Dearest readers, Penelope Featherington went to a ball last night, did not dance once, but shared a flask of Whisky with one James Fraser and one Lord John William Grey who, according to rumours exchanged more than just one awkward glance. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown

Israel demanding that everyone condemn the Hamas attack is like a gang of people punching a man in the face over and over and then demanding that everyone condemn him for hurting their hands. The Hamas attack was the natural result of Israel's abuses upon the Palestinian people.

I did it. I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT. I finished reading a book. It’s been a while since I could. It’s still hard to focus and I still get distracted a lot but it felt so good to dive into words again and not sit in front of a screen. Baby steps. But steps.

I have long stopped doing New Year resolutions but I’ll be trying a detox January this year.
- No meat
- No sugar
- No shopping
- No TV
Instead I’ll be walking, reading, drawing and taking care of myself. I need it.

6️⃣ Niche Perfume advent calender. Today’s probe: Wolf Brothers Goat Inspiration: Scent of MOUNTAINS’ DRESSES, DREAMS and OBSESSIONS.
I discovered this in a small perfumery in Trieste. I’m obsessed. It’s wild, deep and has a pleasant darkness. I’d f* a bear if he wore this. ;)

Or thousands of roses. Rose perfumes just don’t work for me. It’s a nice one, but I can’t bear it. Gives me a rose headache.

Well, it’s really just pine, strawberry and smoke. Very comforting and warm. I get bonfire in the woods, a hug, a longing. Nice!
