High-end hotels and first class plane tickets are two things I’m always shocked at the price of. Every time.

I’d never been in a proper bookshop nook before. The cosiest part of it is actually how it sounds in there. 360 degrees of books means all sound is absorbed like a lovely sponge.

I’m actually really enjoying summer this year. But I have to admit, I still have autumn and Christmas on my mind rather often. I long for those crisp but foggy days when I crave nothing but walking, fantasy films and takeaways.

I love discovering a wonderful new homepage or blog. Especially on the weekend when I have time to gently sip away at its content. This time it’s Arun and their website arun.is.

One of the biggest changes in my personality with middle age is that I no longer really enjoy travel beyond local weekend getaways. Almost no destination has a pain/novelty ratio that makes it worth it… Even though travel has gotten way more convenient overall (smartphones, eSIM cards, cashless payments, Uber, Google Translate — though at the expense of phone-loss anxiety), my tolerance for discomfort has plummeted. I don’t like shitty hotels/hostels, awkward couchsurfing, wrangling luggage, driving unfamiliar cars, figuring out transit systems… I especially don’t like wading through lots of options figuring out food options. The net effect is that I’ve gradually gone sessile.

I love the illustration on the Pika.page. It makes me feel warm, fuzzy and happy for some reason. I really love it.
