I too was a sickly child with high anxiety. So much of what you write chimes a deep, sounding note in my chest. And also I now need to see hand woven merkins stat
All I want is to watch the Margiela doc NOW. Plus I’m having one of those strange fantasies where I imagine being ill means you just get to snuggle up with cosseting doses of culture and cake rather than actually being horribly ill and feeling terrible.
What a treat to read all of this, which feels like a weird thing to say since it certainly was not a treat for you to be sick!! Moomin and Tove Jansson forever ❤️
ooh - what a marvellous duvet week you've had. There does have to be a plus side to being poorly. And snotty. Thanks for the heads up to the documentary, I had missed that, but was obsessed with the actual show, so shall look it up. Hope you feel better pdq.

Me too - and I wonder if the What Katy Did obsession is inevitable under those circumstances
I think it is. 100%
All this is delicious, apart from your being unwell. I hope you're feeling better this week. xx

I always found the Moomins disquieting as a child too - perhaps it's time for another try?!

Finn Family Moomintroll has always been my ultimate comfort read. Such a wonderful depiction of simple pleasures and quiet happiness
