Hi friends — it feels a little strange popping up here again, like wandering back into a room where the lights are low and someone’s left a mug of tea waiting for you. I’ve missed this space more than I realised. Life has been doing its usual thing of getting busy around the edges, and I blinked and suddenly months had gone by without a peep from me.

But here I am, settling back in, dusting off the corners a bit, and thinking it might be nice to make this a cozy little corner again. Nothing dramatic — just a soft return. A gentle “hello” rather than a trumpet blast.

Lately I’ve been juggling the usual mix of books, tennis, and a slightly chaotic Spotify expedition (my music taste is still stuck somewhere around 1996, but I’m working on it). There’s been a lot of thinking, too — about the season winding down, about stories I want to tell, and about the small comforts of having a space that isn’t rushing me anywhere.

Over the next week or so, I’ll share a few bits: what I’m reading, what I’m watching, what I’m obsessing over (spoiler: still tennis), and maybe a memory or two that’s been lingering in my mind. Just small things. Quiet things.

If you’re still here — hi. It’s lovely to see you. If you’ve just wandered in — welcome. I hope you’ll make yourself at home.

Let’s ease back into this together.
