Dear Reader,
|
|
It’s been a week of sad endings and exciting
beginnings as my son leaves the relatively small and safe confines of
primary school and will soon be thrust into his much larger
secondary school and have to figure out what all this means for
him. What he will go forward with though is a) a brick phone (hooray) and b) great male role models, who
aren’t afraid to show emotion. The tears shed by the Year 6 male
teacher as he addressed his cohort of 11 year olds showed them why
vulnerability can be a superpower – no matter what sex you are. It
would be great if we could all remember that a bit more often.
|
|
Have a great week.

How To Pull
Off Leopard Print Decor
|
|
We’re owning our ‘childless cat lady’ vibes (thanks,
JD) with our pick of how to decorate with
leopard print: the key is not
too much and not too little – just enough to show your wild side, and
frighten off any uber right-wing Republicans.

Are You A
Jeffer?
|
|
Runners in the know are seriously into jeffing – and it sounds like the fitness hack most of us
could get on board with. It’s mixing in a bit of walking to your running
regime, to help minimise fatigue and injury and help build towards distance
goals. I’m all in.
