Good morning, Peeps! I am shattered, today. I was very busy, yesterday, doing a lot of physical moving stuff about (Which I will reveal next week!) But at least it is the holidays!

Time for a lovely cuppa and a catch up!

If we were having chai, I would probably sigh and tell you I think I am burnt out. This week I couldn’t get myself out of bed early enough to do anything with my manuscript. And even though I was awake, m brain wasn’t ready to compute new words, and stories, so I ended up reading plenty, instead, and napping, when I was free.

If we were having chai, I would mention that I had a couple of appointments, with Lil Princess, for threading and henna, as we had a wedding to attend. One of my dear colleagues, someone who is like a little sister to me, was getting married and not only were we going to the reception, but she invited me to her civil ceremony and asked me to make a short speech too! It was manic, but a beautiful day and I am so happy for her.
If we were having chai, I would say that Straight As a Jalebi went with us to the wedding, too, as my friend had a fresh jalebi stand there, so I joked with her about bringing the book to do some promo videos, and she told me to 100% do it! Well, here you are!

If we were having chai, I’d jump back to my week, and say that I am trying to be philosophical about everything, and even though I wrote minimal words this week, I have a plan, and that is just as important.
If we were having chai, I’d share that I was moving furniture around the house, all day on Sunday, s well as building bits, too, so I had. a great soak in the bath after I finished. When I checked my Fitbit I had climbed 83 flights of stairs!!! No one can say I was lazy this Sunday! And, as I mentioned above, I will tel you what I was up to, next week!
If we were having chai, I would bring it back to Sonu Singh. He’s a good kitty, sensing when I am a bit down. We just chilled and he had a great scritch with me, before laying down and going to sleep.

I fear it may be another one of those weeks… I am up early today to take my Mother -in-law to an appointment, and I have a trial YouTube interview in the evening. I have to be taxi Mum for Lil Man on Tuesday, and I am also hoping my best friend will be coming over, too. Then, on Friday, I am hoping to meet with some friends, if they are free, as I taxi mum Lil Man around for his social life! Words? Maybe. I hope so!
