Trying to convince myself to take care of my (fairly rubbish) nails by painting them purple. Not pictured: the much, much worse right hand.

Caught in a sunbeam

Did I get rained on? Yes. Did I walk further than my body was comfortable with? I mean, yep, probably. But did I get to see some trees? Yeah! And did I catch a bunch of shiny pokemon? Sure did!

flip the coin to see if I live past childhood i guess

On holiday! Freesias potted up, and baking done - today it's ANZAC biscuits, (because golden syrup, rather than patriotism). They are gluten free! (but with oats, so not coeliac safe)
