I’ve realised something about the way I experience life, and I’m curious whether anyone else relates. Sometimes I struggle to enjoy ordinary moments unless they feel like they’re part of a film. It’s not enough just to go for a walk: my brain starts looking for the right weather, the right light, the right music in my earphones, the right streets or buildings, almost trying to create a scene rather than simply experience it. I’ve also noticed that I often enjoy places, my time with people, walks and evenings much more when I look back on them than I did while I was actually there. In the moment, I’m so focused on whether the experience feels cinematic enough and whether it’s becoming meaningful that I miss the fact that it might already be. I’m starting to wonder whether I’ve been trying to experience life as an atmospheric scene before I’ve allowed it to become a memory; judging whether a moment feels memorable while I’m still living it. I also wonder how much films, social media and carefully curated images of life have shaped my expectations from early childhood. Maybe they’ve made me expect meaningful moments to feel extraordinary as they happen, when in reality many of the most meaningful moments only reveal themselves with time. And sometimes those expectations become so high that they stop me from doing things in the first place, because I’m worried the experience won’t live up to the scene I’ve already created in my head. Does anyone else experience this? Or have you noticed yourself getting caught up in trying to create the feeling of a moment instead of just being in it?

Right, now politely f🤬 off 🤣 [Part 3]

GM GM! = Good Morning Greater Manchester 🌦️❤️
A row of Victorian terraced houses is pictured at dusk, with a dark blue sky overhead. One window in the middle of the row is brightly lit, suggesting occupancy.
This here is Victorian Northern Gothic maxed out. Now I just need to calm myself down, bless me. 😱
A wide shot shows the historic Victoria Mill in Bury, Greater Manchester, under a clear blue sky. The brick industrial building features a tall, red brick chimney on the left and a clock tower on the right, with trees in the foreground and background

I think we’re beyond the light jacket ☀️😎
A lone figure stands in the middle of a street lined with traditional brick terrace houses, facing away from the camera. The warm glow of a sunset illuminates the sky, casting long shadows down the road.
Northern terraces and stories they hold.

Just fluffy-faced me, ready for another day trip 🎒 #tbt

A red brick house with white trim and windows is shown under a cloudy sky. A white front door with glass panels is visible, along with a small garden area in front.
3 years ago today…❤️🥰 In spring 2023, packed two suitcases and moved countries and to a Northern town I’d never visited before… Without wanting to sound big headed - I’m freaking proud of myself for going for what I wanted 🥹 No regrets!
A man takes a selfie in a dark cardigan, white collared shirt, and striped tie. He is wearing striped boxers and has a mustache and beard.
Testing out the “on-brand” work gear for tomorrow’s big event ✌️ Who doesn’t love Saturday work?!

8°C that apparently feels like -1°C. Beanie season is back. Need I say more?
A dark, moody shot of a residential street at night. Houses with illuminated windows line the street, under a cloudy sky.
Friday evening chill 😌
A tranquil canal flows through a residential area with rows of houses lining the bank. A lone duck swims in the water, leaving ripples behind it under an overcast sky.
A man with a beard and nose ring takes a selfie in front of a tall tower surrounded by trees.
Spent the last day of 32 on a day trip to West Yorkshire, standing tall with Wainhouse Tower. On to the next chapter 😊
A portrait of a man in profile, looking off to the side. He has dark hair, a beard, and multiple piercings.
Every time I come back to Hungary, I unlock another completely random childhood memory. If you grew up in ’90s rural Eastern Europe, you might remember this. Before most families had a landline, our housing estate had a single public phone box. As kids, our parents didn’t allow us to use the family phone cards, so we’d spend ages dialling random numbers, hoping we’d accidentally stumble across one that was free to call. If someone answered, we’d pretend we’d reached directory enquiries and ask complete nonsense. One day an actual telephone operator picked up. Little me panicked and asked: “Am I allowed to just drop dead?” Without even a pause, in the most unbothered voice imaginable, she replied: “Be my guest.” Then hung up. I’ve never recovered from the excitement I’d felt then and the efficiency of that conversation. That phone operator had clearly reached the “I’ve heard everything” stage of her career. I wonder where she might be today, bless her soul 🤣
A graphic displays 'Budapest' with the Hungarian flag, indicating a 6-day visit from August 2nd to August 7th, with an airplane icon signifying travel.
Travel update: after surviving two surreal months successfully keeping my job amidst redundancies, and ageing approximately seven years in the process - I’m off to Hungary to see friends and family. 🇭🇺 Normal service (and hopefully my blood pressure) will resume shortly. ✌️
A full English breakfast is served on a teal plate, featuring scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, black pudding, baked beans, mushrooms, a hash brown, and two slices of toast. Two small pats of butter are placed on the side.
Thought I’d spare everyone another thirst trap. Here’s my birthday fry-up from March instead. Enjoy ✌️
Not one but TWO! Although I’m pissed off, I have to give them that they still know how to queue 🤷🏻‍♂️🇬🇧 #blackcatconveyorbelt [Part 2]
A close-up shot focuses on a person's legs and feet, showcasing bright green high-top Converse sneakers. The person is wearing black shorts and a patterned shirt, with visible leg hair.
Oh, hello! I haven’t worn you for about ten years. 🥹 💚 #Converse
Went out for a wholesome little day trip and, unsurprisingly, came back with another piercing in a location not currently visible to the general public 😂 Think the dopamine and adrenaline spike also convinced me that a round trip across East Lancashire was a perfectly reasonable idea for a Sunday afternoon 🤣
A man wearing glasses and a dark hoodie poses for a selfie outdoors. He has a beard and stubble, and the background shows houses and a brick wall.
No contact(s) day ✌️
A sunny day illuminates a canal lock with a tall brick chimney and an industrial building in the background. The brick wall surrounding the lock is covered in ivy, adding a touch of nature to the historic scene.
A man stands in front of a closed charity shop with his arms at his sides. The shop has a large metal shutter and a sign that reads "ExtraCare. Giving older people a new lease of life."
Shop’s shut… so I’m assuming Charity Shop Sue is on her break 🤷🏻‍♂️ | Bulwell, Nottinghamshire
This is an album cover for Lane 8's 'Rise'. It features a surreal, mirrored image of a lush green mountain range reflected in calm water. The overall aesthetic is dreamlike and artistic.
3 weeks in and this song is still living rent free in my head… send help 😩 (also, please don’t? 🤭)
A two-panel meme featuring two women. The top panel shows one woman speaking, with text overlay saying 'Me:'. The bottom panel shows the other woman with a confused expression, with text overlay saying 'I think he might be happy.' The meme's caption
🤷🏻‍♂️😁
As part of my job, I love finally meeting my trainees in person after months on Teams calls - especially when they say, “I didn’t realise on Teams you were THAT tall 😧😧” Never gets old 🤣
A dramatic shot of a row of brick terrace houses under a dark, stormy sky filled with ominous clouds. Power lines crisscross the frame, adding to the dramatic and slightly unsettling atmosphere.
A mural on the side of a building features a portrait of a woman with short, blonde hair and blue eyes. She is looking directly at the viewer with a slight smile. White text above her reads, "I'M GOING NORTH. IT'S A COMPULSION WITH ME."

I’ve matched with some great people here, but moving from a ‘match’ to a real-life friendship is harder than it looks! For those who’ve made it work: what’s your secret recipe for moving past the small talk? I’d love to hear your approach. 🙌
A screenshot of a social media profile for someone named Williams, who claims to be a FedEx agent. The profile states they love delivering packages and are friendly, but the post caption warns of a fake profile and scam alert.
Watch out ⚠️ Fake profile/scam alert
A dark, nighttime street scene shows silhouetted houses with a few lit windows. A street light illuminates the cloudy sky above.

A tranquil canal reflects the twilight sky and bare trees in front of a row of houses. The scene captures the quiet beauty of a suburban evening.
