the short stack #2
welcome back to the short stack, team!
Happy Sunday, all! 💜
It’s that time again, when I reflect back on the week that’s been and share a little insight into what I’ve been up to - those little joys that make up the big picture.
In the last edition of the short stack (read here) I was sharing the exciting post I had last week. For the sake of my bank account, post this week has been significantly quieter, but I have been getting my serotonin boosts in by ordering from a few small businesses this week!
So what else has been going on?
My brain has been heavily distracted this week with the political hellfire that is the government here in the UK. Phew, it’s been pretty tiring keeping up with it all, hasn’t it?
I’m still working on the post-work fatigue I mentioned last week - but I’m keen to get back into some of my hobbies in the evenings. If you follow me over on Twitter or Instagram, keep me accountable, yeah?
what i’ve been eating and drinking 🍫🍹
I was thrilled to find the limited edition Twirl Caramel in my local Coop this week when I dropped off some eBay parcels. Y’know what? I’d give it a solid 8/10. Tasty but wouldn’t be desperate to seek it out again. The caramel was pretty rich, so if you’re expecting it to be really sweet you might be disappointed!
With the sudden and relentless heatwave in the UK at the moment, I asked my Instagram followers what their go-to drink is in the hot weather, and as soon as someone mentioned Pimms I was immediately pouring myself a glass…then another, and another… for the record, it was Saturday night so it’s OK! 😂
what i’ve been watching…📺
It was The Boys season 3 finale this week, and it was brilliant. I loved this series and I can’t wait to see where the show goes next!
After seeing a lot of hype for it on TikTok, I decided to try the Girl in the Picture documentary and wow…the twists and turns. It was a heartbreaking doc, but very well made and a fascinating story.
I joined Cuteek’s stream late Saturday night for a good ol’ chat and to watch her get YEETED on Fall Guys - go check her out on Twitter and join her streams if you can!
what i’ve been listening to…🎶
I can’t seem to stop listening to The Best Of: My Chemical Romance playlist on Spotify this week. I’ve been rediscovering old MCR songs that I was obsessed with as a teenager. I count myself as #blessed for having seen them on their Black Parade tour 🖤
and that’s another week done! Let’s absolutely SMASH this week 💜
