Afternoon peoples and thank you for all the kind words last night again. It's self care day. I haven't even finished lunch but I'm hell bent on fitting a basque cheesecake and a cuppa in. I think that will really fix me up and get me started for a new week.

Basque is my kind of self care

I missed your post yesterday but I hope some self care brings some joy. I hope you're feeling better. Basque I had to look up. That does look like a cure for the blues! I always get a sense of warmth fill my heart reading these little empowering exchanges we do here and I thank you for being brave enough to share your darker moments, that empowers us all. Vulnerability is something to share and many times just journalling feelings can be therapy in itself I've found.

It's certainly heart-warming to know there is a community of people who care and are so generous and kind to others particularly in a world where that increasingly feels like a rarity. I do journal from time and time and find that it helps too.

Yay, I, too, picked up ingredients for a basque cheesecake.

Exciting! Doesn't sound too complicated to make but with cheesecakes it's always in the detail and nuances..hope it's a success!

Excellent so happy to hear you’re having a self care day. Restful day is a good thing, especially with the lack of sleep recently. Hope you’re feeling heaps better
