Senses of February

Sight - Ronnie Scott’s, very specifically the ceiling 😍
I’ll be replaying that evening for months but WOW the acoustics and just the level of detail and craftsmanship, I saw a TV show once on how ceilings changed our brains and emotions and I think if I lived in Ronnie Scott’s I’d be like Frida Kahlo

Sound - This has to be Jill Scott, “To Whom it May Concern” delivers! I’ve been listening to albums like its the 90’s recently, cover to cover as the artist intended. slow and immersive, no phone or distractions, it’s really brought me back to how much I love music.

Smell - Fresh coffee at the studio in the mornings which totally contradicts my point about tea (to follow) but I’m a woman of contradictions and thanks Leanne that detail really makes my mornings ☀️

Taste - Royal Masala Chai from a little Indian supermarket I found. Warm, nourishing like a little hug in a cup

Touch - I’ve been spending time drawing and writing more creatively through Feb (just for the joy of it not with an agenda to be any good),the feel of fresh pages, tactile and simple.

So anyways this is my new little round up, coming back to the senses each month.

February 🌦️

The days are stretching out, light is seeping through the drizzle and bursts of purple and yellow flowers are gossiping in the dirt about sunny months yet to come.
If that’s not hope, I don’t know what is.

Made a light filled addition to my my week at The Practice 💕

Said a happy travels to Kels at Rivu 🫶🏻

Ticked off a life bucket list at a Ronnie Scott’s in celebration of some favourite humans.

Four books behind on my reading target.

Got bangs, will absolutely regret.

Bounced through rehab both literally and figuratively 🤟🏼

“Now, I don’t know if you believe in this sort of thing, but I do believe we’re all connected. We’re like coiled springs, each of us a hair’s breadth away from total collapse… and yet, here we are.”
— Moira Rose, *Schitt’s Creek

January 🌪️

A month of unexpected things …. Sometimes you climb the mountain at the start of the year ☺️

I feel a little emotionally bent out of shape, tired and frayed around the edges whilst content and so grateful for an abundance of love this month.

What a life 💕
