i miss it sometimes. i miss you all obviously. i did spend almost 10 yrs working out a way to move north. so although my leaving was in mid emotional crisis it was kinda planned.

however, networks are so important for you at the mo. the friends are there around you. use them. :)

i saw this one... deffo didnt have that on the bingo card.

....worst, before i left edinburgh, counselling really helped. Just having that third party to voice stuff too, to clarify my thoughts and occasionally guide your brain.

Aimi gave me a recommendation at the time. Really opened my eyes to that idea that sometimes you just need someone to talk to.

-typical state... never mind wondering if your brain is thinking straight due to lingering effects of lifestyle.

the alienation thing was real and then feeds into a isolation/depression thing for me.

find wholesome activities to compensate.

as for discussion, key friends but really at my....

having a clear head does wonders..... although it takes time. it took me leaving edinburgh to break that cycle tbh.

i found relationship stuff horrific to deal with in the context of the social and chemical grind. it's hard enough to work out what you feel and want to articulate in the best neuro-

Such a weird weather year... It's just stopped raining up here in the highlands. Barely 20% of the normal rain since spring. Nice in one respect but it really makes everything a tinderbox.

In Geography terms we're living on the far side of the rain shadow of the cairngorm mountains.

finally got around to watching this series this week....

epic.

final episode to watch tonight...

loving it overall, even thou it's a bit historically "fluffy". It's got me endlessly googling facts about the time period as I watch.

the music reminds me of Dead Man. Early Jonny Depp. Seen it?

The overwhelming feeling of using windows 11 for a while is that microsoft are making the Edge browser like an old school malware popup...

....trying so hard but failing to get you to use it.

AI slop taking over the world

hah, that's what the wife said.... actually looks better in real life

I had a little too much fun making this new display.

Gold Leaf is posh man's glitter.

Hello King Puppet :) :)

my fav prop build at the most recent work event.

quality.....

Today i've mostly been lamenting the difficulty in photographing desktop dimensional portals when both inactive and active.

Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees Ecosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.

www.ecosia.org

really enjoying ecosia as a replacement to Chrome. Especially with google search making it seem very familiar. Nice for it not to be spamming me with AI generated (electricity using) results, each search too.....

bluesky needs more cats

honestly cannot handle looking at facebook just now. or the news......

stress level maxed out.

This week we've mostly been working on occult dimensional portals

Bee's r good

Southbound waiting room - empty of the friends whom spent all evening, night and early morning there bbqing in the rain.

If you build it..... they will come....... and party....

The best bit of platform left just at the end of our garden....

Forest really waking up now the rain has come.

Today I smell mostly of comfry tea. It's not nice.

Windows 11 is making me miss my Chromebook

We've just joined the 21st century of internets.

Fibre, rather than potato internet.... up here in the highlands....

I'm plotting my youtube career now.

i also paused my audible. trying to save pennies and stop funding so many american big companies.

but spent my last credits on buying some of my fav Culture books on audio.

Just finished Use of Weapons, Player of Games and Matter during a week sci-fi sesh...

Bliss.

i turned off apple tv just in time to miss this.

A little bit of apocalypse prepping.

Blessed to live where we do.

i just lingered over the heart button thinking the same.
