june, a pretty stable and regular month, the standouts being the closure of hot doughnut in partick, travelling to dumfries and back from armadale for a quest 2, and the prospect of a future hospital appoinment. photo is of the catholic side of a "peace wall" from my trip to belfast, showing the shared struggle between irish republicans and palestinians.

may, a very busy month for me full of travel, first to aberdeen, bute, then belfast. it was quite a fun month but I mostly remember it from my air fryer chip era where I only ate homemade chips for a few days, trying to make my own chippy sauce and perfect chips, and the election, my first to vote in and a massive success for my party. photo is of annie from when we went to glasgow green in april during the heatwave.

april, was a month I mainly remember for the nice weather, and a hospital appointment that really changed my mind about a lot of things and made everything feel clearer and like there was a path forwards. not an outstanding month in a good or bad way. photo is of a highland cow me and annie saw when we went to skye at the end of the month prior

march, i've been feeling more of a december 2024 era, and music here is very much reflective of that maybe a sign of a better mood? who can say. the photo is of paddington at the peruvian embassy in london from my trip in february

february, sort of all over the place, but i think that's not neccessarily bad, it's organisd in my own way. it's been quite a nice month so far with the london trip and aberdeen trip and party. the photo is of apples at costco, only because they share a name with the jack stauber short film "opal", which I think is great

january, very arran month, musically. not sure how to describe it but very pure, didn't try much of a theme here i think 2026 feels like a scary year to me, so there's probably some artsy meaning there if you dig into it. the photo is of the crt monitor i got myself as a christmas treat with "bad apple" playing on it.
