Dear friends,

Bit of a belated newsletter this month, with apologies!

My blog for the month is here: http://emmacharleston.blogspot.com/2024/06/june-2024.html



As you might be able to tell, I am in a bit of a funk and struggling to get out of it, and my usual cures (going out and spending money) aren't really viable right now because dog needs me and I am broke. So any tips for cheap mood-boosters for home would be much appreciated (New recipes maybe? Video game recommendations for Switch? Or anything free/cheap to do centrally?)

Music always helps, of course, and my monthly podcast is here: https://www.mixcloud.com/emma-charleston/audient-july-2024/

Another mood booster, as mentioned, would be more work, because that leads to more money. Any tips or leads for freelance gigs much appreciated at the moment. I am stopping short of a more desperate public callout YET but please do keep ears open for any opportunities that might be a good fit for me.

Hope all is well with all of you, and hoping we get more than the one or two days of sunshine we’ve had so far, I desperately need that mood boost, at least!

Grey, drizzly warmth to all of you,
