As I finish wrapping this newsletter up, last thing on a sticky Wednesday evening, England’s world cup dream has come to an end. Not without it’s heady excitement (quite literally in many senses, as I seemed to end up with headaches after the last two games), tension, cheers, tears and face paint from our household, but it is over, and as my heartbroken boyfriend said this evening (as if exiting a tumultuous relationship after a summer of romance), ‘in a way, I now feel free to go back to normal life again’. And so we go on! To normal life! Released from the shackles of back-to-back football matches each evening and returning to my favourite sport- the evening game of What Shall We Watch tennis, where nobody is a winner and we typically play on until one of us suggests Here We Go because it’s funny and ‘only half an hour an episode’ so we can also get an early night- IT’S BACK, BABY!
Anyway! Football chat aside (I’m sure you’ll hear enough of that without ol’ Sentimental Shearer chiming in over here)- I thought I’d share a handful of the good stuff that is keeping me fuelled this week (as well as a LOT of cold peppermint tea, Ribena and a posh San Pellegrino Aranciata post bedtime). A love note to the music, telly and gorgeous humans sparking joy in the busyness of every day- where noticing, taking stock and small celebrations are just as useful as a cool glass of something soft and fizzy. Please feel free to add your reasons to be cheerful below too- I get an enormous amount of happiness from the little (and large) joy of others, so the more the merrier!
