Now researching heat pump installation and how much we can save money if combined with solar panels. With the government grant, installation cost is low and my energy bill will be next to nothing 🙀 So tempted!!

Also a photo of our free solar panels from our developer:

🌍 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are at the heart of global climate action, outlining each country’s path to reducing emissions and building resilience. As the February 2025 deadline approaches, stronger 2030 & new 2035 targets are critical to staying on track for Paris Agreement goals.

All the books I read this year!

My top 5:
1. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

2. Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo

3. Normal People by Sally Rooney

4. Dominicana by Angie Cruz

5. She and Her Cat by Makoto Shinkai

Signed up for French level 6. Because I like to make my life difficult. Loljk or is it a joke? Hahaha it's too late to to stop now 🤣

I might have signed up to this app called Masterclass so I can get one year access to writing sessions with my fave authors: Margaret Atwood, Amy Tan, Salman Rushdie etc! I always say I'm so busy these days but all I really dream of is to write a novel or a chapter book. 😄

My second children's book "Who Will Save the Trees?" has a finalised manuscript and has been sent off by my publisher to the translator (it will be in Filipino and English) & the illustrator w/ hopes of publishing by 2025! It's about forests and endangered species.

Do get my first book on Amazon 😄

I didn't know Sally Rooney was an either you hate her or love her kind of author. I started reading Normal People today and can declare I already love her writing. Such complex characters, and I love the writing with such detail I can imagine myself in the room with the characters.

Me: No more new books until we move house!

Also me: *enters Waterstones thinking I'll just have a look and ending up with 3 new books*🤡
