I like...

Ooh, September has been a slim month blogwise. Did I mention that I was patting cats across Canada and the USA? Getting lost in secondhand bookshops? Burying my nose in flowers?

Yes. It's been a good month.

Anyway, time for some stuff I dig right now!

• Paw prints in set concrete (and bird prints are pretty sweet too).


• Using the Notes function on my phone. I use it for everything: places to check out in a new city, books to read, life goals, dinner recipes. Now that I've changed it from the default comic sans (ew), we have a very productive relationship.


• Capsicum (bell pepper) in sandwiches. It's crispy and tangy and delicious.


• Coloured pens. They're a bit juvenile I know, but I really like updating my diary with a purple gel pen or an emerald green erasable!


• Having the exact change for the bus. Bliss.

All picked in the lane behind my friend's house. Yum!

• Wild blackberries - but watch out for the prickles! The West Coast was insane for these. YUM!


• The rich, green aroma of forests. Breathe deep.

Right near Beaver Lake in Vancouver.



• Reorganizing the apps on my phone. It feels oddly fresh.


• Related: the app from xe.com (currency exchange) - how did it take me this long (and so many countries) to download it? It works offline!


• Vancouver radio station, The Peak. I hope I can stream it when back home!


• And finally, trying new podcasts. I'm really enjoying Welcome to Night Vale. Perfect for when I want a bit of human company but am too shy to talk to anyone whilst travelling.
