Oh man. For TV characters there are a bunch. Xena, Buffy, Kira Nerys…I love strong women. And Donna Noble - strong in a different way, likeable and annoying and relatable. Dana Scully for being smart and skeptical.

For real people, I guess I think Marie Curie was pretty badass. Physicist, chemist, female scientist in a time when women were pretty much never taken seriously. Her research into radioactivity revolutionized so much of science and medicine and she did it in the face of soooo much misogyny and xenophobia. She seems like such an interesting woman.

I like Angelina Jolie, as you say she’s a humanitarian, plus she seems like she’d be fun to grab a beer with.

She’s such a class act!

I’m vibing with turquoise too! And also purples :)

Brunch or dinner?

Tough one… I’m picking hike! I love the cool quiet of the forest, especially if it’s a pine forest.

Thanks CheeseToastie - I had a cup of tea (my solution to all of life’s problems) and prep is going a bit better now.

I’m really struggling today guys. Peri brain fog is bad and I can’t concentrate or hold a train of thought. I’m retired so usually it doesn’t affect me too badly, but I do still do some consulting, and I’ve got a meeting this afternoon that I’m trying to prep for. I’m actually in tears from the frustration of just trying to focus on the few remaining tasks on my plate. Everything is overwhelming and I just feel broken today.

New shoes! Summer’s coming and I could use a new pair of Chucks.

I do own a few handbags but most days I stick with my chain wallet.

That’s not exclusively British.

Whaaat? His voice is awesome. They just sing in two very different styles.

I’m glad your meeting went well - I was just thinking I should ask how it went. Presenting can be so stressful!

Bottom left, because they’re versatile and look like they wouldn’t be terribly uncomfortable. I like top left, but I’ve already got something similar.

Good luck with your meeting!

OMG you’re inviting me over right? Because that is almost my ideal pizza!

Ah I love a light chores day :) Have fun at lunch!

Let me live vicariously - what toppings?

Aw man I bet stromboli first thing in the morning was amazing
