keep yourself warm

Sarah 🧿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I left Scotland in 2019 to see the world and I returned in 2024. This is what happened next.

Pacha for the Solumun +1 Opening Party on Sunday was insane! What a crazy night. The sound in that club was like anything I’ve ever heard before, it just made me want to keep dancing. It felt like a dream. Met so many people and danced for hours and hours. Solomun came on at 2 and played through until after 8am, and I was still dancing! When my work colleagues ask me about Ibiza, I think I’ll be leaving that bit out lol.

I had sort of plans to go to Pikes on Monday, but getting home at 9am made me a little tired to say the least. Had some beers with my fellow solo travellers by the pool and made an attempt to go out, but ended up coming back and falling asleep. Probs for the best tbh. I caught my flight out at 1pm the next day and couldn’t get home fast enough, Ibiza Airport was very hot, involved a lot of standing about and everything was insanely expensive. I paid €16 for a fresh orange juice, protein shake and crisps 😭.

Back to work tomorrow! I see someone sent me an ask about the Dutch boy, rest assured I am not ignoring you x

Went to a pool party last night, except the pool got created in the club midway through the night with fountain jets. How ridiculous!! Who thinks of these things? Anyway I had a nice time and ate a falafel afterwards. Now I’m having a slow day before deciding whether I want to go to Pacha or Pikes tonight.

Said goodbye to the Dutch boy as he had to fly back to the Netherlands. Felt weirdly emotional!! Not sure why!! Maybe it’s the transient nature of these fleeting connections that make me feel alive in the moment, then they are over. My glands and throat have also been a little sore, which doesn’t help. Too much pool party perhaps. But so we soldier on!

Completely forgetting to update as I’m having the most amazing time! Flight over was basically a bar in the sky and I had loud, farty lads behind me, but I shook them off before the airport bus to the town I’m staying in.

The accommodation is super chill and I’ve met some cool people! I went downstairs and was approached by an American guy who invited me to a beach club with him and his friends. I didn’t know if it would really be my thing, but the vibes were unreal! Tune after tune, everyone being gorgeous. people hoisted up on cranes doing all these silly acrobatics, men buying my drinks and unexpected hookup with a Dutch man several years my junior (classic).

Haven’t been to any of the clubs yet apart from the day parties as tbh nothing was really jumping out at me during the week. It’s fine though as I don’t want to be going out every night if I don’t need to be as club entry, drinks prices and taxis would bankrupt me if I was doing it every night. I think tonight I’ll join a bike tour and watch the sunset with the group from my accommodation, but not before I join the Dutch man for a swim this afternoon 💅🏻

I’m on the bus to the airport! It’s 22 degrees outside, I’m whizzing past green countryside and Bob’s Marley’s Sun is Shining (Extended club mix!) just came on shuffle. I have a spray tan and my nails are a burnt orange. My bags are stuffed to the brim and I have my Doc Martens on my feet, because I read that the girlies wear boots out. It’s going to be a fun 8 days 🐬🌴☀️🍹

It’s Ibiza eve and my bed is currently a mess of toiletries and packing cubes. I’m also aware it’s 11:30.

Finally off work until 4 June! It was a long week of getting everything sorted for my time off during a very busy time in the calendar, but we got there! I had drinks in St Andrews after we finished as a colleague was finishing up their last day with us. First time having drinks after work with the team actually, it’s not really much of a thing since St Andrews is in the middle of nowhere and people drive in from all over as no one actually lives there.

I was rough this morning when I woke up (at 6 mind as I didn’t put my sleep mask on and it was broad daylight) so I forced myself to sleep longer until I didn’t feel nauseous. I even managed to make the gym later, which is a first for being rough so I’m proud of myself for going.

As for now, the packing and sorting of outfits for Ibiza has started. My accommodation money came out of my account and I’ve checked in for my flight. I’m so excited and mildly terrified! Who knows what’s in store for me from Monday onwards.

Started attempting to do 10k steps in a day while listening to my audiobooks. Not as mental and unachievable as I thought it would be?? I’ve started using what I do in the gym to go towards it too. Now comes the part where I do it consistently forever, I believe in me 🙃

Forgot about the lashes and rubber them off in the shower 🫠 but not entirely terrible for a first attempt. I just have to just remember to not forget everything!!!

why does it take SO much energy to keep your house only sort of clean

Weekend mini glow up yeeahhh. Had my roots touched up so no more darker regrowth and “natural highlights”. I also bought myself pre-glued Tatti Lashes that are meant to last 5-10 days, so impressed and these are just two of the littlest ones! You insert them underneath your lashes and you’re immediately good to go. Thrilled!

My tinnitus is getting worse urgh. I could hear it at work today when usually it would only affect me at night and I had the white noise on to drown it out. It gets louder when I clench my teeth or move my head from side to side so I’m actually hoping it’s jaw related so it hopefully be treated. Waiting on a referral to audiology atm so fingers crossed!!

[cascabelle]

Relatives coming over wasn’t actually bad tbh. Nobody talked about politics and it was all pleasant and surface level, which is what you need really a lot of the time. The takeaway was also really tasty and such a treat for a weeknight. I also had to write out instructions on a piece of paper for my uncle’s wife on how to post a photo on Instagram, what the differences between posts and stories were, and what not to do. An often requested tutorial from the bookers in my life.

It’s getting to that time of the year where you’re going to bed and the sun hasn’t gone down. Next month the sun will be up at 4am. Does anyone else actually lowkey struggle with there not being enough night and staying asleep unless sleep mask/blackout curtains?
