If you do can you drop me a message to let me know how they perform? I'd really appreciate some real life feedback on someone braver than me

Please tell me you've gotten a flaming skull or similar, that would be excellent for peri/post woman to rock 🔥 💀

Holy shit, I need to start meditating again, this may just give me final push to start doing it 👍

I agree with with your comment and couldn't put it better! I will add (for myself) making/creating art really helps me, and also baking healthy food. Both take me into a chilled out zone.... also me and the bf are going to get e-bikes so we can get out and about, fresh air, exercise and greenery, whilst not killing ourselves, (but you don't necessarily need an e-bike for that)

Also, I'm really sorry that your private journal was weaponized against you, no-one should have to experience that

Suffocate Me, and Heartbreak to Hate are my standouts!

I read a while ago that Shirley did a solo album while on hiatus from Garbage. If I remember correctly the record label wanted to turn into a new Annie Lennox, which she objected to, and instead she served up an (unreleased) record of neo goth darkness... I would sell a kidney to have a copy of that

I've not been to Canal Street for ages, I remember the first few Pride events consisted of some male go go dancers in hot pants, dancing on the back of a low loader as it drove down the street, I couldn't afford the ticket for it today

Five and a half hours, that's dedication! (and pain) You'll have to post a photo when it's healed up

I'd love to get one myself, but I can be very changeable when it comes to what I'm in to, and wouldn't want something so permanent, piercings can be taken out, hair grows back

Having said that, there are some astonishingly beautiful tattoos out there, and there's part of me that still wants to freak my mother out!

Yes, I knew it was on the cards, but didn't expect it so early, thought it might be a tease, alas no....

I've not heard of The Pitt, I've been watching Severance and the White Lotus, but now they've finished I'll be looking for new TV to binge watch

I've only tried one mineral sunscreen and that was full on Coco The Clown 🤡 so I'm very wary of them!

My regular ones have been La Roche Posay, which have really high PA ratings, but are a tad lardy. The Asian ones though are amazing, I've a couple of Skin Aqua ones, my fave (so far) being UV Super moisture Essence

I think that if I'm going to be out and about for long periods the LRP are the ones to use (they feel a bit more 'heavy duty' but that could just be the lard effect). If I'm just nipping out the Asian ones will do the job

Have you had prolonged sun exposure whilst wearing the Skin Aqua and not burned or tanned? I'm still wary of trusting them completely (I've had some horrible sun burns in the past and am really paranoid of the sun)

'I'll be in my bunk....' 😜

Goretex is amazing, I have a Mountain Equipment coat for hiking, biking etc, I've had it over 15 years now and it's still going strong

It's great seeing water beading up and rolling off my goretex trainers after I've stood in a puddle

If you do get a coat I'd get a shell so you can layer it up in winter and still wear it in summer without, unless you live in Canada or Scandinavia. I'm in the UK, we don't get arctic weather unless you're up a mountain in Scotland in January

I have a few Rains of Denmark coats, they come i loads of colours and have a thin and rubberized coating, so while a bit of a sweatbox during hot weather they're perfect for inbetween 'not cold, but still not warm enough either'

Also a knirps fold up umbrella- small and light weight to put in a bag for those heavier downpours

And BOOTS!! never forget the boots! I'm still encased in Docs coated in plenty of dubbin, and wool socks from Bridgedale, keep you warm but not sweaty

It's surprisingly dry-ish here, but always likely to just go torrential at a moments notice

I think I've finally worked out how to apply sunscreen so it doesn't become a greasy slick on my face that inevitably finds it's way into my eyes

I read on labmuffin about using a cushion puff and it works, that plus a light dusting of corn flour on top and I no longer look like I'm coated in lard....Big whoop! Just in time for summer too 👍

Also what's everyone watching on TV?

I've just finished Apple, Cider, Vinegar on Netflix about cancer faker and scammer Belle Gibson, which was really good, and now I've started on The Last of Us season 2. I really love Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in this...... mmmm Pedro Pascal 😍
