I originally started this post moaning about being in a kind of funk. Too many thoughts. Never a good thing.
And then I thought, no. Funk, schmunk…. it hasn’t been a bad week despite being without dishwasher till tomorrow (god, I hate washing dishes by hand)… and the dog vomiting her dinner on my white duvet cover… I’ve managed to read two books – one excellent, one so and so, I did lots of college work, tons of ironing and stumbled upon some thoughts provoking articles which I’m going to share just in case you fancy them.

(do you think white chocolate is ok? I mean… strictly speaking is not really chocolate..)
while you're ahead...
