About 8 months ago, I finally asked my friend Alex a question I'd been wanting to ask for a while..."Do you fancy doing a podcast?"

I overlooked posting this on here yesterday (did on my other socials), and it's important.

To the six million: we mourn you.
To the survivors: we honour you.
To the rescuers and resisters: we thank you.
To the world: remember.

When you and your friend reward yourselves with a cheeky hot chocolate for putting together a flat-pack unit and the only injuries were a splinter, a 'pinch' and a carpet burn (don't ask)... 😁

Question for everyone: What are the things you wished you'd known as a first-time home buyer? (I'm in the UK but welcome wisdom from everywhere!)

I was yesterday years old when I first made salted caramel & pecan blondies and gluten-free lebkuchen... 🙂

In the midst of a lot of personal turmoil, I've finally started reading Let the Circle be Unbroken, sequel to Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Can we talk about how brilliant Mildred D. Taylor's writing is, and continue to shout against book bans?

I was today years old when I had pumpkin pie for the first time - courtesy of an American colleague at work! 😊🤤

I was today(ish) years old when I got my first mic for podcasting and of COURSE I got one that lights up, because my inner three-year-old really liked it.
(Twinkly light photo to come after first recording session at the weekend.)

I'm following in the footsteps of @drcweissenberg.bsky.social, so if you follow(ed) me on The Other Place I'm following you on here and then 'deleting' you over there so I can keep track.
Got to say, the views seem much nicer over here... 🙂
