I love this - so gorgeous! Kindness, compassion and joy all the way! And the best thing is that they multiply instead of diminish, so your little act of kindness might set off a domino effect of kindness. Also - I want to go strawberry picking!!!

Thank you Steph! Exactly, you don't know what sort of ripple effect you're going to have on someone. & yes!! It's the perfect time of year for strawbs, and it's sooo therapeutic too 🍓

I just ADORE this!!! You are an absolute ray of sunshine ☀️ So happy to have found you on here. I'm so glad you also receive the kindness you put out - you deserve it so much.

In other news - tell me more about Douglas Is Cancelled! I've seen adverts and have liked the look of it but I just can't grasp the genre at all! Is it meant to be Black Mirror-esque or is it meant to be a comedy? Either way I'll probably watch it!

AWWHHH thank you Soph!!! I love whenever I get a notification from you on here!!

Ok, Douglas is Cancelled - I wouldn't say it's Black Mirror-ish because it's set in present day rather than futuristic, and it's definitely concentrating on issues that we experience in modern society. It's confusing at first because you're not sure who you can trust, pieces of the story seem to be missing, and the point of the show isn't all that clear, but as it came together I was SO invested and feeling all the emotions, but primarily a lot of anger lol

Ohhh stop it you! ☺️🫶

Ooh okay, I'm definitely going to have to watch it. I can't remember the last time I was super invested in an ITV/BBC show!
