Hello, lovelies, and Happy Thursday! How is everyone doing? It's back to grey and rainy here today so I'm snuggled up in bed with some tea and my book. I expect I'll be here all afternoon.

Went to see Wildwood the other day and I'm glad I saw it in cinemas. It's special to see something done with so much care and patience in a world inundated with AI. Also nice to see a billionaire investing in art for once - the owner of Laika is the son of Nike's CEO, in case you weren't aware. May Nike stock stay up so we can get more movies like this.

Anyone thinking about Christmas presents yet? I'd like to get pre loved ones as much as possible this year. Trawling Vinted for cashmere scarves for the women on my list. I was also thinking puzzles for my friends who complain they don't spend enough time with their partners. I'll see if Vinted yields something nice or I might use a personalization service and print out pictures of them/their pets. We'll probably make a batch of kimchi soon but we'll probably distribute it well before it can count as a Christmas present. If anyone's looking for ideas, I had great success with "Where's Waldo" collections a couple years ago as well.

We're also thinking about how to schedule family visits. We're going to Vienna with friends for Christmas itself so we need to visit family before we leave.

Alright, that's all from me. Wishing everyone a fantastic day!
