dear internet

you know what I love about the internet? well..I love that there seems to be an endless supply of good stuff. stuff to inspire you, and make you laugh.. or just make you feel connected to other people because maybe you realized that other people are just as weird as you are. 
It's funny, you hear people say things about how we connect less on a more "real" level with other people now, thanks to Facebook and the like... and I would have to agree with that, to an extent - but it's also opened up all these opportunities to connect in some small way with millions of people you'll never know on a personal level.. 
In some strange way it helps make the world seem a little less vast and human kind a little bit more likable...
I'm inspired and comforted in the knowledge that we can all experience a little bit of joy from watching a squishy faced cat eating a watermelon.

so thank you, internet for bringing things like this into my life.

ridiculously great things: 

oddly heartwarming things:

limbo california style

Some of you out there.. (Henry) may have noticed that I haven't blogged in a very long time. I guess it started to feel strange because for a little while I felt like I was living in limbo, and found even thinking about it overwhelming.. so the thought of writing on here was even more so. But life is less limbo-y now and I've been missing the old blogging thing so I guess I'm back.. at least for today!

 I like to think that this seagull was having very profound thoughts whilst gazing out at sea.

it's all happening.

 So.. I've been really absent on my blog lately and this is mainly because the past few months have been hectic and transitional. I had been thinking about making a change for awhile, and finally went for it... 

I've moved to California! 

I've spent the last 15 years living in England, so it's a big move but definitely a necessary one.  

I mean.. look at this view!
