• 26 Mar, 2026 Revisiting my old Tumblr

  I just spend the past hour looking back at my old Tumblr.
  What. A. Throwback.

• 24 Mar, 2026 no unread chats

  

  I can’t explain how much of an achievement this is.

• 22 Mar, 2026 SNL UK

  Currently sitting down to watch the first ever SNL UK. This is going to be interesting!

• 21 Mar, 2026 Sidequests

  Today's Sidequests:

  • Fishcake and chips outside York Minster - sat down to eat and the choir started singing inside.
  • Get a drink at the first place I found starting with 'F' - Fossgate Social
  • Clearance Golden Syrup spotted, Rice Krispie Squares made - it was only 50p so obviously I bought it!

  Let's see what tomorrow brings.

• 18 Mar, 2026 Spring

  I love watching this tree wake up every spring. Feels like I do too.

• 07 Mar, 2026 February

  February went by in a flash,
  the shortest month,
  and suddenly it was March.

  I didn’t write much.
  Life filled the space instead,
  the way it does
  when you’re busy living it.

• 08 Feb, 2026 Meeting Nellie

  Today we met our friend's baby for the first time. It’s amazing to see someone so new to the world and realise how grown-up we are all becoming.

• 01 Feb, 2026 York Residents Weekend

  We both really enjoyed York Residents Weekend. Saturday we went to Castle Howard and walked around the grounds in the sun. Today in York City Centre we checked out the art gallery, the Castle Museum, and the Yorkshire Museum in Museum Gardens. We finally went inside after always walking past. It felt really nice being a tourist in our own city, and the best part was that it was all free!

  Overheard in Leeds

  I don’t care if we have a cat or not, we need it.

• 21 Jan, 2026 Bear Blog novelty

  It’s funny how obsessed we’ve become with this site over the past few days. I hope the novelty doesn’t wear off.

• 20 Jan, 2026 Oxford bookgiver

  

  Throwback to my trip to Oxford - this time last year - where a stranger gave me this book. He said he loved it, so maybe one day I’ll read it?

• 20 Jan, 2026 Lunch thoughts

  It was nice to go for brunch this morning
  I feel a bit more human again
  But I’m not hungry now, so I’m currently sat on my lunch break without any lunch
  Which seems a bit ironic
  Thankfully I have a bottle of Pepsi max for company and I’m considering getting a traybake
  Part of me is negotiating with my future self about whether that means I’m allowed sweets later when I play BG3
  It’s funny how my thoughts spiral like this

• 18 Jan, 2026 Apple notes

  Tonight I've been going through my notes and turning them into blog posts. It's been really satisfying. I finally feel like I've found a space to share my thoughts in a way that is both organised and visually appealing.
