A few pics from our short but sweet photo shoot a few weeks back where we were enjoying the last of the sunshine 🌞 We have some news to announce next week - sign up for the Cosy Newsletter (in our links) to hear it first!

9 years ago I married the best man that I know. Time may have changed us as it does for all travellers in this life, but my love has never faded. You are the most loving and supportive partner a girl could hope for. Here's to many more years of fun and love to come 🥂

This is my dear friend Julie who passed away in 2023. Some of you may know that she generously and lovingly left me money in her will for my music. The result is my forthcoming album Jumping At Ghosts. This year in 2026, I will be finally sharing these songs with you and I can't wait! You can read more about my friend and the album on the blank instrument website on the page 'Julie'.

Grief is a strange beast - you never know when it's going to invite itself for dinner. It's been a few difficult weeks for Todd and me as we have both had bereavements in our families. For this reason, we wont be playing the open mic at H***y Tonk on 10 November.

I wrote the song Tears Still Flow, when a dear friend of mine passed away in 2023, and it seems appropriate to share it with you now. Recorded at Sundown Studios as part of the Jumping at Ghosts sessions, this is the first mix. Would love to know what you think. Access it through Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/blankinstrument/tears-still-flow.

Hard to believe my 2nd EP My Piano Sounds Okay is 3 years old today! Thank you to anyone who has listened. When I think of what I've learned these past few years, it's mind blowing. New releases are coming in 2026 💖

It's that wonderful time of the month when the Cosy Newsletter comes out 🥧 Discerning cats like Biscuit would love to read it and sadly don't know how - but you can! This month there's dreamy synth pop from Flopsy's Dream , and his wheelbarrow Uber adventure and going back to 2011 for our Songs I Love post for the gorgeous folk tune 'Song for Sundays' by Luke Ritchie.

What books are you reading at the moment? 📚 This is my current coffee table reading pile, two of which were recommended to me by and . I really love drinking tea and listening to some music while I quietly read and forget about the world for a bit.

We just returned from a relaxing long weekend in Jurien Bay. We had been waiting for a break and made sure we spent time doing nothing! We were lucky that the weather was gorgeous, so we had some nice walks and visited the Pinnacles. I'm yet to see most things in WA; wherever I go, the landscape is always interesting and beautiful. It's great being away, but it's also great to come home to my little house and the boys.
