I made a flying visit to my favourite local coffee

I made a flying visit to my favourite local coffee shop yesterday, booked an appointment to get my nails done tomorrow and another for a full body massage next week. 🥺 They’re all small things but I’m starting to feel a little less android and and a little more human, hallelujah. Also shout out to the people who booked Monday off work and spent the entire day boozing in the pub. Such foresight deserves celebration 👏🍺

So, how did the iconic April 12th treat you? Were

So, how did the iconic April 12th treat you? Were you venturing out to enjoy long-booked appointments or chilling at home, business as (new) normal? 💭 Understandably there is a lot of anxiety about this transition period and the staggered reopening of public places & events, but wheewwwwwww I was happy to have somewhere to go today (the gym - I’m very out of practise 🥲).

Even while I was walking down, to see the peppering of people outside cafes and restaurants that have been dead since Christmas was a really hopeful sight, and my mind wandered into the imagined conversations they might be having. How they’ve been coping with the loneliness of lockdown, what TV they’ve binged and promise me you won’t tell anyone but I heard on the grapevine that - 👀

One thing I’m determined to do this year is plan some kind of something with each of my loved ones, whether that’s a bottomless brunch or a trip to the garden centre (note to self: do not mix up the gals booking with my Nan’s).

I don’t know, it’s early days yet but the prospect of making up for lost time is quite powerful, so even if it’s naive to book things in now, I’m going to run with it. 🏃‍♀️

Happy Saturday from Mom & Dad ✌️ Just took our weekly stroll into town for veggies and donuts and now it’s 100% laziness until Monday morning rolls around. Look after urselves kids, take your vitamins and have a beer. 💖

I was going to write “this is how I wait for Kei

I was going to write “this is how I wait for Keiran to come home”, but it’s so hilariously inaccurate that I can’t even lie. Most of the time it’s no make-up, a dressing gown and yesterday’s socks, and hey, maybe I’ve showered already, maybe I haven’t. I don’t know about you, but catching glimpses of myself in the bathroom mirror after a pee has rarely been a welcome sight; my logical brain knows that in the grand scheme of things, the bags under my eyes and my frizzy hair are totally insignificant, but my emotional brain JUST WANTS TO BE PRETTY. It’s a battle between common sense and those persistently whispering insecurities, tagging along for the ride since being a teenager. It’s one thing to know you shouldn’t care about something, and it’s another to ~ actually not care ~, right? And I’m somewhere, oscillating endlessly in between.

Resharing 2020’s only date night look because...

Resharing 2020’s only date night look because... first post-lockdown date night is officially PLANNED! ✍️🍷 I’m so happy!!! It’s nothing fancy - just a Friday night trip to a nearby pub - and it will probably be so freezing that I have to wear a puffer coat the entire time, but I’ll take it. Dinner and a show has only gone so far as Nando’s and Netflix these past few months so the promise of tipsy conversation and pub grub is all too delicious. And after trying - and failing - to replicate some worthwhile iteration of date night at home, it will be refreshing as fuck to leave these four walls and enjoy each other’s company, feeling like fully-formed, relatively good-looking & funny adults, rather than two amorphous blobs who just happen to bump into each other on the way to the fridge.

Gals, it’s time to pull out the ass-enhancing underwear and pour a large one: date night is back. 😏👅

This jumpsuit was in one of my sell/donate/re-home

This jumpsuit was in one of my sell/donate/re-home bags but I pulled it out of retirement and WHAT WAS I THINKING? 💭 I can’t believe I was going to part ways with it! To all of my fellow hoarders, keepers and hanger-on-to-thingers, consider this a sign: you ARE right and you probably WILL wear it again (but the Gu Pud ramekins? Yes bby they have to go). 💐✨
