    Managed 6.5km in the morning sunshine. Absolutely perfect weather for a run. #Running πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

    New backpack has arrived in the post.... and it&#39;s a keeper! Absolutely gorgeous and perfect for my needs. πŸŽ’ After selling a few unused/unloved bags on eBay, I&#39;m down to one backpack for work, one for travel. (In my world, that positively minimalist!) And no prizes for guessing it&#39;s from Bellroy. Best bags I&#39;ve ever bought.

    Good morning from a very bright and sunny London. I&#39;ve been up for a couple of hours already, doing chores and drinking coffee. Today is when I unpack my winter clothes from vacuum bags and put away everything with short sleeves... πŸ˜” #ThoughtsAndPrayers etc

    I don&#39;t drive, I don&#39;t have a car, and I have no plans of ever owning a car. But I have fallen in love with this! 😍 https://youtu.be/kIJ4JaUui-k?si=KU4qCGmiIpq3TLQx

    πŸ“Έ It took all day, but eventually the clouds cleared and the sun made an appearance. A nice end to a very gloomy day. Autumn is definitely seeping in... #London #LondonLife #RiverThames #TheShard #HighriseLife #Sunset #LondonSkyline #BlueSkies

    πŸ“Έ Tonight&#39;s pre-dinner drink. I finally managed to get my hands on some of the peach flavoured -196 from Suntory and I&#39;m happy to report that it&#39;s as delicious as I&#39;d hoped! πŸ‘ Maybe even nicer than the lemon version. かんぱい #Suntory #Shochu #Vodka #Peach

    Drinking coffee in bed and preparing myself mentally for a run outside. Looks sunny, but I may need to layer up! πŸ₯Ά

    Managed 6.44km this morning and it was very comfortable. Fairly consistent pace. But most of all, the sunshine was beautiful and powered me along! β˜€οΈ First run since the Pride 10k and it felt really good! πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ #running #RunningLondon #ThamesPath #Strava

    Our last full day in Morelia today. I’ve planned as far as quesadillas for breakfast! 😜 Tomorrow morning, we fly to Puerto Vallarta for the final few days of the trip. It’s been really lovely here, but I’m definitely ready for a new locale and some new sights. Including the beach and sea!! #Morelia #Mexico #Travel

    Ah... Just read that Dolly Parton has died. Very sad news, but what a life! Music aside, her legacy of charity and literacy promotion will live on.

    Sunshine, a swim-up pool bar, and an ice cold beer. Heaven is a place called Puerto Vallarta. A super change of pace after lots of running around! #PuertoVallarta #Mexico #Travel

    Feeling ever so slightly fragile this morning, after a very late night. But it was great fun - totally worth it. Only thing on the agenda today is an afternoon tea we booked over near Tokyo station. Apart from that, we’ll definitely be taking it easy - it’s set to be 35C here today πŸ₯΅ #tokyo #MacPsychInJapan

    Morning. Still in bed, enjoying coffee number two and being sucked into YouTube videos about how Japanese Gen Z peeps organise their tiny apartments in Tokyo. It&#39;s somehow... soothing? Also: I&#39;m going to stop moaning about how little storage our apartment has!!

    Alright. That’s enough YouTube. Time for the #gym πŸ’ͺ🏻

    Busy on travel planning, researching and excitement. Trying to make a layover in #Helsinki a little longer, so I can enjoy the city for a day before flying on to Tokyo. ✈️ #TravelPlanning

    Looks like a lovely morning out there. Once I&#39;ve managed to fully reanimate my body, I&#39;ll be heading out for a run πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ Need to enjoy the sunshine before the forecast rain arrives - seeing as it&#39;s a Bank Holiday weekend 😭
