yes!! this would be so wonderful! My mum still talks about her penpal from when she was young. I think she even ended up going to her penpal's wedding!! I am so open to penpalling! <3
local/college radio is the absolute best way to find new music, especially when they are non-commercial and have a lot of freedom with what they play. sometimes you need to look past some bad picks but that’s part of the fun. also!! when u get into a habit of tuning in routinely you hear the same DJs frequently and get to know them and it’s so cute. AND local radio stations often run events and you can get involved and meet your favourite DJs and all of a sudden it’s not just discovering new music it’s a community!!! long live college radio!!
Literally cannot get off that app. One woman's trash is another woman's treasure is so tangibly true as I text the english mums about their old dresses and tops I'm buying off them for a fiver. Currently waiting for a pair of sandals from 'mumov2' which are slightly delayed because she was surprised with a little getaway last weekend. Absolutely delighted for her.
recently bought two novelty teapots and now I can make tea with my roommates and drink it out of a teapot that is shaped like a fireplace or like a little house. Tea and a chat is already a daily staple and silly teapots just add some whimsy. 10/10 recommend
