I have had the most delightful evening, eating dinner alone while watching the chefs at work Brix and Bones in Norwich is a fantastic restaurant, good service, phenomenal food and just an all round lovely place to be 💙

The first of the Snackshots reviews is up, featuring Disneyland Paris' Last Chance Café! Typically, the food I ordered isn't available at the moment, but we did the thing anyway! I gave the place a 3* score, but check out the full review to find out why: www.squidge-eats.com/post/snacksh...

Genuine question. Are there people out there who still read blogs? I feel like I'm crazy for trying to make one work in this age of AI, video and goldfish attention spans, but I enjoy writing and don't want to make videos just for the sake of appeasing the algorithm.

Been tidying my studio a bit and got a bit overwhelmed with it because realistically I need to strip a lot of stuff out and have a proper sort out. So I played with trash instead.

I've been trying to join the Pokemon Professor Program since about... April? And my god, it is draining. They finally finished reviewing my account a couple of weeks ago, and I now seemingly cannot access the online platform for a background check. Why is this so hard?? 😭

Having a minor crisis about things, gimme a mo. I want to make things for my shop, but nobody can afford to buy them. I want to write about food, but does anyone read anymore? The world pushes reels or nothing. And streaming is unsustainable as anything but a hobby. It's disheartening y'know?

Been taking some time to myself recently as I've had *a lot* going on. And it means I've been taking stock a bit too. I think next year I'll take a break from vending at events, save maybe a local or two. People just don't have the disposable income for my crafts and I don't need the stress.

I decided that as my new bottle of UV resin arrived today, I'd crack on with more trinkets. I did not think about how gross my hands would be in the protective gloves 🫠 can we have a break from the heat please?

Been up since 7.30am and at my desk not long after, trying SO hard to get something productive done before the real heat of the day kicks in. My PC has been on for about an hour, I've written about 700 words of a food review, and I am a sweaty mess 🙃

I should be in France right now, at Le Mans. But due to a plethora of garbage, I had to cancel the trip. Silver linings though, I wouldn't have my sofa in France 🤷‍♀️

I spent Monday and Tuesday this week at theme parks, trying food, taking notes (and having fun) to try and get some stuff off the ground for Squidge Eats. So, of course I am now struggling to actually write this up properly. I haven't even done my Disney stuff yet 🙃

I'm slowly getting my creative streak back. It's still taking a lot of effort to sit down and make stuff, but bit it's a start. Carrying on my 'upcycling' trend - Pokemon ETB dividers make neat magnets. They're a little big, but I love this idea.

Two Pokemon card box dividers put into wooden frames and turned into magnets. The left features Gigantamax Pikachu and the right features Mewtwo. Each frame has an engraved pokeball in the bottom right corner

This year has been, quite frankly, awful for me on a personal level, but I am going to try and get something out of all of this. Even if it's just spiteful determination. Goals include finally taking my Pokémon Professor exam, playing more VGC, and doing more with @squidge-eats.bsky.social.

I am well versed in how games can help and heal people, and I think Pokopia has come along at the perfect time for me. I've hit credits once, but given how my life has shifted in the last week, I think it's time to restart the game. I've got lots of Pokemon friends to make now.
