Mocktail Mashup - Ep. 5. Just hire the movers! On-air ant bites and walnut trees as high as sky scrapers.

In this episode we share a big life updated (spoiler: we moved) and Andrew makes Things I Said Out Loud history with his first every on-air ad. We also share a few hot takes and learnings from our move and explain why the song Yellow is booming from the speakers.

Jump to the show notes to see Andrew's office room with a view and a before/after snapshot of our kitchen.

This week’s mocktail is a virgin Mojito. (We included a recipe from Sustainable Cooks, though we didn’t have any lime, because we recorded on Labour Day and stores were closed).

If you have a fave drink, drop a suggestion or recipe in the comments.

Things we say out loud, this week

• Anthony Doerr’s About Grace (and a link to the presentation about writing we reference)

• Ann Patchett’s Commonwealth

• Coldplay’s concert list (thanks Chris Kooman for the Spotify playlist)

• Brooke Ligertwood’s Fear of God

• If you listened to the on-air ad and want to support an indie author by going paid, you can get a paid subscription to Things I Wrote Down right here (which includes access to UnveilTV and the full archive)

• Coastal Island Farms HiCamp

• Horseshoe Cottage AirBnB

• The deer and the walnut tree, the new view from Andrew’s office

  

  A deer under the walnut trees. What a view!

• How fetal cells hang out in a mother’s body - National Geographic article

A painted kitchen. We’ve got to take “final photos” but this gives a glimpse at the change to our new space. (It looks so good with all the cupboard doors!)
