Hi friends. How are you?

I’m currently getting over a cold, which is a minor inconvenience compared to all the people I know who’ve caught Covid recently. A beautiful friend dropped off chicken soup, and I’m on the mend now. When she showed up at my door at 7:30am, I was in my new Target pjs (link below — you’ll love them!) and I remembered to say, “I appreciate you!”

We’re so lucky to have friends, aren’t we? To have a friend and to be a good friend—both are blessings in this upside-down world right now.

If it’s time for you to rest today, please take a moment to do that.

• Read a poem you love.

• Make a special drink for yourself.

• Put on some cozy socks or fun sneakers.

• Take a walk or kitchen dance to a favourite song.

I hope you take good care of you this weekend. Sending you lots of love from Sydney!

PS. The fun stuff!

• Honey Harissa Carrots on Whipped Feta — yum. Recipe here.

• How to roll bath towels. Perfect for a guest room!

• Friends with new books! Jules Van Mil with A Remarkable Woman (pre-order now!), Yvette Poshoglian with Dear Greta, Juls Rollnik with Secrets of a Superhost and Jean McCarthy with Prepare To Be Alcohol-free.

• The cutest Target pyjamas for winter. Grab them now, ladies — they always sell out. Go a size smaller than normal. So soft! Lovely fit.
