Oh hey.\u00a0 How are you?\u00a0 As Joey from Friends would say “How you doin’?”\u00a0 \u00a0And yes, I’m smiling as I say it.\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I love this time of year.\u00a0 I love the colours that are becoming more and more vibrant.\u00a0 I love the cooler temperatures.\u00a0 Hoodies and snuggling up in a blanket.\u00a0 \u00a0I went for a walk last night and came across chestnuts.\u00a0 \u00a0Anybody else remember collecting them?\u00a0 Chestnut fights?\u00a0 Because I do.\u00a0 \u00a0They used to be impossible to find. Now they are scattered all over the sidewalk.\u00a0 A long forgotten game.\u00a0 Kinda sad in a way.<\/p>\n

I read today that one of the latest trends to come from TikTok is “Meg Ryan Fall”<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0I saw the headline this morning and thought it was a poorly worded sentence.<\/p>\n

\"\"Turns out, it’s a thing.\u00a0 Inspired by TikTok users.\u00a0 People are using the characters Meg Ryan has portrayed in movies like When Harry Met Sally.\"\"<\/p>\n

You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle, and using the “outfits” to inspire their fall fashion choices.\u00a0 Baggy sweaters and trousers, the colours, everything.\u00a0 And “Meg Ryan Fall” goes beyond the clothes.\u00a0 There are Meg Ryan Playlists, book recommendations and recipes too!\u00a0 That’s just kinda fun.<\/p>\n

I adore Meg Ryan and loved her in all those movies.\u00a0 When Harry Met Sally might be my favourite.\u00a0 \u00a0And she did have the most adorable outfits in those movies.<\/p>\n

So I may hop on that band wagon.\u00a0 And maybe “borrow” some of her style for inspiration for myself.<\/p>\n

Netflix says that the first season of \u201cBridgerton\u201d was its most-watched TV series EVER with 82 million subscribers tuning in for at least two minutes in its first 28 days on the service.\u00a0 French series \u201cLupin: Part 1\u2033 and season one of \u201cThe Witcher,\u201d tied for second on the list, with 76 million accounts. Among movies, the action film \u201cExtraction\u201d made the top spot.\u00a0 The film about a captured CIA agent was watched by 99 million accounts in the first 28 days. \u201cBird Box,\u201d and the action-comedy \u201cSpenser Confidential\u201d were the second- and third-most popular films.<\/p>\n

I can honestly say I’ve never seen Bridgerton.\u00a0 \u00a0Well, more accurately, I didn’t make it past the first 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

What show have you never seen, but everybody else seems to love?\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I’m just counting down the days to Tiger King 2.\u00a0 (kidding.\u00a0 kinda)<\/p>\n

I’m spending most of my free time at Grey Sloan Memorial, Genoa City or with the BAU.\u00a0 \u00a0 (Criminal Minds)\u00a0 \u00a0Some shows just never go out of style.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope you’re doing alright – thanks for hanging out and thank you for listening.<\/p>\n

As always – reach out anytime –<\/p>\n
