🎧First song i heard by🎵 Holly was🎶 "Down Swinging" 🎶and knew she was something special. She has a new album coming out April, which I'm going to reorder. For now, as ive sacked off Spotify, found this bargain on Ebay.
She's something special 👸

New Book Haul
Have spent 2025 reading library books. Mostly on a no spend as we were having some hardships. Got a new job today, so treated myself to some new books as a well done for spending 8h a day job hunting since I got made redundant.
2026 hopefully will be more hopeful and happy

Things already aggravating me about the job market:
🟩Lazy employers using AI
🟩Employers thinking skills you developed in the past arent relevant if you havent done them in the past year
🟩job profiles that dont give you the pay
🟩employers listing basic standards as "benefits"

As a neurodivergent person, I have began to read classic books with an eye to see how characters might be labelled in 2026 language... just for giggles.

Like Frankenstein: commitment phobic red flag who meets another red flag blowing his inheritance cruising in the arctic for ego boost

📚📖 slow reading: Wuthering Heights for the first time. I pre-ordered the soundtrack to the new film yonks ago, have little to no intention of seeing the film as I have the attention span which doesnt like sitting for that amount of time..but feel like I should have read it by now. You know? #booksky

Things ive also done. Cancelled Spotify, deleted tiktok, fucked off the news cycle. Taken time to live life like the 90s, but with a bit of tech as adhd won't allow me to simply not know something benign at 3am. Evaluated whats actually important. Sat in front of a fire for hours. Chilled. 💚😍

📚📖Just re-read The Will Of Many by James Islington, in preparation for the sequel. Got made redundant this week after 6y of being at my place, so I needed some cheering up. Forgot how much I enjoyed it. Then I saw we he accept my friend thingy on goodness and we are friends #booksky #jamesislington

Love this album. I may be wrong but there's parts slightly different to Spotify album version. Ive cancelled my sub as I just cant agree with their stance on some things and investments. So I'm going oldskool analog. Just got 2nd hand 90s port.hifi off ebay. CDs and Tapes ahoyyyyy

2 chapters to go.. I found myself throughout this book wondering if Nietzsche may have been ND. His health issues and when they transpired/responded to his world were intriguing. With a 2025 lens, whilst his brain was interesting, as a person I found him awkward and child like.#nietzsche

🥪🥖🍞🥐Bread Week🥐🍞🥖🥪

Smashing with some baked camembert and jalapeños.

Added rosemary infused salt and maple syrup not sugar to feed the yeast. Turned out nice.

I think many people enjoyed Lux. I just say, I dont understand most of the languages, but it made me feel. Which is exactly what I love. Incredible album, and one I have ordered for the old vinyl collection.

📚📖 Library Fail #2 📖📚

The Gulag Of Archipelago

For this one, I am in fact blaming the Library and how they named it on the system. I now have book 2 and 3, but no book 1 appeals available. The only other one listed is vol 3 but newer.

Bit the bullet and ordered 2nd hand copy of volume 1.

📚📖 Library Fail: ordered book 2 and not book 1 📚📖
Still mid 'I am Dynamite' so no rush. Ordered book 1. Although doesn't look like they have book 3. Future problems.

Anyone else read this? #solzhenitsyn #TheGulagArchipelago

Currently Listening: Dead Otter - The Sentinel. I think someone in #MonsterMagnet produced/helped with. I do enjoy them, and I'm really enjoying this. No vocals. But perfect to vibe to. #DeadOtter #Music #album #TheSentinel #listening #NewMusic

This weekends vinyl: #Cromakopia by #TyleTheCreator. Missed out when it first came out, but 2nd pressing released 🎃, and got a copy. Also been thoroughly enjoying #Florence+TheMachine new album #EverybodyScream, which may well be a future vinyl purchase. Lovely album.

Autumnal baking week. Pie 1 (Pumpkin): arguably looks like its been in tumble dryer (purely an incident prebaking the case). Pie 2 (Apple Crumble Pie): the recipe LIED regarding cook time, but hey ho. #Pie #deserts #cooking #Autumnal #bake
