I wish I had a photograph, from that snippet of life. Maybe I'd be eating a “fagottino” in the background, who knows.

It felt like a normal part of the day, I never thought much of it. I remember on holidays he would go to the kiosk at 6.30am, specifically to get the freshly printed editions. More often than not, he would get there before the newspapers could.

Because of course he would read both right and left wings publications. He was a very analytical man, and I guess I took after him — I'm just a bit more whimsical at times.

I guess I felt nostalgic, so I got myself two hard copies. Financial Times and The Observer. I had a sudden flashback of my grandad, sitting on the balcony, swapping between newspapers.

I'm still in the phase where I'm enjoying the last few drops of summer rain, with background Christmas jazz. I do think I'm the love of my life, and honestly? It doesn't sound as bad as they make it up to be. 🍃

Valid 😂😂

And if you are wearing panty liners, incontinence pads or menstrual pads today, be sure to change regularly when it starts to feel damp. You might find you need to do it much more frequently than usual due to all the extra sweat moisture.
