The past few months I've been eating so healthy, but this weekend I decided to have a bit of a break and I did some baking. I made double chocolate brownies, fudge sauce and strawberry cupcakes before I went to go see Vision of Trees at Nation of Shopkeepers. My friend took some photos on her Olympus Trip 35, so I'm looking forward to seeing them. But for now I'll be going to collect my developed film from Manchester.

So I've made a playlist for autumn, I never normally blog about music but I think this is a good representation of my music taste. If you're interested in listening to it on Spotify then click here.

These were taken last year, so much has changed since then and I've recently realised how neglected my analogue cameras have become, I used to take a weekly trip into town to get a roll of film developed and now I'm become adjusted to the easier option of digital. So, earlier this week on a day trip to Manchester, for lack of 35mm film, I settled with a disposable camera and this afternoon I'm going to wander into town as I used to and pop into the familiar developing shop.

Recently studied, A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès, 1902.

I feel all I have been doing recently is procrastinating. Pondering how wonderful I'm going to make my house look with fresh paint and antique furnishings, how much time and effort I'm going to put into the films I'm directing, yet I find myself retreating beneath the duvet as soon as I arrive home, a green tea in hand, current read in the other, before drifting off. I'm making efforts to be healthier, hoping this will help me feel as motivated as I did not long ago. I want my hair to grow, I want my legs to shrink. I know these wishes are self indulgent, some only wish to recover from a serious illness, but I do not and my petty wishes seem relevant in my procrastinating mind.
