I’m sure it’s just a funny coincidence that the week we brought home a puppy, our neighbours put their house up for sale. πŸ˜†

I wasn’t prepared to see the cast of Slow Horses look so fancy and well dressed.

I know it’s a fictional series, but the England they inhabit feels so real that it’s a bit like seeing your teacher outside of school. πŸ˜†


My brain when I’m busy: “I’d love if work slowed down a bit then I could try some of the ideas I have.” My brain when work slows down: “Oh crap. This is it. This is the end. My career is over. Everyone hates me.”

In case you need a supper plan this weekend, these sheet pan quesadillas work great for our family of 5 with some leftovers for the next day’s lunch for the first couple people to grab them.


Happy international day where rich nerds complain about how long it takes to order an iPhone while sitting on their couch using an iPhone.
