Hello dear Musers
Five things that caught my eye this week.
For the writers
Matthew Reilly has a heap of reels on his Instagram with great advice for writers from how he writes
A Room of (his) One’s Own
Homemade chocolate sauce with Mum’s handwriting
There’s something wonderful about handwritten recipes and how it brings the person who wrote them into the kitchen with you.
A heartfilling book launch
Tony Birch’s latest book, Pictures of You, was launched this week at Readings, Carlton and it was like being invited to a family celebration.
Orchids
My orchids continue to bloom and this week, this one with its delicate markings has popped.
What caught your eye this week?
Until next time
