My eldest came to visit today. An excellent opportunity to spoil him with some good food, and catch up on a bunch of Babylon 5 episodes. I don’t see him very often these days and I miss him (his brother too of course). So it’s been a real treat for me.

I got really caught out by the clocks changing last night. I went to bed at 02:30 BST wondering where all the time had gone. I didn’t realise till this morning.

Now I feel pretty disorientated. And I missed half the day already.

I’ve been thinking about clearing off the internet. Shutting everything down. 99.999% sure I won’t. But it’s on my mind. Not enjoying this any more.

With any luck, I am spending the day with my oldest son. Yippee. He’s awesome.

I forgot how persistent fresh turmeric can be. Totally worth it tho

Yesterday I had my first New Camera Meltdown. Somehow some settings got changed and I found myself getting lost in menus when I was standing in front of a scene I wanted to shoot. Ugh. It was beyond frustrating. I need to learn this camera’s systems.

I’ve been drifting away from social media again. Not deliberately but more in a way that I didn’t notice. I think this is a really good thing. I’m looking after myself without it having to be something I’m giving up or denying myself, no matter how healthy the intention. It’s not forced.

We have begun planning a family holiday for this summer. It’s my first trip away since before the 2020 situation.

We just need to fine tune out dates and then we can look for accommodation.

I’ve been visiting and meeting family in various places for four days straight. It’s been really really nice.

Now I am socially wiped out and having a very quiet day today. I have zero plans, nothing on my schedule and I’m ignoring my to do list.

There’s a young magpie squeaking outside my window. It’s so cute 🐦

I’ve been playing the beginning levels of Split Fiction with my kid. 🎮 It’s pretty good. There have been some hilarious moments.

We really loved A Way Out and It Takes Two.

A Way Out has a fantastic story tho and is my favourite so far although it looks a little dated now.

I spent some nice time with my parents today. And I have the next few days booked with various family members including a birthday celebration. Very nice 😊

Creating has been equally tiring and restorative today. I had to push myself to get this out of the door but it was definitely worth the effort.

I’ve been using Craft app to build out some private behind-the-scenes pages for subscribers. And it’s working really well for me.

I have a post scheduled for 9:10pm. It’s now 9:46pm and it hasn’t gone live yet.

is there a problem with Micro.blog tonight?

It’s duvet hour for a mental self-care reset and some rest. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

We are having a mini heat-wave here in Manchester. I have been writing in my local Costa Coffee this morning and now I’m soaking up the atmosphere and birdsong in the park. 📹↑HQ

Oof. That was a very intense experience of someone being very forceful with my experience. Like..

When someone is telling you it is your fault whilst telling you it’s not your fault.

I feel very yucky now. I need to go scream into the void.

Apple support are calling me at when o’clock today?
Support agent said 08:30. Email says 08:30 BST.
We are still on GMT.
So maybe they’ll call me an hour early. 🤷‍♀️
