Still one of my favourite games of all time - I know what I’m going to play tonight now!

Behold my first wonky harvest of the year - stubby courgette, six potatoes and an extremely tiny onion.
Fully embracing my impending 40th year transformation into a woodland witch by foraging everything and turning it into cordials, pickles and jams
I don’t like that my silly little veg growing and foraging hobbies are feeling more and more like necessary life skills these days
My New Year’s resolution this year was to safely identify and forage a mushroom and eat it. I finally got my chance this weekend with this gorgeous St George’s mushroom and oh my word it was the tastiest mushroom I’ve ever eaten!
Finally! I basically spent the last 10 days waiting for ONE Pokemon to get this. I think this is the first time I’ve completed a Pokédex since Red/Blue
…. Oops. The Animal Crossing total is over the course of six years. Pokopia is over five weeks 😅
Managed to find a sparkly Lindt bunny for £2.70. I’m never going to top this high
More than two nice days in a row means it’s plant buying season and time to pretend I know what I’m doing when it comes to gardening
Last night I dreamt that PCGamer had a pancake day issue and that the pages for a feature I wrote were all made of pancakes. Maybe that’s the future for magazines
Still find it mad that I grew up with these games and now this is my view when I play Pokemon
Pokopia looks so much like Dragon Quest Builders. I can’t wait, it’s so perfectly my jam
I’ve really enjoyed 2025. I got to go get on a few trips and did some work I’m really proud of. I also picked up some fun new hobbies and got more involved in my local community. I’m looking forward to more of the same for 2026!

Quite excited for Octopath Traveller 0. I’m a big fan of RPGs with town building elements!
Went to Longleat yesterday and met this sweet little….OH NO
I may have a bit of a thing for post-themed Christmas decorations
Pulled the amazing Vivi art card yesterday. He may be banned from the game but he’ll never be banned from my heart 🥲
Today’s unexpected parenting conundrum: “Why is there a pretzel in your armpit?”
Need some help in the busy months before Christmas? I have freelance availability! I can help you with features, interviews, gift lists, reviews and mock reviews!
Kiddo has really gotten into Animal Crossing this year and has her own house on my Island etc… She’s filling it with junk all over the place, but I can live with that. HOWEVER, she cut down my orchard and now I’m struggling to fight the urge to fix it all!
I need to turn this into a tiny K-pop Demon Hunter costume by Friday. Pray for me!
