Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about

I spent yesterday in Liverpool, which gets a bad rap but it's actually one of my favourite cities. I first went back in 2017 (I think?) for Beatles Week and did all of the expected Beatle-y things that go with that like the museum and the Magical Mystery Tour, and ever since I've enjoyed just going for the day now and then. I used to get the train, but since I moved I realised it's both easier and a lot cheaper to drive and it's made it a lot more accessible for me which feels exciting. I last went back in November, but I've been sick for most of 2025 so far and have barely done anything and was getting itchy feet, so I decided to go again and just vibe in the city centre doing nothing in particular as it's fairly low energy whilst still having a proper day out. Sometimes it's nice to just get dressed up and travel somewhere different from the usual to take in the atmosphere, people watch, draw by the River Mersey, etc.

For the Year of the Snake.

While I was there I also managed to get the two new Jellycats I've been wanting that have only just been released! I already had the plushie storm cloud, now I also have the bag and keychain (which needs a perm!) I'm especially pleased as I recently got Angelic Pretty's Misty Sky JSK and I think they'll go together really perfectly! I love being able to get things for my collections on my travels, as it then gives those items more meaning to me.
