It’s summer. It’s hot. Temperatures are record breaking!

Heat makes my brain feel mushy. It’s the season of gelato for lunch and two cold showers a day and constantly losing your train of thought and to be perfectly honest, I find it all rather delightful. It’s the season of less sleep and lots of work and although I’m not working half as much as I did pre-pandemic, I’m working twice as much as I did last summer. And I’m grateful.

Grateful for it all, really. Grateful for moments like this at a natural wine bar in Palermo with a friend I’ve known for over 20 years and grateful for summer and grateful for work and fun and everything in between.
