Three years ago after lots of big life changes, I decided to make one more and move to the seaside. Still one of the best decisions I’ve made.

The happiest Japanese Christmas market near my house today.
So many lovely conversations, small kind compliments from strangers, cute gifts… and a very intentional effort to eat everything.

I went to my local Dogs Trust Christmas Fair this morning. Safe to say these two old dudes absolutely won my heart (I mean all of them did). Not quite pup adoption ready yet but I’ll definitely be back here when I am.

I do love a floofy geriatric cat

Friday’s team meeting have a strong bias towards a dog friendly office policy and I can honestly say it’s the most enjoyable meeting I’ve had in a long time.

I do miss my little corgi pal - even though she gave me more judgemental looks than is strictly necessary

It’s my birthday. Happy birthday to me. These photos suggest I’m a feral, glitter-soaked gothic goblin of the night, today I am, regrettably, a fragile Victorian child requiring nourishing broth, cuddles, and possibly a fainting couch. But I looked damn cute.

Please enjoy this moral deception…

When I was little, I always wanted to be a nurse (my love of music changed that!). I’m quite naturally a nurturing person. Today I gave mumma a subcutaneous injection which helps increase white blood cells after chemotherapy. Nurse skills unlocked! Sadly no longer have this outfit.

My cousin is currently on holiday in Japan and asked me what treats I want…I hope she has extra luggage capacity for the list I’m about to send her. But overwhelmingly I want this

Flowers from some lovely colleagues made me a little dewy eyed. Simple gestures make a whole lot of difference

Perks of having older sisters: free therapy I didn’t ask for and shoes I absolutely did.

Sewing some patches and it feels like fixing something ancient in myself. Thread through denim, patch through the pain, emotional maintenance by needle (that’s not a tattoo for a change).

It’s bitchin’ stitchin’, and damn if it isn’t cheaper than therapy.

Funeral on Halloween outfit memo completed. I think my friend would have approved. A very profound and wonderfully loving celebration of a man who gave a shit about others, kindness and being unabashedly yourself.

Happy Halloween! #boo #madeyoujump #halloween

I have this wonderful elderly gentleman keeping me company today. He’s only interested in cuddles and snacks. We are incredibly similar people.

Last week, during a very long walk and lunch talking the entire time about life, death, love, the universe and everything in between, my friend who is a journalist and poet, announced she’d written a poem about us and I love it.

Woke up to a beautiful redhead in my bed

You may enjoy this, apparently someone handed him a beer to taste and he quite enjoyed that

Sumo did happen and it was goooood.

Everyone has that random unposed photo of their mum from years ago where she is literally the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen in your life.

Sumo on Lime bikes cycling down Park Lane is the joy I didn’t know I needed on a Wednesday

I’d say I’ve always been kinda lukewarm

My lovely friend Myke passed away suddenly today. He was fucking brilliant.

I woke up this morning remembering I’m headed home to Liverpool for the weekend and all I can think about is eating chips and gravy by Anthony Gormley’s iron men on Crosby beach.

Loving that people are sending me their lists too.

I’m sorry but surely this needs the recognition it deserves
