Jam
As I am picking rosella to make jam I was wondering who else is also making their own jam and which fruit are they using.

@Agnes Ryckman For my breakfast events I would do like a chia panna Cota but made with Greek yoghurt, honey, chia seeds and gelatine. Which all together, top with fresh berries, delicious. I'm out of the house today, but I'll drop a couple of my recipes

Congratulations @Aoife O Donovan
Reporting in on yesterday's One Thing:
So I worked on my video on and off all day yesterday and still didn't get it done and would you believe I worked on it again today, probably another 2 hrs at least - it's taking so long. So maybe in reality I have set a task too big. Maybe I should have said I would get the footage loaded first (yesterday's one thing) and then today edit (my one thing focus) and then tomorrow upload (tomorrow's one thing focus) that's essentially 3 days of work right there. How did your Monday work day go? 🤣🤣 Ok lets go - be honest Did you stick to your Monday plans - even if you didn't do the one thing task? Did you stay focussed?

A WEEKEND PAST & A MONDAY PLAN: Choose One Thing
I've been getting stuff done by having the One Thing Approach - more on that later but first... WEEKEND: This weekend I set aside time to catch up with family while we are up in the city, that was the priority. We played cards, went on country walks on my sisters property, loved seeing Pedro & Nacho their highland pets and went to church with my Son and his girlfriend. I also managed to create a couple of colourful cloths despite the post dog bite issues with my hand and arm. (hmmm I probably should not do this but it's so hard not to create when it's a big part of my world) oh well. I did it anyway! MONDAY: It's good to start the week afresh, grateful for what has been..and have a plan for the coming week. Let's start with ONE THING TODAY Drop you weekend update and Monday plan here..... It will keep us accountable - I'll start....

@Stephanie Kara Yes, and now it's even easier with the new portal, You can just opt in and out of each exchange and if change your preferences easily before the close date. Update your focus word, tone of letter etc for the season you may be in. I'm so proud of being able to put this together and take it off google sheets.. LOL
