Well, after 6,349 days, the summer school holidays in Australia are OVER. It’s been fun but also tiring. I’m so ready for routine. Stay tuned in 3 weeks when I start moaning about early mornings, lunchboxes, homework and the rigidity of routine that I need to break free from. 🤷♀️

This week’s Substack is about that time (last week) when I went on a never-ending domestic side-quest. Has this happened to you?

I’m over a decade late to the party, but I’ve started watching #Veep. Omg the dialogue 🤣👏 Saving this one up for an appropriate moment:
“That’s like trying to use a croissant as a dildo. It doesn’t do that job and it makes a fucking mess.”
