I don't feel comfortable finishing art projects in the evenings yet. The night is my most creative time but i don't feel fully adjusted to the quickly fading evening light. I've become so used to creating with the abundant light of summer. Perhaps I'll finish up my current project next weekend 🤔

Started crochet in June 2026 and I'm already working on complex patterns. My retro granny square has taken two weeks but I have one more row left and other projects on the go too. The light is fading so quickly in the evenings now so will need to get a good lamp soon.

Grateful to have a place on amazing poetry workshops w/Vanessa Kisuule - Bristol City poet. But questioning if this is the right time to continue. I know life is fodder for my poems and I'm eager to learn from a poet great and improve my performance but the space and life chapter I'm in is a lot rn

My heart breaks for the women who were silenced, unknown or unseen while they struggled, with their mental and physical health post-partum. The case of Lindsay Clancy really highlights the tragedy and still unknown and unrecognised struggles of women

The last few days I spent in the main city of Croatia -Zagreb. It has lots of interesting museums and I enjoyed the museum of Broken Relationships. I visited on my own and took my time to read through the stories attached to the exhibits. I def rec it as they're dotted all over the world

Zagreb, Croatia at night is a whole vibe. I felt safe to roam the streets on my own at night and just take everything in.

In flight ent. I had some time for painting in the mornings, but crochet was difficult as I was staying with my friends and found it hard to concentrate. I purchased a crochet pattern but kept messing up as I wasn't concentrating. Felt able to make progress on my flight #crochet #beginner
Some yarn, a crochet needle and a beginners crochet project in progress

Croatia 🇭🇷 was amazing and everything my soul and body needed and more. I feel healed by walks and silence nature. and spending quality time w/ good people. I laughed again. The trip was very enriching for me and one I'll never forget Glad I was able to get away. Back to reality now.

The beauty of this place 😍 I am so relaxed but social battery on low. Had to tell my friends not to worry about me. I just need time alone. I'm eating a late lunch and then walking again. The sounds of the many waterfalls are bringing me back to myself. This little break has been phenomenal 🧡

Spent some time tonight playing with my watercolours. Everyone has gone to bed. It was a good idea to bring my old Sennelier palette. Went for a walk with H before lunch and the water is a rich turquoise blue. Reminds me of the Caribbean sea. There's also random waterfalls. 11pm - time for bed

I won't make it to the art museum until near the end of my trip. Sat outside in the terrace rn eating my cold pizza and sipping iced water for breakfast. It's hot already. I'll grab an uber to the airport to meet my pals flying in today

Arrived to my hotel in Croatia, ok. Had a short layover in Frankfurt. Was getting settled in when I realised I need food for my meds. Hotel doesn't serve food. Host recommended a local pizza place. Just waiting on my pizza now. Managed to get the last order in before they close tonight

Ok, I've boarded my flight. Surprisingly calm and haven't needed Diaz today. Breath work has been my go to, which has been enough. I feel the caffeine tho. Full flight. I have my crochet and book in a separate bag under my seat. Just music in my ears - Toots and the Maytals. Bye for now England 👋🏿

Right, I've just finished my packed lunch. Bean salad leftover from yesterday, packet of crisps and a ginger cake. Saving my pret baguette in case i'm hungry later. Time to use the washroom and then figure out where I need to be for my flight. That EES system was stressful, leaving Norway

I usually try and go 'away' on my birthday. Last year was the Grand Canyon and west coast US. Despite a difficult year in 2026, I'm still alive and physically healthy. My mental health ain't there yet, but I'm blessed to see another year.

Waiting for my flight to Croatia. I'm very tired but will get there a day earlier than my pals so I can relax and have an early night. Will just check out the art museum and have dinner tonight. Bonus of just being given free coffee @ Pret. I've gone from sleepy >🤯 Usually I get decaf only!

Packed and ready to go on my holi bobs! Just made some brunch and gonna settle down to finish watching Road to Perdition. It's a great movie. Will get up later to paint my toes, epilate my legs and wash my hair. If I get some packing done today, great, but it's ok if I don't either

Eva Naprika @evanaprika.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
When I get back from my walk, I'll make sure my suitcase is ready to go and then do the next part of packing up my living space. The afternoon should have lots more chill time. I want to finish watching Road to Perdition as, of course, i fell asleep while watching last night

I don't know what happened, but I slept the longest I have done in a while - just over 8 hours. Considering I snoozed yesterday, i don't know.... maybe it was getting outside first thing? I'm just gonna lay in bed for a while then head for a walk

Had a lovely day snoozing on and off on the sofa. I played Steel Magnolias on repeat as I kept snoozing off. I've put some wings in the air fryer and gonna have it with a corn salad from Sainsbury's. Packed up the flat for a bit to move about. Gonna settle down again w/dinner and Road to Perdition

Just cleared and packed away my wfh desk in one box. Will put my art stuff in another box another day. It feels so strange to be packing up my home like this. Don't know how I'm gonna move but my notice is up next month...and I'm getting away from horrible neighbour - yay

After the festival yesterday and the after party, I came home cleaned the kitchen and finished packing. I've just bought some groceries, hung out my washing and plan to veg on the sofa, watch films and snooze all day today.

DVD from the Chazza shop in my stash. It is a classic movie and stars Dolly Parton.. And how is Sally Field doing these days??? Anyway, I can imagine if I were to stream this film now, it'll be expensive and only available for 24 hours or something ridiculous
DVD of the film Steel Magnolias

Having to put my heat pad on under my weighted blanket. Don't know how I will make it out to the festival tomorrow, but my friend and I are excited about seeing Tems perform. Have dug out Steel Magnolias dvd to watch while I finish up my crochet project. Will probably head to bed soon

I suspect it'll take me a while to pack my suitcase, and I'm relieved to have made a start today. Sorted the clothes, socks, undies and my footwear. Next stage is to organise my toiletries. The final part is to pack and check off my packing list. Right now, I have piles I can add to

Just had to ask the support worker to stop asking me questions around suicide. I know its a tick box exercise for them. They said they do it because they care. Erm my friend was very cared for and they are no longer here so please, spare me this

Balance is hard but a necessity: “I should have written another paper”- always followed by “but life got in the way.” Each time, the room nodded in agreement. Why must friends, family, and hobbies be positioned as inconveniences and obstacles that pull us away from our one true goal… more work?

I can't get financial help to move. Even though I desperately need to move for my safety. I have really tried but can't see how this will be possible. Savings have gone and I'm now on SSP that runs out this month. I can't borrow anymore money. Croatia is my last big trip.
