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

Good morning from a very bright and sunny London. I'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... π #ThoughtsAndPrayers etc

πΈ Tonight's pre-dinner drink. I finally managed to get my hands on some of the peach flavoured -196 from Suntory and I'm happy to report that it's as delicious as I'd hoped! π Maybe even nicer than the lemon version. γγγ±γ #Suntory #Shochu #Vodka #Peach

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! βοΈ First run since the Pride 10k and it felt really good! ππΌββοΈ #running #RunningLondon #ThamesPath #Strava

Our last full day in Morelia today. Iβve planned as far as quesadillas for breakfast! π Tomorrow morning, we fly to Puerto Vallarta for the final few days of the trip. Itβs been really lovely here, but Iβm 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.

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, weβll definitely be taking it easy - itβs set to be 35C here today π₯΅ #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's somehow... soothing? Also: I'm going to stop moaning about how little storage our apartment has!!

Looks like a lovely morning out there. Once I've managed to fully reanimate my body, I'll be heading out for a run ππΌββοΈ Need to enjoy the sunshine before the forecast rain arrives - seeing as it's a Bank Holiday weekend π
