Hello friend, Happy weekend. I am pleased to report that my annoying chest infection is (finally) on its way out, and now all I have to shift is a bit of a cold. I hope that you've managed to avoid the many bugs that seem to be around at the moment. I am delighted to be in your inbox today and have some gems to share, so let's get to it. 🎧 ✏️ Voice Note and Doodle Essay This week, I have a voice note (podcast) and doodle essay for you. The voice note shares a personal goal I am working on in...

Hello friend, As promised in last week's digest, today's email introduction is a little perkier than the last as I am gradually starting to shake this annoying seasonal bug.

I hope you've had a good week. Let's wave goodbye to January together and start making plans for a strong February 💪 ✨ New Ebook Resource Before we get...

Hello friend, I hope you've had a good week. I'll keep my introduction brief today as I'm at the achy stage of a seasonal bug so planning to return to a horizontal state ASAP. Thankfully, past-me pulled together everything in today's email earlier in the week, so I have some great things to share with you today. Here's your weekend digest. I propose a perkier introduction next weekend. ✏️ Doodle Essay This week's doodle essay shares a scary statistic about the length of our attention spans...

Hello friend, I hope you've had a good week and are well into the swing of 2026. My week has been heavy on domestic activity and chores. The cold, windy weather has made me even more pro-staying-in than usual. On the plus side, I have been productive in an area of my life that can sometimes get neglected. A highlight of "staying in" this week has been realising how helpful AI can be in supporting my sourdough (and other fermentation) experiments. I now have a chat set up in Google Gemini...

Hello friend, I hope your first full week of 2026 was a good one. Guernsey took quite a battering from Storm Goretti, with winds well over 100 mph. Although my home sustained some damage, everyone is safe, and it's all fixable, so I am thankful for that. While I really benefited from downtime over the festive period, I really missed writing my weekend newsletter to you, so it is good to be back. Here is this weekend's digest for you. ✏️ Doodle Essays This week, I have a doodle essay and a...

Hello friend, In my last email, I mentioned that I was taking a couple of weeks off over the festive period, so you wouldn't be receiving your usual weekend email digest from me today. Regular service resumes next weekend, I promise, but in the meantime, I wanted to pop into your inbox to wish you a Happy New Year. (As you can see, I have been experimenting with GIFs; if you don't see a moving image above, you should be able to see it on the original blog post here.) It's not too late to...

Hello friend, With the end of 2025 being so close, I'm in a reflective mood. I thought it would be fun to look back at the year through my doodles. I created 150 doodles this year. Because there are so many, I have selected my top 12 to share in today’s digest. Choosing favourites was difficult. While I am pleased with the artwork in some, most were chosen because of the message they convey. I encourage you to read the short essays that accompany each one. You might find it helpful to...

Hello friend, With just 18 days left in 2025, now is a great time to reflect on the year and think about next year. To help, this weekend's digest has an annual review flavour. I am sharing several doodles, articles, and podcasts from my archive to support your reflection and goal-setting. I hope you'll consider running some personal experiments alongside your goals next year and see how that feels (if you haven't read Tiny Experiments for inspiration yet, now would be a great time). I also...

Hello friend, I've been feeling that "end of year" energy this week. What about you? I like the emphasis on slowing down a little, reflecting, and planning rest. On the subject of rest, I'm going to take a couple of weeks off over the holiday period. This means I won't send a weekend digest email on 27 December or 3 January. I've already started planning my last two digests of the year for you, though, and I am excited to send them. Next weekend's email will have an annual review and planning...
