This week feels like the least week-like week of the year. My tiny brain hasn’t quite clicked into whatever form new year-new me takes this time, and I feel incapable of full engaging with the me that likes being elbows deep in writing. It’s been a week of walking early in the mornings and trying to resist the post-festive desire for something sweet to end every meal, breakfast especially. That said, those cannoli won’t eat themselves.
"and I’ve been troubled by realising that in a couple of months it’ll be the same time since the Brexit vote as it took The Beatles to release all their albums " - this is the kind of bizarre calculation that I trouble my mind with, especially when I should be doing calculations that actually need doing
Do you do these January courses every year? It sounds absolutely perfect for me but this year husbands annual leave is notoriously difficult and surprisingly my days off slot in nicely to your course . There’s also the question of our old dog which can’t be left by herself, do you allow 17 year old dogs on the course too? Ocht it’s so frustrating I can’t go this time ! When I saw the hotel and overnightoffer it was so up my street!! Tweed is well behaved too she would be a model pupil ! Shame.
This all looks very exciting. I'm also loving the playlist (thank you) and I'm currently reading Claire Keegan's 'Small Things Like These,' which I'm thoroughly enjoying and the kind of size book I can handle right now :)
Loving the playlist. It’s been perfect for a Sunday of reflecting and planning (yes I know was last weekend was the New Year but I’m late for everything!!)

That Burial/Fourtet track... Thanks too for the Claire Keegan puff – I've bookmarked a couple of hers for the pile!
As for your Beatles analogy of time elapsed... *shudders*
