Burnt my tongue

Burnt my tongue

I burnt my tongue earlier on a slice of pizza, and honestly, it feels damn sore. It looked harmless. A little steam, a bit of bubbly cheese. I thought get it in me and went straight in. Instant regret. Mouth on fire. Tongue ruined. Lip now also sore. Did I stop? Of course not. I [...]

She stands in a field

She stands in a field

She stands in a field that feels soft and real with wild grass, fading light, a sky caught between day and night. And then there’s her. Perfect. Polished. Almost too precise for a place that isn’t trying to be anything at all. That contrast is the whole story. Nature just exists, messy, effortless, unfiltered. But [...]

The first coffee

The first coffee

I don’t wake up ready for the day. I wake up confused. Honestly, every single morning. Before coffee, I stare at the ceiling like it’s at fault for me having to get up. I’ve brushed my teeth, dressed and ready I think for the day.I’ve read a simple email and run to make another cuppa. [...]

The world is a bit shit right now

The world is a bit shit right now

Let’s not sugar coat it, the world feels pretty shit right now. Every time you open your phone there’s another headline designed to make your chest tighten. Wars you can’t fix. Politics that feel like a shouting match with no listening. Prices going up while patience, empathy, and common sense seem to be in freefall. [...]

Snowdrops

Snowdrops

My urge to film kicked in when I visited Kess Crystals Snowdrops destination last night. So I may be back over the weekend when I have more time to do a destination video. I’ve been letting my filming take a giant back seat due to a lot of things but mainly the reality of my [...]

Back at it

Back at it

I went back to work today and realised I’m just a number. Hence my avatars face. I had my stitches out yesterday and I have not fully healed. So I have to keep dressing it and keep clean. Also no wild walking etc for weeks to come. Not an issue, me walking distances? Nah. After [...]

Sun’s Out, Scars Out

Sun’s Out, Scars Out

The sun’s shining, the sky’s pretending it’s still summer, and here I am, proudly swanning about in my shorts like I’ve just been sponsored by Savlon. Why? Because my legs are still decently presentable until my next melanoma operation on the 23rd of October on my shin. I’m having another WLE. Just as the first [...]

Emotional support swing

Emotional support swing

I sat on a virtual swing last night. Just me, the sunset, and a mild sense of “what the actual hell is going on with life.” It was quiet. Too quiet, actually. I half expected my cat to start judging me for sitting there like a moody poet. The swing creaked with every push, probably [...]

Standing thinking

Standing thinking

I’m just standing. That is all I want to do right now. I’ve lost interest/excitement for so many things lately that I need to just stand still, ponder, consider and reevaluate what I want and don’t want. It’s a very mixed message blog post I know. But then my blog posts often are mixed messages [...]

Picture Perfect

Picture Perfect

I had one of those moments where my avatar just stopped me in my tracks. There she was standing against a backdrop. Head high, posture perfect, not a single pixel out of place. Honestly? Fetching doesn’t even cover it. It’s funny how an avatar can carry a kind of confidence I don’t always channel myself. [...]
