Enjoyed a great anniversary meal with friends.
Fabulous food, & am very full!
Hideously lost the pub quiz (12/15-although we had a blast & laughed until our jaws hurt).

Sometimes all that’s needed is 🕰️ outdoors; to be, reconnect, ground yourself & remember who you are.
It’s fresh & blustery outside, but cosy in a local pub.

I have wanted a pair of knee-high suede boots for years.

Then, the happy bubble has just been popped by #Teen2 who compared them to “bloke boots from Star Wars”!

While back ago, I worked with my therapist on managing my #Hyperfocus #monotropism using summit syndrome as a backbone. Here is what it is like when I manage it poorly and well. Normally, I wouldn't share something as personal but think it's helpful.
