Writing: the very, very start of a new children’s fantasy story about a witch and a wood (very Katecore)

Drinking: Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Brew; copious amounts of flat white coffees from our new machine

Eating: the last of the Christmas cheese – the truffle gouda which was sent as a substitute was delicious with the added bonus that I was the only one who liked it!

Planning: Austin’s 9th birthday party; Evelina’s ski trip at half term with the school; my reading for the year (more on this soon); our holidays for the year

Healing: a sore pelvic joint by resting (no dog walks for two weeks!) and anti-inflammatories from the doctor
