Today’s newsletter is free for everyone and a little shorter than usual. We moved this week, so things are a little topsy-turvy. I’ll be back to a normal schedule (and life 🫠🫠🫠) soon…I hope. Next week, Downtime is featuring a new cookbook that’s perfect for avid home cooks, plus a recipe excerpt from it as a special treat for paid subscribers. Have a great weekend! -Alisha P.S. If you went to a Downtime book club with other readers and had a good time and/or took a pic, please send it my way, I’d love to see. :) A few fun things on my radar this week...

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT — PREVIOUSLY ON DOWNTIME Thanks to everyone who read Good Material by Dolly Alderton with us for book club for last month. You can see our fun subscriber chat about the book here. (I’m realizing now that I should’ve made the chat into a discussion thread and post instead. I’ll do better next time - sorry for anyone who missed the chat in realtime!) We are skipping March but will be back in April with a spring book club pick, and hopefully more irl meetups. :) Have a great weekend, all. x This was a free preview of Downtime. Consider upgrading to a paid subscription to show your support and get every letter! FREE ways to show your appreciation…
