    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…

  • 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…

  • The Day in Pictures

    The Day in Pictures

    I’m thankful that I have some pretty amazing bosses and I have the flexibility to not only work 10-6 instead of 9-5 but that since the house move and my commute being tripled, I’m able to work from home one day a week. Usually I’m home on Tuesdays, unless I need to be home another…

  • Happy Autumn!

    I love a good bank holiday weekend. Life has gotten pretty busy the last month and this past weekend was one of two weekends we have free until November 7th. Crazy! I personally revelled in having no plans. We were possibly going to see friends but they weren’t feeling great which meant we had absolutely no plans…

  • Perfect Day(s)

    I keep meaning to write about stuff I get up to… then I remember, I don’t do much! During the week it’s pretty much work-eat-sleep, repeat and the weekends we rest and chill out. Soon we’ll be packing again so rest and chill out time is key. On rare occasions we do have fun plans…

  • 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…
