For International Tea Day, I thought I’d try something a bit fancy than my usual Yorkshire. So I sprung for Lady Earl Grey for my morning cuppa and an Oolong for elevenses. The Oolong didn’t have quite the same oomph I’d like, so I’m going to have something else for the afternoon

Hey, Liz Kentish 💌 and Gillian Shirreffs, look what I found on AMZ.

Spent the better part of this three-day weekend organizing my stationery. 😱

On my walk yesterday… Found a #littlefreelibrary. It looks picked over. The next time I visit, I’ll have to remember to take some of my books with me.

Perhaps the most perilous consequence of uncertain times, times that hurl us into helplessness & disorientation, is that they turn human beings into opinion machines. We dope our pain & confusion with false certainties that stifle the willingness to understand. --Maria Popova

The 2 great tasks of creative life are keeping failure from breaking the spirit & keeping success from ossifying it. If you do attain success by hard work & luck, it takes courage 2 resist becoming a template of yourself that replicates whatever garnered you past claim. -Popova
