Started reading: Sleepless by Annabel Abbs šŸ“š

I saw her talk about the book on Wednesday, at an event organised by the Steyning Bookshop. Iā€™m really intrigued by the subject, especially as Iā€™ve battled with insomnia myself this year.

The author Annabel Abbs stands at a podium in Steyning Methodist Church, with a laptop, speaking in a room with wooden paneling and a floral arrangement in the background.

It was a beautifully misty autumnal commute this morning.

Finally had a much-needed trim.

The beach huts on Littlehampton beach this morning turned out to be a real photographic gift, as did an unexpectedly shaped cafƩ.

Saying goodbye to Hamburg again. Great trip this year, even if BA seemed reluctant to actually fly any of us homeā€¦
