Last week, I joined a course for small business owners to work on our ability to actually sell our products (a surprisingly difficult thing!). Although I have a service-based business that perhaps doesn’t lend itself well to Christmas presents, one of my colleagues in the course makes these beautiful notebooks. Could be a great gift for someone difficult to buy for on your list. And, purchasing from a small business makes the owner do a significant happy dance, so you’re really gifting two people a lovely Christmas.

Hello from sunny Falmouth! I’ve spent the last week wandering about the south-western most tip of England and just today the sun has finally come out in full force. I’ll have lots of content coming about being in England – check out our off season day at the arcade in Brighton if you haven’t already.

Phew finally Wednesday! (Or, phew, Wednesday already if that’s how you’re feeling).

It’s nearly Canadian Thanksgiving, and this weekend is a ten kilometer run I’ve been training for, so lots of reasons to eat good food. This whole roasted cauliflower is calling my name and (since clearly I’m on a cauliflower kick) this cheese curry pie was delicious this week.
