Dehumidifiers overnight makes such a difference and m shocking how much water ends up in the little machine. I have a heated clothes dryer but the air feels better and keeping back the mould too

there should be a restaurant where you can just get broth to go for when you’re sick. like, really good broth.

Does anyone else feel the benefits of blue light blocking glasses? My own circadian really appreciates

basically, when I am home, I'm under some kind of hoodie situation, my heat pad and fluffy blankets. The cold air reaches in unless I put one blanket under the weighty one. The thermostat is set to 18c.

Want to attempt this print to work out the carvings and play around with new tools. Carved a scene from a dream I painted this wkend. Its a simple scene so easy to carve it out. i won't be going to art session this week so have to wait to use their inks or pick up my own in London

This PEANUTS comic strip was published #OTD on January 12, 1954.

Freezing so under two fluffy blankets with the weighted blanket and heat pad closer to my skin. Started a new embroidery piece and recently discovered podcasts again. Listened to various practitioners and researchers in neuroscience and neurology discuss consciousness. Nice

a cheat code to adulting is to always have something to look forward to, no matter how big or small

Could i start a lil fabric project 🤔. Need to fill my time with escapist ventures and this might be one avenue. Bet it wont finish up exactly like this one 📌 pin.it/5oWXUdzzW

Good little discovery. Sorrel tea cooled, add sparkling water. Add to new drinking tumbler. this drinking experience feels Like wine without the alcohol.

The sun, the fires and creatures alongside. There are flames for the sun and the world atm. There's a perspex frame I could use to hang this if I take out an older painting

All the hobbies today - reading, stitching, embroidery, painting, and cleaning. Nice to have the energy. Also made a smoothie with spinach and avo. struggling to think a meal thru. realised I haven't eaten anything grown in the earth for a while except for persimmons and blood oranges

The lead for my projector has arrived. I can connect my storage drive to it and watch west coast wonders trip on the big screen. I'm a bit scared to see utah and the mojave again. I felt very present so remember a lot of detail and been living off of those memories

Will I get to Norway this year? That change of scene will be amazing. Life seems overwhelming atm, it'd be nice to balance up with a positive. The Fjords are gonna be humbling to see

No context

Coco Jones on Tiny Desk. Her inspirations, her range, her band, the instrumentals the backing singers. Everything and everybody locked in. Beautiful sound. Beautiful vocals 👏🏾🧡🔥

Using social media is getting harder & more anxiety inducing to use, not just every day but every time I check in, with both international & national news. Greed of the powerful & influential is destroying us & it seems we've passed the tipping point of being able to stop it.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. George Orwell, 1984

I do not need to see video of someone being brutally murdered on my timeline! I will take everyone’s word for it I promise!

Got out for a walk this morning before beginning work. Trying to give my SCN strong cues as to the time of day. It has been confused lately so hoping to reset those bundles of cells. Nice to keep spotting cute little pied wagtails on my walk lately.

Remembering that everything is temporary. Even if it don’t feel like it. The lows are inevitable, but so are the highs. Gotta go with the ebbs and flows.

Woah existence can be overwhelming

Took my phone in for repairs and had an encounter with the shop assistant. She looked at me in the queue and chose violence. No hello just stared at me as if 'what do you want?'. Given how exhausted I was already coming into town on my day off, I chose violence back. I just want a working phone?

The anxiety I get with anything around the DWP is just wild. It’s because for a while I depended fully on their ability to function and make fair decisions for my livelihood like many people do. But sadly they often don’t function well or make fair decision (due to unfair outsourced assessments).

This is a nice Christmas gift. Currently have it in my burner. the scent is pleasant and subtle with tones of bergamot

ok Catch Me if You Can might be a good choice for something light 🤔

Missing this little fella. He likes to drink out of glasses placed around the house. Presents a problem if you're looking after him and are in the habit of leaving your personal drinks unattended.

March 2023 - Drove to Pembrokeshire and stayed in a caravan. Rabbits were on the lawn when I arrived and the beach was just 10mins walk away. One day, i took anxiety and pent up feelings to the beach. let go of it all and danced. It really helped. Didn’t care if anyone saw me dancing.

Es housemate has returned and now looking after cat Ralph. E stopped over in Korea after NZ and shes travelling back home now. She's visited the Kimchi museum as she loves Kimchi too and has picked up some for me as well 😋

Decided to make some more Sorrel drink and glaze. Didn't make any this Christmas and it's a Jamaican trad. Put some blood orange peel in with the dried sorrel leaves, ginger and all spice. The pot has boiled so will leave it to steep overnight. Tomorrow I'll have sorrel drink and make up the sauce

Gonna prepare a meal to cook in the slow cooker. I have some homemade sorrel sauce in freezer and peppers so will put these in with the pork I've defrosted. Will seal and brown meat now. I rarely eat pork but I bought it for the festive period so might as well cook it up

With it being the middle of winter, all this 'new year, new me' stuff feels unnatural for me. Winter means slowness, darkness and stillness but spring in a few months means more light, more warmth, more colour to motivate and energise the 'doing'.

It is really scary s***t that Nigeria was bombed and now the Venezuelan capture. UN definitely seems powerless and incapable at this point.

Staff at my local coffee shop know my name. Slow turnover of staff there too. Sometimes I go there with my cup for a hot beverage and chat. Whenever I've been isolating myself, sometimes a trip there to pick up a hot beverage can feel really nice. Not massive convos, just humans being kind

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says the US crossed an 'unacceptable line' following attacks on Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.

Stopped by J's yesterday and after making us cups of cbd tea, he walked me into his home studio. I had absolutely no idea he made music but he was shy about performing in front of me. He does it mainly for his own expression rather than share with the world. I really understand that.

Sparkling water 😛

Reached home. Set up my teapot, had a shower and have put on the projector. What "can I watch 🤔

Taxi driver likes Destiny's Child

Full supermoon and Jupiter in the sky tonight 😍

Eating good sushi

Finishing up Es garland. My last night here and I'm all packed and ready to go. House is clean. No rush. Cat has been fed and medicated. I'm gonna eat, finish the garland then get myself home.

Gonna go for a walk to get some coffee. I also need to get back to Es house and wrap things up here like strip and wash my bedding and run the hoover etc. Still in bed and it's early afternoon already

My art out there in the wild. I love this feeling gifting loved ones something I've made. Have more ideas for gifts in 2026. Its been suggested many times to sell my art. Just wonder if that will make me not like it anymore. Not everything has to be a business hustle, sometimes it's just nice to do.

Slightly paying for going out last night. I think it was the conversations with strangers. I wasn't expecting to meet and talk to the couple new to Bristol sitting on the next table. Meeting new ppl can be heavy on the already depleted energy reserves
