✨ Highlights

Went to Brighton for FFConf and a couple of days off, and it was joyful! Was really great to hang out with lovely people, catch some sunshine, and have a little of time and space to myself 😌
Made some time to see friends, which was lovely, cause my friends are the best 💛
Finally started moving things to get the house on the market. Someone came round to take pictures, hopefully it will be listed soon 🤞🏼
Didn’t really get on with the therapist I’ve been seing through my health insurance, so I’ve decided to wrap those sessions up and go looking for a private therapist that fits what I’m looking for (basically not CBT).
Got a new piercing! I’d been wanting to get my septum done for ages, finally got off my arse and booked it in.
Started seeing someone really great 💛

Great British Bake Off: I’m really happy Syabira won, she was my fav from the start.
Went to see Triangle of Sadness with my good friend Kevino (if you’re reading this I’m sorry this is your name now forever). I enjoyed it, but it was a bit on the long side.
Got proper into Deathloop and I freaking love it now (it’s on pause while I play God of War though).
We spoke with the last person standing in the floppy disk business by Niek Hilkmann & Thomas Walskaar
Wtf is an island and why is it in my website? by Rach Smith
Shein is even worse than you thought by Sangeeta Singh-Kurtz
The roles we play: this is such a beautiful book and story 💛 I really enjoyed the detail that each chapter came with a chosen track you could listen while you read.
The IndieWeb for everyone by Max Böck
God of War Ragnarök: haven’t had a lot time to get stuck into this, but it’s always satisfying when at the end of a long day you can cleave some fake creatures in half to unwind 😌
Went to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever with Nisha and Rachael. Not the biggest marvel fan, but it was a fun watch and it was lovely to hang out with my mates.
Caught Aftersun after seeing a trailer for it earlier in the month. It was a good watch, and emotionally compelling, but I was really sleepy when I went to see it and there were a few dark, quiet scenes 😅
