get butt hurt about). After 2 days of intense anxiety[Jump to footnote 2], on the actual day of flying I just potter about because I’ve already planned for every likely scenario. I love watching all the people chatting and meeting up and smiling (mostly)
- This week was my first time remotely working through a trip: I worked while travelling to Barcelona, then Sat/Sun chilled with an old friend, then worked while travelling home. Working tricked my brain into thinking I hadn’t actually travelled very far, so I was much less tired afterwards than I could have been
- I met up with Gabi! We had a lovely catch up. That’s all you‘re getting; you have to contact her if you’re wondering how she is 😄
- Had a lovely evening at my friend R’s place; we made fresh tagliatelle and chinwagged.
Yours,Leaf

- I’ve been experimenting with CBD gummies lately in an attempt to level-out some anxiety spikes. Still not sure if it’s helping but will stick with it Jump to source of footnote 2
