And then we danced

Temperature: It’s been a whopping ten degrees warmer than the average temp for the season. Some migratory birds have stayed put. We had a rose in bloom. We’re gardening. In January. R i i i g h t.

Eating: a Mediterranean-style vegetable soup

Drinking: something bottled by Gwynt y Ddraig later tonight, but only after I learn how to pronounce it.

Watching: Do yourself a favor and go see Jojo Rabbit. You’ll laugh at the cowardice and grandstanding of the Nazis, and cheer at the courage and resilience of ordinary women, men and children.

Listening: and dancing to the sambas de enredo for 2020. Carnaval! Tá chengando!!

Reading: The Value of Everything: Making and Taking in the Global Economy by Mariana Mazzucato.

Writing: updating my resume, actually.

Thinking: “Here’s to putting an end to ignorance and replacing it with love.” (Taika Waititi)

Feeling: If life gives you lemons, swap them for limes, make a caipirinha, drink it ice-cold, open the window, yell Ha!, then draw a warm bath and soak yourself to a prune.
