💭 Monday: Scheduled Daydream Day.

🧠 After working all weekend (and having amazing conversations) my brain always needs a responsibility-free-day. I mark these days in my diary as days for daydreams and weird ideas only.

🪫 How do you recharge your batteries?

What year did this movie come out?

Spotted this evening in the window of a bar in Shoreditch, East London. Is this movie part of the nostalgia renaissance?

What do smells sound like?

I went to my regular Saturday boxing class alongside friend and brilliant sound designer Rob Taliesin Owen.

He’s been making wonderful soundscapes for scents:

🔥✨ What might hell and heaven smell like?
This was a fabulously inspiring morning at the Medieval Women exhibition at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social.
We loved this interactive cabinet with scents created by the brilliant AVM Curiosities.
