okay, first things first: pipe update! i’m back in my flat after spending half of December bopping about elsewhere, and it’s been really good to get the ground under my feet again and root back into my routines (which all inevitably go out the window when i’m living out of a gym bag).

a plumber was able to mend the pipe that had burst in the flat underneath me, and so far it doesn’t look like there’s any water damage to my flat, thankfully. though they ripped up some of the floor in my office/studio, check it out:

add on visiting both pete’s family and mine for christmas, getting sick for a week and an interpersonal crisis and you can imagine my festive period has been pretty chaotic. though i did get an unexpected poem out of it, which was nice.

BUT today is my first day back in the office (i have yet to see any of the office dogs and i miss them but i’m hoping they’ll be in some day soon) so i’m gradually returning to some kind of normality and appreciating the hell out of it.

anyway, that’s my wee update! i’m super pleased to be sharing a ✨ corporalis card reveal ✨ in this email, along with the usual selection of nuggets and goodies.

⏀ the second i watched Getting Dressed: You’re Doing it Wrong by hannah louise poston, i wrote out her 4-step process on an index card and put it next to my wardrobe. i’ve been using it most mornings and it has totally changed how i feel about my clothes! as a steve-jobs-uniform-fashion-minimalist who is sick to death of her current clothes but also hates shopping, this is kind of a game-changer.

꩜ i had a total lightbulb moment with this episode of Creative Pep Talk pod, specifically where Andy talked about how flow state is in some ways like the opposite of an addiction - over time you get INCREASING instead of decreasing returns! whoa! 🤯 🔈 How to Make Work that’s More Creative and Less of a Grind​

✦ lastly, holy shit, Andor was so good ???

take care,
