We Colour, We Chat, We Discover How Simple Moments Can Slow A Busy Mind

Crayons out, mics on, and a turtle to bring to life. We sat down with Memphys during the holidays and discovered how a simple colouring page can flip a noisy day into something calm, curious, and surprisingly honest. As the greens and browns filled the paper, the chat wandered in the best way: from treasure-hunting fantasies to real-world care for the little wild lives we share space with.Memphys walked us through his holiday haul — a metal detector, a tiny plane-like drone, and a dig kit — and we mapped a day from lunch to the lake. Along the way we broke down how magnet fishing works, what rust does to the catch, and how to make smart choices if you pull up something you shouldn’t keep. That led straight to values: when to share, how to return lost finds, and why doing the right thing feels better than a lucky haul. Then came the turtles, dozens of them, shy and curious. We talked about feeding them safely, reading their mood, and rebuilding trust when people haven’t been kind.Between colour choices and lettuce plans, we leaned into humour. Skeleton puns, frog gags, a butt quack groaner Memphys has heard before — the joke scorecard swung between groans and giggles, which is half the fun. We also celebrated small wins at school, teased out sibling dynamics, and prepped for a wedding walk with a toddler in tow. The day rounded out with a love note to local libraries: free podcast rooms, quiet creative spaces, and the kind of community setup that makes mindful habits easy to keep.If you’re feeling fried, take this as your sign: put a colouring book on the table, throw a game on in the background, and let your hands lead your mind back to steady. Press play, then tell us your favourite low-tech reset, and don’t forget to follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people find their calm.
