Still thriving tbh

Thriving tbh

Who enjoys last minute travel panic stories? Just went to unlock my suitcase so I could put some tea in and the code I thought it was DIDN'T WORK. 10 minutes later, with the help of the Internet, I've cracked it. Case unlocked, tea in,code written down. I now have no faith in suitcase locks.

Just had my heating serviced and the 'engineer' looked, genuinely, about 14. Anyway he was polite and fixed something and it only made me feel 1,000,000 years old.

I HATE PACKING. That is all.

I'm going to South Africa for two weeks on Tuesday. Kind of excited, kind of shitting it. This time in a week I'll (hopefully) have just done a dive with sharks in the open ocean.

T'was a 3 film weekend everyone, what a treat. Babygirl - 2/5. Disregard of consent and heaps of coercion that made me ick. Nosferatu - 4/5. Cinematography is beautiful. I struggle with anything period tho. Mulholland Drive - 5/5. Fucking hell. 'What the fuck' was spot on to keep me hooked.

You're a comedy queer. (Aka very funny and valid ❤️)

Also hello again. Been lifing for a bit. Still can't take a decent photo at a gig.

Met some cute beebs yesterday in Clissold Park. 10/10 would beeb again.

I am midway through a team strategy off-site week. Pretty sure this is the first circle of hell. I enjoy my job and am fond of my colleagues but my brain simply cannot cope with this much big picturing in a short space of time.

As a counterpoint to all of my previous posts: had a jacket spud with salt, pepper and butter for lunch. Nature is healing.

I am so outrageously swayed by truffle on a menu. I have tunnel vision as soon as it's mentioned. It's a real problem, and this post makes me sound like a right cunt.

Fancy food day yesterday. 1. Vegan vanilla danish (Snooze Cafe, Farringdon) 2. Lovely pinot noir (Kill the Cat, Spitalfields) Then went to Tendril for their festive brunch menu 3. Grilled mushrooms, white bean dip, sourdough 4. Tahini cauliflower

Leanest month for gigs this year was September, with just one (VLURE at Colours).

Using said spreadsheet I can also say that I've seen 84 performances this year. An average of 1 every 4 days. It includes festivals though,where the numbers fly up. 25 in 5 days at Glastonbury, for example. I spent most time at the Other Stage (5/25). Data is fun.

I would like to congratulate the band I've seen most this year, topping the tables with 5. Enjoyable Listens. They are pretty good. How do I know they're top of the table? I have a spreadsheet of course.
