Dreamt I was on a TV show (like a board game version of The Traitors).
For making it to the top 5 I got access to some freebies.
I asked for a spa session. The PR lady said she knew a guy who gives massages with fridges. A great photo op!
& I told Robbie Williams that his mouth is like a tunnel 🤷♀️

Starting to introduce my kids to Disney films that I haven't watched since I was a child with a small video collection.
Yesterday we watched Sleeping Beauty.

This week I listened to the audiobook of Minnie Driver's Managing Expectations.
Highly recommend. Well told/written. Some funny stories where I laughed out loud. Loved her different voices.
This morning I started listening to Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me by Whoopi Goldberg.
