Tough day? Remember, you're not alone. ❤️ Sending strength and love. Bad days happen, but they don't define you. Focus on self-compassion – be kind to yourself. Tomorrow brings new possibilities. #mentalhealth #resilience #selfcare
Because it’s almost Christmas, today I’m giving it my...almost. Not perfect. Not full throttle. Just enough. And that’s OK. Showing up gently still counts, especially this time of year. Be kind to yourself.

Watched Wake Up Dead Man. The knives are still out, but the spark isn’t. Feels tired, like the franchise had one twist too many. Not awful. Just… there. A pale cousin to the first two.

Christmas can be loud, shiny, and still painfully lonely. If today feels heavy, you’re not broken. Be gentle with yourself. Lower expectations. Reach out to one safe person. Take breaks from socials. Loneliness passes, even when it lies to you. You matter.

Glass Onion tries very hard. Slick, shouty, full of clever people telling you they’re clever. Not a patch on the first Knives Out, but it’s fine. A glossy distraction while you scroll your phone. #GlassOnion #KnivesOut #FilmChat #MovieNight

Knives Out is a proper movie night treat. Big cast, sharp knives, sharper lines. Everyone chewing the scenery and clearly loving it. A cosy whodunnit with teeth. More fun than it has any right to be.

Gentle reminder that the whole “just work harder” story isn’t the full picture. Struggle isn’t a personal failure. Systems matter, luck matters, support matters. If it’s been heavy, that makes sense. Be kind to yourself.

Colombiana is messy, loud, and carried hard by Zoë Saldaña going full cold-blooded grace. Not perfect, but she sells every stare. Also, that soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting. Revenge with good tunes.

You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Breathing counts. Rest counts. Showing up as you are counts. Be a little kinder to yourself than you were yesterday. That’s real progress.

Relay (2025). Gritty, smart, keeps you guessing. Riz Ahmed cool as ever. Lily James pulls a sneaky switcheroo and suddenly you’re questioning everyone. Not cosy. Not tidy. I liked that.

In the Line of Fire. Eastwood brooding like it’s personal. Malkovich scheming like he invented evil. Tense, smart, and satisfying. You watch it thinking, yep, people can be terrifyingly good at their jobs. #90sThriller #Eastwood #Malkovich #MustWatch

Don’t take your life personally. Not every setback is a verdict on you. Some days are just weather passing through. Be gentle with yourself while it does. You’re allowed to learn, rest, and keep going.

Some things aren’t asking for your judgement. They’re just happening. And that’s okay. You don’t have to label every moment to get through it. Sometimes noticing, breathing, and letting it pass is more than enough.

Oh, Bristol, my Bristol.
A city that doesn’t try to be tidy or perfect, and that’s exactly the point.
Full of corners, character, colour, and quiet magic.
I love your quirkiness. Never change.

A gentle check-in: if something isn’t serving you anymore, it might be quietly holding you back. You’re allowed to outgrow habits, roles, even expectations. Letting go isn’t failure. It’s space for what fits now.

Love may be quieter than you think. Not fireworks every day, just steady care, small check-ins, showing up when it counts. If it feels calm and kind, that still matters. Maybe it matters most.

Last Shift (2014). Ooooerr missus. Night shift, empty police station, bad vibes on tap. Cheap? Yep. Effective? Also yep. Jump scares land, dread creeps. Proof you do not need money to ruin your sleep.

I read something today that really opened my eyes. The Social Model of Disability says no one is disabled, it’s society that does the disabling. It made me rethink how we treat each other. Maybe we can all do a bit more to make life easier. #Inclusion #Accessibility

Sometimes things fall flat and it stings, but it doesn’t mean you’re done. It’s just life nudging you in a different direction. Take the hint, breathe, go again. You’re allowed to learn as you go.

This is so me. Turns out there’s a Japanese word for having a separate stomach for pudding. Betsubara. Finally a bit of science that explains my life choices. Makes me think there’s always room for small joys, even on heavy days. #Betsubara #LittleThings #FoodLove

Some days life throws curveballs and it’s easy to tense up. But if you can, try seeing those moments as a chance to stretch a bit and learn something new. No pressure, just gentle steps forward. You’ve got more in you than you think. #Growth #KeepGoing

Sorting out my music and stumbled on an old friend. Tale to Tell by The Mummers. Forgot how much soul that album has. Proper little time capsule. Gave me a weird rush of hope I didn’t know I needed. Funny how music does that.

Right, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest really ties the whole wild ride together. Noomi Rapace turns up again looking like she could end a government with one stare. Honestly, her hair should get its own spin off. It steals scenes. #HornetsNest #NoomiRapace #NordicNoir

Trying my best today. Some things will land, some things will wobble, and that’s fine. I’m reminding myself to stay kind, even when I slip. If you need that reminder too, take it. We don’t have to get it perfect to make it a good day. #BeGentle #MentalHealth #SmallSteps

Feels wild how life can flip with one moment. An accident, a call, a diagnosis. It reminds me to stay grounded and notice the small stuff while it’s here. None of us is as solid as we pretend. Be gentle with yourself today. #MindfulLiving #TakeCare
