Chatting about sides to issues, The Coffee Club in Singapore and Australia, angry zebra crossings, Easter Saturday, coffee shop vibes, Goldilocks weather, standing desks, finding my old swing set, ridding ourselves of junk, retail workers on public holidays, Shambles on turning thirty, birds, and flowers.
