hello! i'm lizzie. i don't know how you ended up here, but welcome to my little blog. i love reading, studying, crochet, and listening to arctic monkeys. i m...
i love orange juice. i don't drink coffee in the evenings/late afternoons, so orange juice is an alternative for me. although i will say that i like pure orange juice, without the added sugar. orange juice has enough naturally occurring sugar as it is!
(this is a bit of a break from what i usually post about but it was something that just came to mind, so here you go.) i'm not from america, and i do feel like whatever i've heard about the tipping system over there is not right. i would tip whenever i feel like the person serving me has really gone into it- really made an effort to do their job wholeheartedly. but i do think this is something…
after being spoilt with 'the woman in white', which was a delightful and long book, i was apparently craving another long classic. i knew this because that's all i could think about while trying to get through a dystopian novel (which i stopped reading a few chapters in). the lizzie of the past may have pushed through, or put the classic books to the bottom of the books she wanted to read. the…
i went to a plant workshop organised by a local community, and they invited a few people to give small presentations. the first one was talking about composting- and how it's something he has been doing for close to 20 years. he explained all the science related to composting, and some things that he picked up while doing it for so long. the other presenter called herself a 'citrus alchemist'. she…
i'm still on chapter one, but i've got this feeling that i'm going to adore this one. i love the characters and just the writing style in general. here's a little passage, the book is in the public domain and is available on gutenberg if you're interested! Yet so it was. If I had not dived for Professor Pesca when he lay under water on his shingle bed, I should in all human probability never have…
there needs to be a distinction between overrated and overplayed. just because something is overplayed, it doesn't necessarily mean it's overrated. i'm a huge fan of arctic monkeys. one of their songs, 505, 'blew up' on tiktok a while ago, and featured on random tiktok videos- essentially becoming a tiktok song. and while i do think it is overplayed , is most certainly isn't overrated. it's a…
just a quick appreciation post for this game i play called 'kuma sushi bar'. you make sushi, serve customers, and decorate your shop. it's cute and very low effort, perfect for when i don't have the energy for something intense! definitely give it a go if you like cosy and light games ≽ •⩊• ≼ link to dev's page on the game
i have a fair amount of hobbies. reading, crochet and listening to music are the main ones. but i also like playing cosy games, sudoku, making stuff out of clay, wax sealing, solo card games, and writing over here. this is all good. the issue, however, is that i rarely have the time to do all these things. this used to be because i was doom scrolling instead of engaging with my hobbies- and just…
on your blog go to 'themes' (on your blog's dashboard) scroll down to 'edit theme css' for light/dark mode (based on user's device settings) : change @media (prefers-color-scheme: light ) to @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark ) for light mode (regardless of user's device settings) : remove the entire @media prefers block (don't forget the two brackets '}}' at the end) for dark mode (regardless of…
i moved from a fairly quiet neighbourhood into an apartment in the city recently. one of the biggest and first things i noticed was the view from my window. in my old place, i saw a lamp post and a couple of trees. over here however, opening the curtains at night means a totally different view. i see tall buildings with flashy lights- and cars. lots and lots of cars. there's a billboard which is…
