I love how my hairdresser reacts when I walk in the door for a much needed haircut 💇🏼‍♀️ My awesomeness needed a tidy up… Literally #ReframingFacialDifference this time around! ❤️☕️🔔💪🇦🇺
Had the best night at a 21st birthday party… 😎😁🎉 I still haven’t shown her the picture of her Dad and I (and others) in our first year of high school when we were a lot younger than she is now ❤️☕️🏫 #ReframingFacialDifference
Today I’m prepping for another podcast interview. I’m looking forward to it, they have a very professional producer. They wanted to talk about just me but I said I’m a Linguist and there’s so much to talk about around language and they agreed that that sounds better #ReframingFacialDifference
I’m enjoying an excellent coffee in a cafe after spending a lot of time at my desk at home - latte on oat (because I have problems with dairy) #ReframingFacialDifference -Non-eye-contact edition… Would love some feedback about whether this works for people… Have a great day! ❤️☕️🔔💪
Just discovered that a YouTuber I’ve been following for years is a full on climate change denier. They’ve never done a video on it before and their argument is pathetic and even I can debunk it. Don’t ask who they are and I’ve unsubscribed. I’m actually really disappointed. #ReframingFacialDifference will return soon but I’m preparing for my course that starts soon. Thanks for listening, I’m actually devo… 🥲❤️☕️🔔💪
#ReframingFacialDifference #Christmas 2022 Edition: Christmas was awesome… Didn’t go anywhere, only cooked baked vegetables and got the ham out of the fridge for lunch, drank fizzy apple juice, watched too many non-Christmas YouTube videos, managed to avoid Christmas music where I shopped and bought five new A4 grid notebooks on sale for the Software Engineering #coding course in February… The Fellow (my flatmate) and I decided to buy our own presents and it worked really well, slept like a Yule log… ❤️☕️🔔💪🎄
In other news 😁: Taxi driver on rank at railway station says ‘Morning young man!’ to me as a greeting, and I say thanks because I’m a middle aged woman who looks like a hipster young man… Seriously #ReframingFacialDifference 😅😁❤️☕️🔔💪
