So tired of sitting on the sofa with someone, flicking around the streaming services going back and forth on what to watch. For the first time in ages me and my friend just picked something that looked good and watched it. We need to stop trying to optimise the enjoyment of every moment of of our lives because we end up spending ages doing nothing. PS. Tangerine is a good film, you should watch it.

I feel like such a good friend and i remember how easy it is to simply watch a movie (not a chore, actually!)

This will sound sacrilegious, and of course the best way to watch a great film is to have the time to enjoy and savour it, lights out, no phone, like the cinema. BUT I realised I was often watching shitty TV shows because I just wanted to watch something for half an hour. But you can literally just watch half an hour of a film and then watch another half hour another time. Plus if you get sucked into the screen you only watch a 2 hour film rather than being stuck watching like 5 hours of a random show.

Made a WhatsApp group with all my film friends in it and have been using it coordinate going to screenings. It's so much fun! There's loads of little independent screenings happening where I live and some very good independent cinemas, but even if all you have is a TV you should start a film club too. This evening I'm off to an old pub that's been converted into an events space to watch The Garden by Derek Jarman 😎

I've been really interested in silver casting for ages and finally managed to get a place on a carving and casting course at my local jewellery school. It's been an absolute blast, and as someone who's bad at making time to do creative stuff, having something timeboxed in that I've already paid for makes a huge difference. I was also for a long time adamant that the only thing I needed to pick up new skills was YouTube and some perseverance, I was absolutely wrong, there's nothing better than having an expert nearby and all the right tools on hand to make learning a new skill less painful. So take a class! Learn something new! Apply your innate ability to create beautiful things!
Pictured: The two rings I've made so far, one was cast from a design I sculpted in blender and then 3d printed. I love it's lil' face 😊
