There's often a typo in my blog, and I pride myself on finding it before I hit the publish button. Sometimes it sneaks through, and my wife lets me know. This week it got past us both! After a massive cringe, I had to google 'hashed browns' to make sure they weren't even a thing.

‘New Hat’ and ‘Jaguar Skin’.

Today's joy is writing a poem to fit a theme. It is also resisting the voice that says "You don't have anything to write about that!" If you don't pick up the pen you'll never know.
