I have so much I need to do, I am paralysed by it. My brain is not working, and I feel overwhelmed. The people I would usually speak to have their own stuff going on/are busy - but tbh I am too frozen/can’t/don’t want to speak about it, anyway. Not unusual for me, but I wish I wasn’t like this.

Friday ☀️

I have had such a lovely day. I hope yours was too. Night 💭

Last day of watching people talking into balls, eating tangfastic for breakfast and watching Eddie the Eagle do a high dive - wearing gold lame trunks - alongside Tom Daly. …and 99s

Mood 🎶 I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line The Struts: Could Have Been Me (2014)

I think there is something wrong with me… I have told a charming Italian lawyer/drummer (lui è preso di me) - with a holiday house on Lake Garda - that I will not do long distance. In truth, I think he came on too strong for me, and I don’t trust it. I was right to trust my gut, right? 😅

Should I be spending the weekend doing the aforementioned ‘things’? Yes However… Do I *need* to see a waterfall/fairy pool? Yes Have I just booked accommodation in the mountains? Yes Have I hiked before? No Do I know what I am doing? Also no Is rain forecasted? Yes It’ll be fine…

After ninja levels of avoidance, procrastination and doing anything but, today I *must* do the things. So *focus*. Also me…

Friday

Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream, she said 🎶 The Cure: Just like Heaven (1987)

Road trip Paris, Venice, Lake Garda & Milan. Planes, ferries, boats, trains, metros, buses and taxis. Tents, hotels, apartments. Friends, art, music, dancing, flowers, galleries, beaches, rivers, spas, swimming, reading, cocktails, history, walking, fireworks, skinny dipping, sunsets, sunrise…

I *love* this album 🎶

Coming home last night 🛬

Milan, I am in you 🇮🇹 Aren’t you something ✨

I now have a date with a boat, some wine and the sunset. Have a good one. Cin cin 🥂 xx

Monday ☀️

Looking for my future ex-husband…

In 36 degree temperatures and with a smile on her face, Ness only went and did it - raising money for the incredible ChemoHero charity along the way. If you are able to, please consider donating: chemohero.enthuse.com/pf/ness-diep...

Today, I got to do a thing. A lifelong dream fulfilled. It was so beautiful that I cried.

Goodnight, Bluesky 💭

Can't think, can't sleep, can't breathe Can't think, can't... 🎶 The Chemical Brothers: Go (2015)

Goodnight 💭 Rosalia: La Perla

None of it matters btw, so just do it 🩷

Hope I can accept the wild thing* in me Hope nobody comes to tame her And she can be free *ᶜᵘʳʳᵉⁿᵗˡʸ ˡʸⁱⁿᵍ ᵒⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵒᶠᵃ, ᵇᵗʷ Wolf Alice: The Sofa (2025)

It's always darkest before the dawn 🎶 Florence + The Machine: Shake It Out (2011)

Please would someone confirm they can see the moon 🌙 It’s not where I usually see it, and I am concerned. *not concerned enough to sit up, but still…

I love this video (and song), so much. I am kinda just going through the motions a bit, at the moment. However there are so many days in my life I have felt like this. Please enjoy ☀️ Xavier Rudd: Stoney Creek (2022)

Current view. Lying in meadow grass, listening to music, in the sun ☀️

Thursday ☀️

Off out for a bit culture. Last year me thought this was exactly what I would want to do today. Today me is tired. Still… “To be or not to be”

Five shows to get to know me: Fleabag Vikings (S1-4) Game of Thrones Killing Eve The West Wing

Wednesday ☔️ *airport bound

You know when people, who are aboard say that they are ready to go home now? Yeah? Well, that’s defo not me ✨

Tuesday ❤️

Walked up Mount Vesuvius.

This morning, I headed out for a bit wander - with no plans - and then found myself on Capri. *went on the chair lift at Anacapri Monte Solaro, and it was amazing ❤️

Saturday ☀️

Soooo… I apparently mostly look like I look, but there is something about me that has people expecting something different, regarding my height. This has me curious - how tall do you think I am?

When in Rome… *ᴵ ᵃᵐ ⁿᵒᵗ ⁱⁿ ᴿᵒᵐᵉ, ᵇᵘᵗ ᴵ ᵃᵐ ⁱⁿ ᴵᵗᵃˡʸ…

Sooo… I was met at Napoli airport by my transfer, which included *two* drivers. They did not speak one word to each other for about 30 mins, until Me: Vesuvius? 😍☺️ D2: SÌ.. Me: Wow 🤩 D1: *pointing left* Pompei D2: *pointing into distance* Capri And just like that… 1/4

Soooo pi (π)… If you round it, is it’s just 3? Or, does the infinite bit do something that changes the rules, regarding the number following the decimal point? *I guess I should find out what pi even *is* first, but I need to know this now - and think understanding pi will take some time.

You in another decade *far right, approx 1995.

Sun, blue sky, the sea, music, food and friends. Saturday ✨

Friday.

For reasons unknown, I’ve been asked to deliver a guest lecture at one of the top 5 unis in the UK today. I should’ve, but haven’t written notes or rehearsed. I’m not a responsible enough adult for any of this. *you’ll be relieved to know mirrors/ electricity/WiFi/ atoms don’t feature ✨

Timeline cleanse ❤️

For those that celebrate ☀️
