Day fiftyfour - what a fabulous day!

What better way to start the day, than with a catch up call with my two all-time faves Dan Mears DoP and Adam Marsden! I'm super excited about new ways we can continue to work together!

Then it was over to Riverside Stadium for a VERY exciting meeting with MFC Foundation! I am delighted to announce that we have now locked in the date of 30th April for my own inaugural Neurodiversity Conference 😁 more details coming soon!

Followed by a few hours cracking on with work this aft, before heading back up to the farm tonight to see what state Belle's in after her first rugless day this year 🫣

Highlight of the day: as if the first two bits above aren't highlights enough, the sun has shined long enough for me to get three loads of laundry out on the line! Nothing beats air-dried laundry 😂

Pic of: me and Matty from MFC Foundation this morning, standing in front of the pitch. Up the Boro!

The best time to start was yesterday. The second best is now.

Day fiftythree - a Sunday as Sundays should be: jigsawing, pottering, and finishing it off with a gammon dinner 🩷

Chaos of the day: p*ssed off a chav lol, oops 😅

Pic of: Freej being the best jigsaw helper this afternoon🥰 (read: Freej being a huge adorable hindrance, as per😂)

Prompt: create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.

Things We Don't Talk About Enough: How holding it in is holding you hostage

The Truth:
Suppressing emotions doesn’t make them disappear. The body always keeps count.

The Why:
When feelings have nowhere to go, they leak out as stress, irritability, shutdown, or burnout.

Bottling it up feels easier in the moment, but it compounds over time.

You become the container, the lid, and the pressure all at once.
Eventually, something small becomes the thing that breaks you: not because it was big, but because you were full.

If you’ve ever exploded over something tiny, it wasn’t the moment; it was the accumulation.

Your persistence today is your breakthrough tomorrow.

Day fiftytwo - today's been a bit of a hodgepodge kinda Saturday, decent enough!

I've done a couple of hours work, cleaned the bathroom, had a couple of hours jigsawing, spent time in the sun with all the animals, and got all my daily chores done. A decent enough day, albeit not very exciting 😂

Oh, and the rains back now. I must have jinxed it with my post this morning 🤭

Pic of: I realised I hadn't taken any pictures today, so here's a quick after shower selfie in my freshly cleaned bathroom 📸

Who else uses a shower cap? I love them these days, but I always associate shower caps with older folks so feel like I'm embracing my inner 94 year old when I use mine 😂

WHAT DO YOU THINK I DO? Let me know in the comments!🙏

In a similar vein to yesterday's market research post, can you let me know - what is it that you actually think I do?

I know I work in a somewhat niche industry.

When I say I'm a Culture and Engagement Specialist, I'm usually greeted with a blank stare followed by "...and what does that mean, exactly?".

I know that I haven't really *done* anything yet.

Since launching the business last year, I've been trying to learn as much as I can about marketing and running a business, and how socials feed into that.

I know I'm inconsistent with content - that's because social media isn't actually what I do.

I've been learning, growing, trying. It's all coming together and I'm very excited about what the rest of my first year in business has in store.

So, with all of that in mind, I would love to know - what is it that you think I actually do?😂

I thought we had a very pretty toenail moon tonight, so tried out my Pixel zoom (because ngl I'm totally obsessed 😂). Not the greatest detail tonight, but tell me WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE AN XRAY OF A BANANA?😂😂

Day fiftyone - today has been great! A fab start with another The Social Co Academy bootcamp session, followed by pencilling in a date (30th April, eek! 😁) with the venue for my current big project, a visit to Millbry Hill this aft, and getting the chance to catch up with the absolute legends that are Dan Mears DoP and Adam Marsden!

Highlight of the day: hard to pick, but getting the date pencilled in takes the cake. Now the serious work begins 😁

Pic of: my little trip out to stock back up for Bops. Millbry Hill Country Store is looking fab after the renovations, don't you think?
