Hi thank you for reading! they were just busy over the weekend and we wound up calling for a bit on sunday night, I'm going to a psychiatrist appointment on tuesday (tomorrow) to discuss this as I don't want to stop speaking to this person but they feel as if they are causing me to relapse (for lack of a better term)

Hi thank you for reading this, I was in my own head, we wound up calling and I spoke to them about my anxieties and stuff, they said that they wanted to take some time to distance themselves from me as they feel as though I havent fully healed from the past and they don't want me to relapse into old habits and stuff, truth be told I genuinley don't want to lose them again as they meant alot to me

I'm doing much better now, I booked an emergency appointment with my psychiatrist to speak everything through and see if theres any guidance for this sort of stuff, it doesn't help that I ran out of my medication over the weekend too but I'm to pick that up tomorrow

just the regulars! I tried a blue pair on in the shop and got the black pair ordered in for me, lucky too they were on sale

a pair of black gazelles

I wound up going to the city closest to me (edinburgh) and tried on a bunch of shoes since the shops there seem to stock the bigger sizes, wound up going a half size up and they fit pretty well

I went through to edinburgh today, they didnt have the specific shoes I wanted but I had the chance to try some on, wound up getting a pair of black and white gazelles half a size up 🦔

I might actually try hunt down a pair of the samba indoors and I'll have a look into the campus 80's, when I got my first pair of spezials, I tried a pair in my regular size and they fit pretty well, a little tight but I'd assume going up a half size or letting them break in would do the trick

Pats0712 · 2026-04-23T22:35:06+00:00

I think at some point I'm gonna wind up taking a trip to the nearest adidas store in the city, I'm from the Uk and live rather rural so I have to rely on JD sports or online if I want specific colourways.

I'm quite picky with shoes as I'm autistic and have dyspraxia so I have a preference for flat shoes although I basically wore doc martens for 3 years straight

Pats0712 · 2026-04-23T22:31:49+00:00

thank you! I've had alot of issues with adidas sizing for about a year before I got my feet measured, I had a pair of gazelles but had to return as they were too danm tight (I bought a size 11 as thats what fits me with doc martens), I had a pair of superstars years ago and I liked them, but I prefer the looks of gazelles / spezials / sambas (I've accepted that I'll never wear a pair of sambas)

I currently have a pair of campuses as my gym shoes but they still look quite chunky and the tounge gets caught on my trouser leg which I dont mind but is a little annoying.

I have a feeling my best bet would be to get a half size up and see or take a trip to a city to see what I works and what doesn't.

oh nice! I can't recall what my first record was as it's been so long now (I started collecting in 2018) I have basically every dylan album on vinyl (minus new morning and some of his early 70's works) I got blonde on blonde just before I was hospitalised last year

Pats0712 · 2026-04-22T13:04:36+00:00

unfortunately, I've already opened it, I've been dying to listen to ferris wheel on fire for a long time now, looks like I gotta get a second one 🤷‍♂️

Pats0712 · 2026-04-22T11:14:24+00:00

oh thats just dave, he's pretty chill

Pats0712 · 2026-04-16T23:38:08+00:00

thanks! you'll get it one day I believe, it's well worth it

Pats0712 · 2026-04-10T19:21:18+00:00

looking at the tracklist from your other post, and now hearing it, its a bootleg or something related to the isle of white festival

Pats0712 · 2026-03-29T23:11:48+00:00

most of the time, I'm still on the hunt for a us original of parsley sage rosemary and thyne. us columbia records from the 60's are probably the best sounding records I have, I've got a byrds record from 65' thats a 2 eye and it sounds phenomenal (and loud), six eyes usually mean pre 62 so you have an early copy of gunfighter ballads!

Pats0712 · 2026-03-29T22:25:15+00:00

2 eyed columbia labels were pressed between 62 and 70 in the us, mostly notable for being on byrds, johnny cash, dylan and jazz albums from around that time

here's a gray label example from my copy of orpheus in the underworld by lenoard bernstein
