Wow, we have just had our first heat wave since moving to San Francisco and it was intense. It hit 40 degrees (104 F) in one day and it was all I could do to lie on the sofa with the fan directly on me and an icy compress on my forehead. 

Finding inspiration for any project, be it interior design, writing or planning something; it can sometimes feel like trying to push against a brick wall.

I have been sitting on a sofa I hate for 5 years. From the first few days of sitting on it after it was delivered I began to grumble about it and I didn’t stop until we moved out a week ago.

This question has sparked so many different conversations and debates ever since we all ‘stayed home’ for COVID and tested the boundaries of what we could all achieve away from the office.

It’s been 5 days since we packed up a few suitcases and moved across the Atlantic to San Francisco. I feel in a strange sort of limbo.
