I definitely prefer to stay inside - very much a home body! It would be easy to berate myself for being "lazy" but it just so happens all my interests (reading, writing, crafting, drawing) tend to be sedate activities so it is what it is 🤷‍♀️ Embrace the slow indoor life! #AMoRoR

I found an old draft of The Ruptured Sky circa 2009. ... anyone fancy a (self) roast? 👀

Oh man, I have not had enough sleep to tackle editing today. Sentence? What's a sentence?
