reading is a good medicine...

There is absolutely nothing better than taking your tired and scrambled thoughts on a holiday...
Reading offers all the luxury that money simply cannot buy... https://t.co/EN089JhscH

at holiday time...

PASSING THOUGHT:
At holiday time,
I seem to seek a splinter or two of Emily Dickenson...
quite content to drift from thought to feeling...
I see worlds through the eyes of other travellers...
I explore random ideas...
I feel little compulsion to join crowds...

I've survived...

Can't believe I've survived a term of remote learning+made it to school holidays! Yay! Celebrated with delivered meal+glass of wine tonight. The relief! But grateful to have had work at least, no matter how tiring. Tomorrow's another day- school planning+rest+planning+rest etc...

Seldom do I check wine history. The bottle I opened tonight is a Pinot Grigio, from Devil's Corner, Tasmania. Connection 1- Didn't realise this was Tassie wine. (Tas.=my soul place) 2. Didn't realise this winery's connected with Brown Brothers (my fav wines). It's a good night.❤️ pic.twitter.com/jfHfQFF5ds
