Final essay to write for this year and still the muse evades me.
Still, there’s tea and biscuits, and these to look at in the garden when I’m procrastinating 😆

Well.
I didn’t get my essay written. I’ll have to do it on Sunday when I get home.
I did enjoy being home again for a short time though ❤️
Freelancers need time off too 😁

Trying to start a 2k word essay for my OU course, and looking at my last one to see how I can improve.
Ever looked at an essay and not remembered writing it thinking‘How the hell did I sound that intelligent?’ 🤣
Now, if only I could get this actually written by tomorrow night all will be well 😬

So, back home with the post holiday horrendous cold.
(Scotland -5C ➡️ Florence 16C ➡️ Paris 6C ➡️ Scotland 3Cish)
And all I can think abt is Tuscan bread, how burrata and mortadella are cheap af, and how the wine is good but cheap.
Back to work tomorrow but I have a feeling I will bake bread soon

Aaaah back home with a weekend to get back to normal. Florence was glorious (we didn’t want to leave and are missing it soooo much!).
We had a day’s stopover at Disney on the way home. (Well we still had 2 flights to get home so why not do Disney at Christmas?)
Fun of a different kind ❤️

When you choose a hotel that’s opposite the Medici palace and this far away from the Duomo, you know it’s going to be a good holiday😁

Aaah the perfect way to finish the week.
Reading a bit about 1800s cartomania while drinking rose tea out of a teacup that’s a work of art.
Then I might get out one of my photo albums and do a bit of research. May as well use one of my obsessions to fuel my studies

Why does packing for a holiday take longer than the actual blimmin holiday?
I think I now have clothes that won’t embarrass me in Italy. But which book to take?

Working on a lovely ferries book before hollibobs.
But having to travel 120 miles (and the same back) for a hair appt has its drawbacks. We’ve had to cancel after bad weather … being woken up at 2am with mega hail hitting the roof hasn’t helped.
Our hairstylist is the best and we’re gutted 😞

Because it’s not Friday yet, here’s a mysterious photo from my collection. Possibly 1930s (I have ephemera with it from Singapore, Hawaii and Cuba)
Yea, they’re wearing flour sacks and one has a dubious beard
