Healing faster than usual from a cold!
writing
📝️ I'm blogging on my main blog again, after a week of feeling really crud, mentally.
🖊️ Am working on fiction again, slowly. Am having an idea that I'm pondering publishing.
💻️ I’m editing a short story project, slowly. Have transferred everything into Ulysses now I'm back on MacOS temporarily because Asahi crashed out, so I signed up for a trial to experiment a bit.

🛜 removed reading lists from my site, and have removed it as a category here too. I explain why in a blog post I'm working on now :)
crafting
🧶️ have fallen head over heels for nålebinding. LOVE IT.
🧶️ Found a book in my stash with several granny square patterns so now I’ve started on crocheting a granny square blanket :)
🧶️ also still knitting fingerless gloves.

📺️ Scrubs s2. Still love this reboot. I LOVE the main characters so much, but the new ones are all so great too!
🕵🏻♂️ RJ Decker S2 because the mind wants what the mind wants sometimes, and sometimes it wants cheeeesy detective shows
🔬 NCIS The whole series landed on D+ and I needed something to rewatch while doing other things. Holy moly, I'd forgotten how sexist it is sometimes. 🐸 The Muppet Show We’ve started a rewatch, well more a first watch in some cases as apparently I hadn’t seen a lot back when it was on tv here. It’s a constant delight, even though some of the older stuff is cringy sometimes 🤣
watched
🌃️ Stuart Fails to Save the Universe the credits were the best of it, the last couple episodes were so confusing :)
🏮 Lanterns LOVE IT! Was so unsure of it, first, but all in all I loved it (except the most of the last episode)
joyful things
💜️ Learning nålebinding is such a blessing. An even bigger blessing is the handcarved needle I'm using.
🩷️ I’ve set up another Filofax, a pocket one, with the same setup as my Personal size one. I was sick all week, and I just can't work with the personal size in bed. I do transfer the important things (lists etc) between both planners, and now I can take the pocket size with me when I can head out again.
🩵️ I've bought a couple of new clothes because I had to declutter some things, and I love that I now have enough options for the colder weather, and all clothes fit in my capsule, so everything is exchangeable.
💛️ I’ve bought stacks of transparent boxes with drawers and a lazy susan to organise my desk and have everything I use visible. It's a lot of work but I love the results so far!
something I’ve enjoyed using this week
My pocket filofax. I’ve written a poem every day, and doodled things for inktober
something I’m grateful for
Inktober! I'm doodling every day, and I love it!
Other random things
📋️ I’ve started a new thing on my blog, weekly 5 good things lists. I'm writing them instead of updating this page every week. I want to keep updating it, but not weekly because I keep forgetting :) 🖥️ Am still sorting through old blog posts, in hopes of turning them into a digital garden one day. I have found a great site to host it on, now for the sorting (takes AGES)
Links I love
This is a now page. It was so much fun to create, why don’t you make one too
