I'm very much an indoor cat
People who almost boast about always being late 🤯 Honestly it may be my neuro-spicy brain but I'm the person who is ALWAYS early. I will be the first person in the coffee shop, on the Teams call, at the airport, wherever.
So much moving house / life in France admin sorted today. Plus our things from England arrived! So spent the morning unloading that into the barn on our new property. So nice of the vendors to allow us to do that. Very thankful. Very tired. Also a mega sense of accomplishment today.
It's happening!
Ducks have moved onto our lake and honestly, it's all I ever wanted 🦆
Vegans in France (specifically Brittany, Normandy, Pays de la Loire) , show yourself! Let's be friends 🤝
Sometimes when I succumb to the anxiety-mosquitos, I remember Ive bloody moved to a new country! Something my anxiety-ridden ass would never have dreamed I'd be capable of.
Slowly, slowly building that quiet dream life in France.
We can do hard things 💪
Happy 43rd January or whatever the f 😒
Thinking about booking a little Valentines day stay at a cute b&b for Adam and I. Its been a long,dark and cold January so something in the diary to look fwd to would do us good right now.
But could our house purchase go through that week? Who knows. So I guess I'll just sit and wait and sulk 😶
Soooo much weight loss stuff in my feed.
Please stop.
I don't want to hear about your diets/before and afters/injections/detoxes.
I want to hear what you're reading/who you have a crush on/what makes your heart sing.
Literally ANYTHING ELSE other than how much weight you've lost.
So looks like I've caught the plague that's been doing the rounds. Sofa day with tea, toast and Lower Decks please 😷
It's not been quite the fairytale first french Christmas I had imagined.
If you are sad or lonely or grieving or suffering with your mental health this Christmas, trust me, you are not alone.
Everyday I wonder if uprooting our lives to move abroad was the right thing to do.
Nothing is easy. The isolation is real.
Trying to remember that once (not too long ago) I wanted everything I have now.
I think it's just the luteal phase/SAD taking the wheel this week.
You know what I love on a Friday evening?!
When your landlord calling to say the ACCIDENTALLY put your home on Air BnB and someone's accidentally booked for TONIGHT.
Oh hey roomies 👋
It's a laptop and duvet on the sofa kinda workday #wfh
Giving WFH a bad name since 2018 💪
@karenkilgariff.bsky.social your story on Cliff Morrison 5B on todays episode touched my heart. Much like Georgia I don't cry - but girl, you got me.
Much love 🖤
Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking, taking to Reddit for advice on something?!? 😵💫 It's enough to make me want to jack in social media entirely.
Imagine being so toxic. Don't be like Reddit.
You'll all be thrilled to hear I put on my big girl pants and went to the bureau de poste , stumbled through asking for tracked international postage and was mostly understood 👍
We can do hard things 💪
Anxiety really can turn such basic life admin tasks into a full time job sometimes.
Wish I could convince my brain that it's just the post office, I'm not being hunted for sport.
Live in rural France they said. Don't worry that the house has no heating they said.
3 pairs of socks and indoor gloves later...
(I am they 🥶)
What with recently uprooting to France and prepping to move house early Jan, Christmas is essentially cancelled at Chez Copeland-Tilley. So I'm going to live my festivities vicariously through you guys, ok? Merci beaucoup 🙏
