Hawaii CALLing 🌴🥥🏄‍♂️


Hello friends,

I'm taking a break from basking in sunshine to drop you a quick line about Beverley Five-0 and your presence and presents....

You kind, generous souls have asked about birthday presents.

Any one who has helped (or watched) me move house knows that I have A LOT of stuff, and I let the entire Marie Kondo thing pass me by (cos, I might need each and every one of those 56 squillion plastic takeaway lids with no bottoms, you know).

With that in mind, I'd love if, instead of feeding my mania for stuff, you would make a donation 💰💰💰 of:

Food glorious food - Chipping Barnet foodbank

A healthy start - For Baby's Sake - a charity preventing domestic violence blighting young lives.

Your presence is, of course, all the presents I wish for xxx

Music

If you can think of anything you'd like to throw shapes to on the Sonos playlist, do hit reply and let me know. All levels of cheese most welcome.

See you next week Reader,

B:-)

How about clearing your mind ?

WW - Quick Tips Sometimes it feels like I’m glued to my computer, do you ever feel like that? The “to-do” list is never ending, leaving me feeling bogged down and drained. Those are days when I’m comedically far from reaching my 10,000 steps. I mean, in different universes, because I'm so welded to the list. What if you gave yourself a strategic and refreshing demi-break? This week for your Wednesday Wellness, why don’t you try pausing for a few minutes (it might be your lunch break, it might...

Wednesday Wellness - Quick Tip My inherited tortoise is no good at hugs. When I’m holding home-grown cabbage, I’m flavour of the month and practically chased around the garden. But standing on my foot to get to the food, does not a hug make. What if you had a boost in your arms all along? This week, consider the power of your hugs and how to use that power for good. If you can, why not try a daily hugging habit and see if it enhances closeness and maybe even intimacy (where appropriate) with...
