I do things often and will occasionally talk about them here in vaguely specific terms.
My boss has been warned of last minute leave in December. Lucky them. They get at least 1 weeks notice.
It's the moment you've all been waiting for...here is our streaming schedule for the first week of Jingle Jam 2025!

You know the drill - mark your calendars, submit your jingle cats, and get ready to tune in and donate to some brilliant causes! We can't wait!

The unbelievable joy to have a femme tailored suit jacket with an inside pocket.

I thought we would never get here.

Another good read is ‘Marigold Mind Laundry’ by Junguen Yun. Quite similar vibes to Before the Coffee Gets Cold and a really heartwarming read.

Although based in fantasy, there are some recognisable characters and offers the readers with burdens from their past validation and comfort.

Ya’ll I have been through it recently with the mental health fight.

But coming out the other side and remembering what it means to be happy and relaxed.

Even remembered the joy to be found in the artistry of the sky.

Spending too long staring at paved concrete and forgot to look up.

In June, I read ‘The Cat Who Saved Books’ by Sosuke Natsukawa and I loved the fun way this book expresses the joy of reading.

Not just reading, the joy of owning and keeping books too. Plus there is a sassy cat, and we love those.

I would recommend if you love books with a cosy soul.

Finished the fourth book in the ‘Before the Coffee Gets Cold’ series, ‘Before We Say Goodbye’ by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

I thought this would be impossible to finish given a recent family loss, but the book really helped some of the hardest part of moving on, forgiveness.

Over the weekend, I finished ‘Eighteen’ by Alice Loxton.

This was such a delightful pick ‘n’ mix of UK history, shaped in a refreshing way.

Each chapter leads you into a different time and life. A really interesting read with lots of potential for further research.

Woke up with a really important question.

Will Cooking Mama be on Switch 2?

I loved that series on Nintendo DS.

Just finished ‘Before Your Memory Fades’ by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

Another brilliant read with heartfelt stories. This series has definitely influenced how I have seen some recent difficult times and I am grateful for these characters and their lives.

Highly recommend!

Just finished Tales from the Cafe by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (again through tears).

I am loving this series and very grateful to have excellent libraries from which I can borrow these gemstones of books.

Another warm address to difficult and complex topics. Highly recommended!

I want to hear the maggots’ side of the story.

How did they get there?

How do they survive?

Are they vibin’?

Aurora at Wembley tonight, pure joy.

A gig of love, beauty and maggots.

A beautiful night sky after a wonderful sunny day.

Rest easy and take care of yourself.

Just finished reading (through tears) ‘Before the Coffee Gets Cold’ by Toshikazu Kawaguci.

This book is a blessing and spectacularly written. A very simple concept drawn with incredible depth.
I loved reading this and would highly recommend.

This is one for my bookshelf post library.

Read The Great Gatsby as an Easter bank holiday treat.

I wasn’t fortunate to study it when I was younger, but having the freedom to just enjoy reading it is perfect.

Very charming and easy enough to read both superficially and otherwise. Gorgeous description and recognisable characters.

After a 13 week waiting list, I finally read Intermezzo by Sally Rooney.

A mature read which poses many questions along the way, making it demand some serious time from your mental schedule.

I really enjoyed my time with this book and I would recommend it for an adult book club.

There are people born after the GameCube that are buying houses, starting families, making their lives their own.

I’m still just trying to get a GameCube.

Own your lifetime pathway, I guess.

Just finished reading The Whalebone Theatre by Joanna Quinn.

An impactful story of childhood and wartime, telling the story familiar to many who have visited the large estates of England.

I felt some parts were drawn out but really enjoyed the fullness of character and depth of feeling.

Who else saw the glowing orb of the moon last night? So bright! Had me dancing on a moon shadow 💃🏽

Here’s a few of the pics I took last night on my usual stargazing walk with my phone.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Gorgeous colours in the sunset tonight.

Although the sky was 80% cloud, the vivd pinks and oranges were gorgeous on the horizon.

Just finished reading Harriet Constable’s debut book ‘The Instrumentalist’.

This is a powerful piece which shows how the form of power imbalance has changed, but the substance of its existence has not.

Highly recommend this if you love historical fiction, music or art in general.

Last night at Runefest, someone got 120 Necromancy and then their max cape at the LAN party.

Pretty neat. Very cool.

Watched the sunset knowing this is one of the final days for many years we will have Mercury, Venus, Mars, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter in the sky at the same time.

As you can see, it was too bright to get Mercury and Neptune, but Venus is stealthily visible. Just.
