How was your week?

The view from here was so, so full. Rory McIlroy’s Master’s win seems ages away, and yet it was less than a week ago that he donned that famous green jacket for the first time. I spent most of Wednesday thinking it was Thursday. I got blindsided by some secretive colleagues which didn’t feel great. Despite my best efforts, I’m woefully behind on texts and buried in emails. And wearing low heels apparently hurts my knees now. Whew!

But I am about to shut the laptop for the day, and I will be seeing Pride and Prejudice in the theatre tomorrow(!!), so all will be right as rain soon enough.

The news doesn’t seem to stop feeling achingly heavy, so that’s still a reality that plays beneath our to-do lists. And yet there’s still so much good to cling to. It may feel like this is the most dramatic rose ceremony ever, and yet the world has always had bad actors and harsh realities.

This weekend, I’m looking forward to getting some natural vitamin D, sewing…
