Weekend Reading, 8.3.24.

Happy weekend. It is going to be another slow one. I had a fun dinner out last night and my boyfriend gets here bright and early today. Not a whole lot planned, which is nice. A friend dropped off a very nice bottle of champagne to say thank you (I’d been letting them use my driveway while their house has been under construction), so enjoying that at some point. Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great!
