Dexter is so cute with his waggy tail. We got a cavapoo during height of pandemic here in U.S (2020). I was extremely reluctant because I knew I would be the one taking care of the dog. But here we are, 6 years in, and I cry at the idea that she will die sometime in the next decade. I love her to bits. I’m sorry for your and your family’s impending loss. He really does still have the cutest happy waggy tail, though.

Also, I have the same Amazon basics (although not buying from that company so much anymore) hand weights in 5, 10, and 12 pounds (8kg is about 18 pounds). I’ve been using the 10 pound mostly in my bar online strength class and just have started layering in the 12 pounds. I’m impressed you are already doing some work with 8kg! Anyway, I’m also surprisingly loving it. I started because seemingly every medical article started talking about the importance of weight training for perimenopausal and beyond women!

Ahhhh the fitflop Mary Jane’s are on my wishlist! I now wear fitflop shoes the majority of the time now, they have such a huge range, and these will be mine!! X

I've just ordered the leopard shoes! Just what I have been looking for :)

I wonder why every shoe isn't built with clever shaping in the sole, after all our feet have shaping.

Ruth, just fling a few packets of wildflower seeds at the slopes and cross your fingers. Zero effort, probably lovely results, and if not you can just put the weed membrane back down and pretend it never happened.

Hahaha!! Yes I did think of this, but I fear it needs a bit more structure and things with big roots to anchor the earth a bit...

I am very tempted by the Clarins light one as I’m very pale.

EVERYTHING on this post was useful and relevant to me! -I have the Fitflop Mary Janes in black and I love them. Now contemplating leopard …

-I need exactly that kind of floaty dress and I love Wyse

-I also struggle with gardening, everything takes so long and gets eaten by snails and then it’s winter and time to shut the door again for 6 months.

I don’t use bronzer but aside from that - the perfect post for me! Thanks!
