I’ve been taking a photo every day for 7 years now. I’ve managed to train myself so that it feels weird not taking a photo – I’ll admit, sometimes I’ll get to the end of a unremarkable day so I take a panic photo, but at least the photo is representative of the day! Instagram … More Project 365 – 2017
I have achieved nothing these past few weeks. I haven’t felt 100% since my terrible cold a few weeks ago, and now I’m fairly certain I have bronchitis. I’ve spent yet another day off work in my Wonder Woman PJs coughing so hard that I’ve thrown up on several occasions. I’m not normally an ill … More I see a fever dream before me now
2016. What can I say about this disaster of a year that others haven’t already said. I think most people got to the end of December a bit shell shocked and worn out. I’m certainly one of them. My entire year was defined by my Dad’s illness and his sudden, unexpected death. It’s hard to explain … More A place of monstrous beauty and endless dark and glimmering light
To say this year has gone from bad to worse for me is wrong – it started off bad, got the worst it could ever get, and has stayed at a solid level of just awful. Earlier this week, my phone stopped working. I didn’t think I’d ever be one of those people who is … More The big moments are going to come, you can’t help that
It’s been a bit of a quiet Autumn for me so far, with not much planned until our Scotland trip in a couple of weeks. It’s even featured a weekend spent at work which is most unusual for me. Other than being so very cold, campus was a dream with no one about and an … More The lattes go from vanilla to pumpkin
The last month has been the usual Fresher’s madness at work – September and October are dominated by just utter craziness. This is my eighth Freshers though, so I can’t pretend to be surprised. This October also features a solo week for me, with Husband off on a last minute work trip to Texas. Once … More I need you so much closer
As woman whose normally high emotional level is even higher at the moment, I’m sure you can imagine that every little thing has the potential to lead to tears right now. To say that I’m fragile is bit of an understatement. However the decision that 51.9% of my country made earlier this week has utterly … More We’re all alone in our own universe
I ended this week by having two burgers in two days. Not particularly healthy but they were insanely tasty. The first was at CAU in Guildford with some friends from work. I haven’t been to CAU in about three years – not for any reason other than I don’t go out in Guildford that much … More Blazing beef, and big old buns
There is nothing connecting the things mentioned in this post, other than they appeared in my life this week and I want to marry them all. The Danish String Quartet A slightly out of left field musical obsession for me, the Danish String Quartet are three Danes and a Norwegian, “your friendly neighborhood string quartet … More Things I love this week
We are currently in the middle of putting in some Pax wardrobes (well, Husband is. I’m sat on the bed blogging) which has led to the discovery of things I’d long forgotten about, including the above box. It was shoved right under the bed, and I don’t think I’ve thought about any of this stuff … More They’ll make you a mix tape, to give you a clue
