They're have the garlicky one in the supermarket now. Spotted it in tescos as i sometimes buy the hot perinaise. I haven't had a cheeky nandos in a while either

Going to get dressed and head out for a walk. My brain is a mess and it's hard to think through the muddle. Perhoas I'll catch the sunrise over the trees and stream

Received the news that Ellen passed away. I could barely sleep last night. We've been friends for nearly twenty years. She inspired my move away from London. I can't really comprehend this. She wanted the peace of death and wanted me to be happy about her dying. I am honestly confused.

Been up for a while trying to work my crowded brain into crochet stitches. Being a new hobby it's not as intuitive yet so had to work over, figure things out, undo and restart several times. Persisted patiently and I'm now on my final few stitches. Will stop for now #crochet #beginners

Glad i bought my incense sticks. Just had everyone pile into my room to investigate the scent! It's one of my faves -sandalwood oil. S has the room overlooking the stream. I can hear it but can't see it. We're going for a walk before dinner. I'll have some company while exploring.

Haven't touched my crochet for a while. Hopefully I can finish my f8rst square and then start another this weekend. I've the Door by Magda Szabo to read and my watercolours. I def want to spend quality time with my friends as ive withdrawn while unwell. Plenty of nature here to heal in too

The ride is at altitude with stunning views😍. Got a pleasant room in the cottage to myself with a bath. glad I bought my cbd bath salts. Everyone is chilling in the living room space but have stayed in my room to decompress. Will crochet and then go for a stroll to explore. I'll meet up for dinner

Ultimate self care for organising myself in all the chaos for a long weekend away in Exmoor - one of my favourite places to roam. 💪 Equipped myself with lots of breathwork, soothing and prn. I've needed this and wondered if I'd make it. Feel a bit better seeing friends on the minibus. 🫶🙏 9.10.2026

Feeling unwell again 😓. I was up for the last bit of daylight to eat and take meds. Found just enough spoons to finish this watercolour before starting another drawing. The drawing is darker in theme but needed to retire back to bed before deciding on the colour palette.

Lots to organise in the meantime. Well done for getting things done early to help you pace. I'm sure itll all be worth it in the end

Could you claim the return cost back? Annoying you have to wait so long

Ever heard of a mug warmer? It keeps the tea hot enough to drink but its not boiling hot. Its like a hot plate in a coaster and every winter I bring mine out as the tea cools too much too quickly lol

Glad you had a nice nap. Maybe I'll get one of those soon myself. I'm pretty tired and emotional but finally time for me to relax now. Have a good evening

A message i needed to hear and read today 🧡 Also went to restorative hot yoga class this afternoon and had a nice shower. Just sitting down now and ate the juiciest and sweetest nectarine. Will probably just manage a couple of rolls for dinner. Sad n exhausted

Woke up to the news that the cancer has spread all over. She is dying I don't know how to act or what to make of it. I also don't anticipate she will make it to 2027.

Just took myself to the cafe for breakfast. Scrambled eggs on toast. Walked back home and came in feeling all faint and dizzy. It was like I couldn't really see or connect with the world. Sat and had two chocolate biscuits and feel like myself again. Weird hypo or wtf??

That is a lot you went through. I'm really sorry for your losses. I lost my close friend this year to suicide and a colleague last year to the same. I couldn't fathom how to cope. My employers treated me horribly and im still reeling from the effects of that. No compassion or grace for me at all

Yes indeed. I don't think people get how serious a risk it is. I worked in Cardiology for a few years so I'm probably hyperaware lol

I admire you swimming in the North Sea. Do you do that all year round?

Eva Naprika @evanaprika.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yeh, going straight to each extreme is crazy!

Eva Naprika @evanaprika.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Thats crazy. Sooo many people advise me to get straight in, jump in. I always tell them no or 'do you' as I know my body will go into shock and cramp up so I need time to adjust especially as it gets colder. The north Sea - whew! I paddled in Scotland as I watched ppl swim in the sea! Wow

It really is good for the muscles. Last time I swam in the cold water, i had intense cramps all over my legs so the sauna really helps

Eva Naprika @evanaprika.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It is a nice touch to have a sauna at the lake. Especially as it gets colder

I'm grateful to have an amazing team around me, including GP, support workers from a local org, and a handful of good friends. I really couldn't have made it through without their help and support. When things settle, I'll make some handmade watercolour cards and i have an idea for a crochet gift

It's colder in the water now, so I really had to gently ease myself in. Once I got used to the water, I had a good swim and sauna session. I read my poetry book in the sun. The sessions are shorter now until the winter season. I'll eventually go back to the indoor pool but there's no sauna

I'm reflecting on whose perspectives will shape these timeliness and would they have a neutral agenda for this endeavour. I agree that at times, I'd find a timeline helpful

Have you checked behind the cooker? Hope you'll be ok. I had a similar situation but had left the hob on amd was burning the air fryer tray. Unsettling not knowing the origins

I've invested in soda stream, i can decide how fizzy i want it. There were syrups included for lemonade or Pepsi max. It is worth the spend

36p?? I didn't know things were still sold at that price. I like tescos sparkling water but my local now only sells the 6 pack of two liters (heavy as well) for nearly £4

This makes me cringe. It is so layered and complex but as much as I'm empathetic person, I'm also astonished. This is privileged at its finest
