Dear friends,
My July has been somewhat mixed, and I have been trying to make the most of not having much work on. Things are looking better at the end of the month than they were at the start (spoiler alert, I guess), but if anyone has any tips for helping me grow to love this terrible gremlin (Jessie the dog) I now share my life with, I’m all ears. (Genuinely — she is a sweetgorl and I want to make it work).
You can read my monthly blog here! http://emmacharleston.blogspot.com/2024/07/july-2024.html

And my monthly radio show is here: https://www.mixcloud.com/emma-charleston/audient-august-2024/
I have just started making a zine about my Capital Ring walks. I am not sure how much widespread appeal it will have, but it’s nice to get my teeth into a new project that is just for me (during this rare period of time where I actually have the hours in the day!)
I hope all’s well with you, whatever you’re up to this summer.

Dear friends,
Bit of a belated newsletter this month, with apologies!
My blog for the month is here: http://emmacharleston.blogspot.com/2024/06/june-2024.html

As you might be able to tell, I am in a bit of a funk and struggling to get out of it, and my usual cures (going out and spending money) aren't really viable right now because dog needs me and I am broke. So any tips for cheap mood-boosters for home would be much appreciated (New recipes maybe? Video game recommendations for Switch? Or anything free/cheap to do centrally?)
Music always helps, of course, and my monthly podcast is here: https://www.mixcloud.com/emma-charleston/audient-july-2024/
Another mood booster, as mentioned, would be more work, because that leads to more money. Any tips or leads for freelance gigs much appreciated at the moment. I am stopping short of a more desperate public callout YET but please do keep ears open for any opportunities that might be a good fit for me.
Hope all is well with all of you, and hoping we get more than the one or two days of sunshine we’ve had so far, I desperately need that mood boost, at least!
Grey, drizzly warmth to all of you,
[cid:a94bd28f-5db8-4e23-b4a6-e4b901319790@EURP250.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM]
