And that's why they got a London Overground line named after them.

Conchiglie! Love how it can hold so much pasta sauce and stuff inside it.

Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of watching the stock market crash every 5 years

it's the time of the year when I keep questioning whether I'm imagining I'm sick or not because I drastically swing between full blown sore throat & cold to symptoms of mostly fatigue within a matter of hours

it's spring (!) but it's also allergy season so I'm only allowed to enjoy the nice weather & longer days in moderation and wow it's not even peak grass pollen season yet

More cats!

This is now a cat picture account.

very shocking episode as a whole, the villainy of the state is cartoonish. The segment on the immigrant hit the hardest as it really could have been me in another lifetime.

really enjoying listening to BBC sounds these days, it's nice to listen to music (I hope!) semi curated by humans with some human commentary and radio 3 unwind is my favourite!

where is this?

Playful Circle line departures board at Liverpool St station in London. Features a smiley face for one of the destinations to mark Blue Monday which occurs on the 3rd Sunday of January every year which some call the most depressing day of the year.

Happy Blue Monday to those who celebrate! 💙 I marked the occasion by stocking up on vitamin D, C zinc & magnesium supplements 💊

Highly recommend the exhibition! Spent hours examining every artefact.

Travelled with my British passport for the first time last week & no one asked me a single question on why I was visiting the country or what I did in the UK.

Without immigration checks, getting out the airport just took 5 min! Otherwise I would spend an hour at Heathrow minimum, unbelievable!

3 balls of colourful wool yarn

Haven’t yet finished a project but I already have more soft yarn to play with. So far the first 100 hundred hours have been about undoing the yarn after every single mistake :-)

Really disgusting weather today, took me full 30 min to walk back a mile home in 35 kmph winds. We seem to have a storm every month now.

People: What productivity software do you use?

*whispers like Chani* my planet Arrakis is so beautiful when the sun is low. Jk there’s never any sun in London and I still love it.

Cold winter night walks, it’s hard not to romanticise London 💕

My big beef is with how lately weekends have been grey and rainy 🌧️ while weekdays always seem to be full of sunshine.
