A quiet week.

Told my partner what it actually costs. That conversation was overdue by about four months.

What this has displaced in the budget: the car being fixed, and a holiday. I have decided that is the right trade for now and I reserve the right to change my mind.

Price went up mid-year and I had a very unglamorous evening with a calculator and a cup of tea.

Pausing for two months. Not a failure, not a moral event, just a month where the money is not there.

Windy again.

The bit about the two hours before is exactly it. I have never seen anyone put it that way.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

Do you want to come to the Thursday circle? You would not have to say anything.

That is a real thing and it is not trivial. Do not let anyone tell you it is only hair.
