SOTD was Habanita. Is it possible to be fierce and comforting at the same time? If so, this is it. Wonderful soft powderyness but no wussy shrinking violet. And some serious longevity.
Gawd, I am shattered. Work is just insanely full on atm, and I am barely keeping my head above water. I'm supposed to be writing a PhD proposal, and prepping for a promotion, and applying for a senior fellowship of my professional academy...absolutely none of which I am doing because I spend my whole day on bloody admin, firefighting student complaints and holding other people's hands through things they have done twelfty million times before.
I am teetering on the edge. I burst into tears today when a colleague told me a sweet story about her unwell son 'cos it reminded me of my mum.
And I realise all of that probably says more about me and my lack of boundaries but....argh!
Sending virtual Lemsip to you judy.
pots hope your holiday is going well despite all. Rhubarb and Citrus is a cracker.
mother that sounds like a fair-enough reason for a spending ban - hope it is helpful. Agree Blousy is an absolute shocker of a name, what were they thinking??
