I’m very happy with my new camera lens. I’m needing to learn to shoot in a different way with it, but that’s working really well for me. It’s encouraging me into a new creative headspace.

Today, I was shooting for two hours. Bliss!!

I’m really excited to get into the edit..


Sometimes the world looks a lot nicer through a camera

Tea time by the pond. I’ve been on another photo walk. That’s 2 in 2 days. Feels good to be out creating. ☕️

Turkish food 👌🤤❤️


I want to dance like no one’s watching

but apply it to anything and everything I do

that’s the idea anyway

in my head I imagine everyone who sees me or what I do, is judging me

but is that me judging myself?

the mental obstacles are intense, and debilitating

I want to create freely, just as I am


I upgraded Horizon Zero Dawn to the Remastered version and it’s incredible. It’s such a beautiful game and it sounds gorgeous in 3D audio too. I only played it for a few hours years ago, so I’m planning to finish it this time. 🎮


The Fortnite event was pretty good. Snoop Dogg live from New York streamed in the game! I’m not much of a fan but his hits do bring back memories. Very cool. The trailer for Chapter 2 Remix season is awesome! Can’t wait to get back on that island! 🎮

Gaming on aeryn.me: I’ve changed the category of “Gaming” to “Games” and have added redirects.

Gameplay videos won’t be shared to socials. They’re on YouTube and Games. 🎮

I’ve updated my Bluesky handle to “@aeryn.me” (which I used before, changed, and now I’ve changed it back again 🤷‍♀️)

I got all my chores done and got ready to go out except I’m actually ready to go for a nap now. And if I don’t go out now it will get dark soon. Hmm.

It’s super grey and flat out there. Not feeling inspired.

But let’s do it!


That’s the longest night sleep I’ve had for a while. I actually woke to my alarm, instead of hours before it.

I wish I felt refreshed though


I had a moment I realised I’m wearing clothing mostly made of various type of plastic. It freaked me out a bit.

I’ve been trying to buy more and more 100% cotton clothing in recent years but it’s an expensive exercise.

I treated myself to 100% cotton bedding last month and it’s DIVINE 😇


.. oh, valley of plenty, ah-ah oh.. 🎵

I think the UK should stay on BST (GMT+1) – or compromise at GMT + 30 minutes – all year round. I can never get my head around the clocks changing and the different daylight hours. I can logically work it out and adjust my expectations, but I am discomclockulated for a week or two every time.

Sunset in the village today. It was beautiful. 🌅📷

The colours have got crunched in the upload (which is an internet thing, not a Micro.blog thing, as far as I know 🤷‍♀️). It looks amazing on my phone but has lost a lot of drama in the sky when I look at the uploaded version.


Two days after I added a lens to my camelcamelcamel it just got discounted to the lowest price ever.
So, maybe I just


I grabbed a lifetime subscription to Everlog (on sale at £25). I’m going to slowly switch over from Day One.

The only down side is I’m limited by available space in my iCloud account. And I’m assuming this applies to my device too. But I’m not sure about that.
