I always said winter was my favourite time of year and I hated summer, but I've noticed winter is by far my least productive season work-wise. Now the weather is picking up again and, surprise surprise, my work ethic has returned ๐
I still hate the heatwaves though.
Oops, sorta forgot about social media again for a second. Hi everyone ๐
Thank you!!
I know it's been said before, but it's weird how the writing/bookish community has felt fractured ever since the twitter fiasco. I scroll and barely see anyone ๐ญ
Thanks, and you!
Me, wearing glasses and a colourful collared checked shirt
Morning everyone! Proof of life, it's been a while since I showed my face ๐ ๐
Pink primroses in a planter
Spring is happening! The primroses are planted! Everything feels fresh! ๐ฅบ
A couple of days ago I heard my first wren of the year! Now I'm lying here just before sunrise, listening to the first tentative dawn chorus. The birds are back.
It was an awful winter really, with a few personal tragedies. I'm happy spring is coming but sad for those who aren't here to see it. ๐งก
Thank you!!
Woo! Thank you! ๐ฅฐ
It was my boo's 30th last week ๐ฅน
I am once again here to tell you she's started a very fun and very Aesthetic(tm) gothic bookstagram with a cute ghost, and I'd love if you followed it ๐ซถ

What are Sundays for if not sipping coffee, listening to Morrowind music, and planning a lego build? ๐ฅน
A weather app that says 'sunny intervals' at 10c
*blinks, rubs eyes*
A sunny day?! It's been so long I can barely even remember what it looks like ๐ฅน
I swear it's rained almost every day since New Year's ๐
๐
The UK has apparently had rain somewhere for every single day of 2026 so far ๐
So if you feel a little down, it might be these constant grey days? It certainly doesn't help, I've found ๐
Nah, I gave in ๐คฃ but it's so nearly done now so hopefully today!
I wish I could say my legs hurt this morning because of exercise, but no, it's because I was pacing around an almost-complete jigsaw puzzle until 1am like a general peering at a map in the final days of the war ๐
Oh yeah, definitely ๐ ๐
The brave version of me is cruising around in a vespa ๐
but it's hard to persuade the rational part of my brain that it's a good idea, especially considering the size of some cars* on the road.
*effectively miniature tanks ๐
That makes sense ๐ are you in the States? I've seen some things saying the max speed here (UK) is 15mph and you have to do some paperwork to get a throttle version as opposed to a solely pedal-powered one ๐ญ
I'm considering getting one of those ones too ๐ ๐
That's so good! I'm considering it for similar reasons ๐ do you find it an easier ride than a normal bike, or is it difficult to compare?
Do any of you have an ebike? If so, what do you think of it? Was it worth it?
Today was one of the best for a long time ๐ฅฐ
Just all around lovely! And! I got to see a little egret ๐
Thank you ๐
I fear I've genuinely forgotten how to write a book ๐

I always feel much fresher and neater after a trim ๐ฅฐ
Thank you! ๐ฅฐ

For breakfast on the first day of my 30s?
Crisps and chocolate. ๐คฃ
