    Pandemic Lessons: Boredom (or: what have I been doing?)

    I’m so bored of being stuck at home and not working. There. I SAID IT. I was furloughed from April and have been made redundant now and am still furloughed, until mid-October when I’ll finally be free. I won’t discuss my feelings on that now, but I am looking forward to moving on to something…

  • Pandemic Lessons: Self Approval

    Pandemic Lessons: Self Approval

    You have been criticising yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens. Louise L. Hay Yesterday I had confirmation that my furlough has been extended through June. This was of course right before the government announced they were extending the scheme four more months, through October. After July…

  • Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    Books, music, and telly, oh my!

    I’m home for what feels like forever and it’s only week 3 and I’m already tired of watching telly and sitting on the sofa and I have another 3 weeks of this?! I have a stack of books to read, which I’m thankful for. I’ve already read Alice by Christina Henry, which I loved. It’s…

    Best or Darkest Days

    And these could be the best or darkest days The lines we walk are paper thin This line from So Close by Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness (his latest single, which is awesome by the way) is pretty accurate these days. I don’t write about politics so I’m not going to go on about it…

  • What are you doing?

    How do you spend your free time? I play games, read, watch telly. All the usual stuff. I’m inclined to say I watch maybe too much telly, but there are so many good things on. That’s no excuse though. I know. So what am I doing? Books I’m always reading a couple of things at…

  • Living in the Moment

    Last night we went to London and saw Jason Mraz. I have liked his music since his first album, then as you do, things move on. His latest albums however, brought me back to him. The messages in his music are something I need in my life right now. Don’t worry, live in the moment,…

  • We are the media

    It’s been a long time since I’ve been excited-obsessed about new music. Most people have heard of Amanda Palmer. I knew kinda who she was but admittedly, never listened to her earlier music or paid a whole lot of attention until her kickstarter. This is why a lot of people I know have heard of…

  • This. Always.

    Something Corporate – Space There’s a lot going on in my little ol’ head lately and well, the stress isn’t going to let up anytime soon I fear. So this song is on repeat today to stop me actually screaming. <3

  • Anticipation

    Very suddenly, there is a heck of a lot going on in the next few months! And in order for me to keep up with everything I’m going to have to concentrate on working out so I have the energy I need to get through it and also eating right to fuel my workouts and…
