Yes, ANOTHER birthday lunch. This time with these lovely chicas. We went to Raíces for a peruvian feast and it was so great to meet up and catch up. The pisco sours, peruvian beer and wine flowed, as did the non-stop conversation (we may have raised the noise level a few decibels, oops). All of us are at “new chapter” stages in our lives, at different ages (obvs) and with completely different backstories. But the main thing in common, the most important thing, is that we all connect, we all “get it” and we all supportive of each other. I feel very lucky to have these feisty ladies as my friends.

Enough already. I cannot walk (in the streets) without crutches (since August 2024). And I cannot use an umbrella whilst hobbling along on crutches, for obvious reasons. Last winter (rainy af – yes, much needed but still) made me realise how much this limits me. So… hello polka dot poncho! Not quite a famous blue raincoat but let’s see if this helps.
