Me: *gets anxiety making a phone call* Also me: *feels completely at ease and downright cheerful wandering around unfamiliar city with only vague knowledge of how to get to where I’m going*

This year has been so full on, I've just withdrawn into nothingness and, to be honest, have been partially living in nostalgia. I'm just exhausted. Could do with a break.

i really admire the design for these stairs and how they incorporate a wheelchair access ramp. in a world were barrier free design is essential to living a full and happy life, its amazing to see landscape architect Cornelia Oberlander has taken literal steps to design stairs AROUND a ramp, instead of the other way around.

Singing in different languages:

English: just sing in a posh English accent

French: forget everything you know about French pronunciation

Italian: let's see how many syllables we can fit in one beat and the phrase will be twenty measures long you're not allowed to break off the sound because it'll sound pretty have fun trying to figure out where to breathe

German: I can totally fit all these letters in one syllable watch me

So, I’ve been pretty depressed lately. I’ve been exhausted and it’s just really hard to do anything. I got home tonight and a pot I’ve used to boil pasta in, that I just couldn’t bring myself to wash, has developed a delightful strain of pink mould. I’m not sure that’s a win…
