OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

The Book Lounge celebrated their THIRTEENTH birthday today! I met an inspiring woman who loves books as much as I do at the shop and we got our birthday book loot (mine pictured above) and went for coffee to catch up afterwards. The last time I saw her was in February and the world was a completely different place then …

In the evening, I had a simple dinner with my love.

The rest of the day was too much to handle and once again I realised that I am in a really tense and vulnerable space, and I am barely coping. There are a few new year’s resolutions coming – the most important one will be: be kind to yourself and say NO!

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
