heya, hope you’re well :) I had a rest day today, slept in ‘till about 11am and then had some breakfast and got ready. Did some light weeding in the garden after that. The rest of the day I spent relaxing in my room, which was nice.
Also, the instrumental for ‘Emma’ came out on YouTube! I love how atmospheric this song is, there’s so many different bird calls and other sounds of the garden in it. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3
lots of love,

heya, hope you’re well :) I spent the day out today. Went to see my Nonna for lunch and her place is a lil far from mine, so I made a day out of it. The weather was gorgeous, and the walk was lovely.
I saw so many pretty flowers on my way there. I’ll leave a picture below of some bougainvillea blooms I thought were stunning. The catch-up was wonderful, and I had a yummy lunch too.
A very peaceful, beautiful kind of day. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

P.S. This lil bug hitched a ride on my sleeve for the majority of my walk, so cute! I almost cried, it was adorable.

heya, hope you’re well :) had a more relaxed day today. I slept in until 11am and had breakfast sitting in the sun with Prue, which was really nice! I had yummy cereal with grapes, honey, walnuts, and dried apricots.
In the afternoon I took Prue out for a walk and listened to ‘Kid Krow’ on my record player, which I hadn’t done in a while. That album got me through 2019 + 2020, so it was nice to give it a spin.
Also, the slowed + reverb version on ‘Irish Breakfast’ came out on Soundcloud! As always, downloads are on and I’ve included a lil extra context of the song in the description :) Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

P.S. Here’s a cute pic of the Hoya I got a few weeks ago looking gorgeous in the sunset sky. It’s doing well btw! 🌿

heya, hope you’re well :) Had a more relaxed day today. I had a sleep in and got up at around 10am, which felt lovely. The morning I spent eating breakfast on the couch with Prue and getting ready.
In the afternoon I made a short lyric clip of ‘The Fear of Falling In Love’ to post to my socials, and watered some indoor plants as well. We had some nice jazz records on too, which was perfect for the overcast weather. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) Had a rlly busy day today. I woke up around 9am to get ready to go to a friend’s place. I didn’t have to leave until around noon but needed to get ready and put together a small cactus in a pot for a gift, which turned out quite cute.
On the way there we played ‘Found Heaven’, which I’m loving at the moment. It took a second to adjust the change in production, but it’s really grown on me. My fav tracks currently are: Found Heaven, Miss You, Fainted Love; but they’re all rlly good.
Also! The slowed + reverb version of ‘The Fear of Falling In Love’ came out on YouTube, which I’ll put below. I love how thiccc the bass is in this song, it really brings forth the ominous vibes haha. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) I started to produce my next body of work (after the surprise that’s coming soon hehe) today! It’s going to be sonically a lot more gritty than ‘elsewhere’.
Lots of cold, intense sounds with space to breathe; kinda like it’s playing in an empty warehouse or something. The sound of this first song (which will also be the first in the track order), is really cool, very unlike anything I’ve done recently.
If you want a reference for what the sound of this body of work will be close too, check out ‘alloftheothers’ - my first EP :) It’ll be similar to that but a little darker honestly. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3
lots of love,

heya, hope you’re well :) I had a nice day today. Got up early as my mattress was set for delivery at around 10-11am, so I had breakfast and waited in anticipation for its arrival. Thankfully it arrived on time, so we were able to set it up by the end of the morning.
I had a nice lunch outside after that. It was oddly warm for mid-late April, so I enjoyed some time in the sun with Prue. I worked on some music stuff later in the afternoon, and did some gardening closer to the evening.
Also, a few days ago I noticed some mushrooms had popped up in the garden! It’s lovely seeing the change in seasons, and mushrooms are so magical. I’ll throw some pics below. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) I had a more relaxed day today. There was gorgeous weather out so I ate breakfast outside after putting all the indoor plants back in their spots.
I got ready after that and edited a few of my music profiles in the courtyard. Also, the instrumental for ‘Batman & The Wizard’ came out on YouTube! I’ll throw the link below.
I’ve been writing heaps of songs recently, some of which are on my notes app. I love to handwrite everything in my diary though, that way there’s a physical version that exists, so I’ll transcribe a few of them after this. Other than that it’s gonna be a chill night for me. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) today was a more relaxed day for me. I woke up at 11am after a really good sleep and had some breakfast outside with Prue. It was nice and fresh but the sun was warm, so I got ready and took her out for a walk after that.
Upon getting home I had some lunch and spent the majority of the afternoon watering all the houseplants, which was lovely. A few of them are growing more now that we’re using the heater in the mornings, they kinda have an inverse growing season!
I also uploaded the slowed + reverb version of ‘Emma’ to SoundCloud! Direct downloads are on if you wanna save them to your devices :) Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) had a nice day today. I went on a long walk on a trail up a small mountain with my sister. I know that’s a lil confusing lol, there is “Mt” in this place’s name but the difficulty wasn’t too hard.
The scenery was so gorgeous, there was a winding river that we crossed and followed which you could hear rushing from afar. So many trees and even cool mosses, which I’ll attach a pic of.
I got back home later in the afternoon and have been listening to music (Melodrama, Found Heaven) and making dinner since. Just finished up now, I had some yummy pasta with a bunch of stuff on it. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

P.S. Yes! That green stuff on the ground is all moss! So cool.

heya, hope you’re well :) I went out to the shops today to look around in my local bookstore. I hadn’t been in a while so it was lovely to be back in my element.
I meandered throughout the store for a while. Went to the classics section, then to science, then to gardening, and to comics too, but I ended up settling with a 2024 guide to the night sky.
These guides are great for stargazing ‘cause they include maps of the night sky for each month, and important astronomy events (meteors, moon phases, planet positions etc) and how/when to see them. I’ve found them really helpful. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) I slept in today, waking up at 11am, which I think my body needed. It’s getting cooler in the mornings so I had my breakfast inside with Prue.
After getting ready I went with my mum to go mattress shopping, which I had never done before! It was a good time, and I chose a really comfy mattress that I’m looking forward to sleeping on haha. We had coffee and lunch afterwards and headed back home.
The slowed + reverb version of ‘Antares (Interlude)’ came out on my YouTube channel, which I’ll link below! This interlude includes a “forgotten” verse that I left out of one of my earliest songs ‘i said i love you on a friday’, which I’ll also chuck below :)
I always loved the verse but couldn’t fit it into the final song, so I’m really happy that it’s finally seeing the light of day. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) Had a relaxed day today. Spent the morning mainly having brekkie and walking Prue ‘cause I let myself sleep in till 10:30ish.
I watched some videos in my ‘Watch Later’ playlist on YouTube with the intention of clearing some of them out lol. I think the playlist is over 500 vids long, but small steps are still steps haha.
In the afternoon I added closed captions to my ‘mirrorme.’ music video. This took a while as it’s a longer song and I wanted to get the timing of the captions in line with the editing of the vid. Turned out great tho! Just had some soup with beef-stuffed ravioli for dinner, which was yum! Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) Today it was lovely outside so I spent a lot of time in the garden. There were some Aeonium plants that snapped in the wind and rain a week or so ago, so I cleaned them up and planted them in some soil.
They’ll develop some roots over the next month, I’ll keep an eye on them and see how they go. In the afternoon I added closed captions to my ‘Never Existed’ music video so the lyrics are synced up with the audio now, which is awesome. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) it was beautiful day out today so I did a mixture of work and relaxing. I woke up early-ish and took Prue out for a walk, which was nice. I also checked out the garden and did a lil weeding as a bunch of seedlings had popped up from the rain we’ve had.
The instrumental for ‘Lost & Found (333)’ came out on YouTube! I’ll link it below 💕 I also transferred all of the ‘elsewhere’ files off of my computer to get ready for the next era. The total folder size clocked in at a lil over 10GB!
Gonna have a chill night and head to bed early, maybe after a hot chocolate. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) Had a nice day today. I woke up early to go to my grandparents’ house for lunch. It was nice and cool so the trip there was lovely.
Plus, I visited one of my favourite plant shops and scored a pretty Hoya shepherdii. The plant tag just said “Hoya species” and I know it’s not carnosa, so I did a lil research and it looks closest to shepherdii.
If someone knows what species it is pls let me know! I know there are some massive Hoya enthusiasts on this site, and y’all know your shit, so hit me up! I’ll throw some pics below 🌿 Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

heya, hope you’re well :) Happy page 150 of the diary! Can’t believe it’s already been 150 days since I started this blog. Thank you all for the love you’ve given along the way 💕
I did a mixture of things today - took Prue out for a walk, spent some time in the garden, edited a bunch of stuff on SoundCloud. Oh! and I uploaded the slowed + reverb version of ‘Batman & The Wizard’ to SoundCloud too.
I included a bit of info about the song in the description. I’m loving being able to put the backstory of my songs in these uploads. It’s something you can’t do on Spotify etc, but is such an important part of the songwriting and production process. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3
lots of love,
elle xoxo
