For some indeterminate reason, my blogging really tailed off towards the end of 2019. I definitely still enjoy it, but the last year of the decade seemed much quieter for me than previous years. It’s hard to find inspiration when all you’re doing is working and sleeping! I’m sincerely hoping that 2020 has a lot … More December 2019 Things
November happened in the blink of an eye, and December rushed at me unexpectedly. I feel unprepared for the last month of the decade! Eddie IzzardThe month started at an Eddie Izzard gig – the fifth tour I have seen of his (Circle, Sexie, Stripped, Force Majure and now Wunderbar). Honestly, if you don’t like … More November 2019 Things
And just like that, the new academic year kicks off and everything starts to settle down. October is still a little chaotic at the start, but we’re almost back to ‘normal’ by the end of the month, which gives me more time for myself. John Robins – Hot ShameI adore the comedian John Robins and … More October 2019 Things
This last post about my 48 hours in Copenhagen (alternative title – “Did you really go to Copenhagen just for a burger?”) is about possibly the weirdest place you can visit in the city – Cisternerne. The Cisterns is an old water reservoir found beneath the Søndermarken park in Frederiksberg. For some crazy reason, it … More 48 Hours in Copenhagen – Cisternerne

September always seems to come and go in the blink of an eye – we spend the whole month panicking about the students coming back, and all of a sudden, campus is filled with them. This September was exceptionally tough and ended with me doing a 70 hour week. Oof. I need the whole of … More September 2019 Things
Copenhagen has some of the best and unique food in the world. Unfortunately for my food-loving Husband, we didn’t try any of it. It’s just not my scene, guys – I don’t think I could ever promise to be interested in a classic Noma meal or a trip around the iconic food markets. I do … More 48 Hours in Copenhagen – What We Ate
We don’t normally celebrate our wedding anniversary – it’s too close to both our birthdays and the start of the academic year, so no really effort is made and we’re both fine with that. This year however, we thought we should do something special to mark the big 1-0. Our immediate thought – Copenhagen. Our … More 48 Hours in Copenhagen
I’ve seem to have had a summer break from blogging – completely unintentionally, but the month somehow got away from me. And now we’re in September, which is already shaping up to be incredibly manic (certainly from a work perspective). Misshapes: The Making of Tatty DevineAt the beginning of the month (which feels like a … More August 2019 Things
July was an incredibly emotional month, and I was only at work for half of it! FarewellsI said goodbye to an awful lot of friends and co-workers at work due to various re-structures. It was tough. I’ve been to 6 leaving parties in the past two weeks, and invited to a bunch of others that … More July 2019 Things
