She has several combining peanut and chocolate. My favourite is peanut butter snicker muffins. Yes light on the chocolate but still 😋

Where do you sell them? We might unearth my box of chalet schools school books soon after our hire house renovation. If they survived I want to sell them.

Somewhere I have a large box of chalet school books. They were just republishing them when I was a child so most of them are 1960s second hand versions.

I'm using it as a log of the books I read. I haven't gone further than that so can't answer your question

One of my children had a voice activated one. The notebook inside was tiny and most of the time they forgot the phrase they'd used for the password. But it was still fun.

I recently "lost" most of my weekends and evenings for over a week, helping with my kids' dance show. It was exhausting, and I didn't achieve much, except for being part of something that is important to them. I'll be back there next year.

Fortunately my daughter doesn't have her next GCSE until Wednesday so it will feel like a gentle welcome back for her

A story that has stayed with me since we read the book at school.

Beautiful view. I love the Bath sky line

Alchemy of Souls OST - YouTube

I haven't watched that series yet (on my list). I'm particularly enjoying some songs from Alchemy of Souls OST. I get tingles when they start, definitely partly related to how much I loved that series.

I'm here, but mostly just read

I have a playlist of Korean and Chinese soundtrack songs. It keeps growing...

I've read three of them, but they didn't change my life. It was decades ago, so maybe I was too young ... 🤔

None of them are useful as they are all dark! There is a website called something like what's the view. See if that helps. Although it was steep, it didn't worry me as good space and handrail

I'm sure I've been on the top level before, lay me see if I've got a photo.

Beautiful. Love the Abbey, love magnolias.

I've added it to my list. Thank you for the recommendation

Love it. I went to university there and got married in the Assembly Rooms. We recently returned with our children after about 10 year gap. We really must go back more often.

I read pride and prejudice as a teen and regularly reread it as well as Persuasion. And if I'm in the mood Mansfield Park.

What’s one way you’ll care for yourself today? Today, I’m committed to finishing my work on time!  Recently, I've realised that I'm not good at finishing things and it turns out that includes finishing work. So this is an improvement area I've set myself.

Share one thing you're proud of about yourself.
I'm proud of my persistance when it comes to building habits. I don't find it easy to build new ones, but I keep coming back to them to try again.

What motivates you to work towards your goals? I'm looking for inspiration. I didn't have goals last year so sort of drifted through last year. I'm keen to have a bigger impact this year.

Sounds like you've got a flexible system that works for you. I'm still working on that. I didn't draw my grid for this week early enough so I haven't written lists and felt lost all week.

WEEKEND PROMPT - What helps you feel clear and focused?

My journals are writing journals and I've been using Leuchtturm over the part few years. I've started a planner this year which I'm drawing myself in a travellers notebook style book.

How do you deal with feeling overwhelmed? I've been back at work long enough the holiday calm has gone, plus the full timetable of lifts for children's activities has started. I rely on brainstorm lists.
