It's late in the day for a blog post, I know. As the weekend comes to an end, I'm feeling particularly melancholy and blogging always makes me feel chirpier, so here we are. It feels like Sunday evening came around very quickly. It feels like only a few minutes ago, I was rolling out of … Continue reading Week Twenty

Another year older
I'M FEELIN' 24. And 'what does 24 feel like?' you might ask. Well, I guess I actually do feel a little older. If I really think about it, I realise that even in the last week or so I've done many things a younger me would have been too scared to do. Silly things like … Continue reading Another year older
Let her sleep for when she wakes she will move mountains
Today is my grandad's and my sister's birthday. I love birthdays. Waking up this morning and jumping out of bed to give them my birthday wishes made me so happy. I love how everyone comes together too. My grandparents were here for the weekend and my brother came home too. My sister's friends popped 'round … Continue reading Let her sleep for when she wakes she will move mountains
Here comes the sun (do dee do doo)
Genuinely struggling to piece this week together. It's been a long one, a busy one, a stressful one at times, but ultimately a good one. Wednesday was a very good day, I remember that. For my birthday, Dave bought him and I tickets to see The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre. For those … Continue reading Here comes the sun (do dee do doo)
Bleary-eyed, still smiling
This week was a tiring one. In fact, I was so tired Friday afternoon I nearly fell asleep in training at work. Every time I closed my eyes it was almost too much effort to get them open again. The information being presented was interesting and valuable and yet I could not stop yawning. I … Continue reading Bleary-eyed, still smiling
Adventure of a Lifetime
Oh my goodness, where to start? I did go to Reading to celebrate being 22. I turned up and my wonderful friends were waiting with cards and presents which made me ridiculously happy. Our night out started with Prosecco and ended with MacDonald's, need I say more? If you've never tried MacDonald's cheesy bites, be … Continue reading Adventure of a Lifetime
“If you focus too far in front of you, you won’t see the shiny thing out of the corner of your eye” – Tim Minchin
I'll start with the job. It's going really well I think. It's hard work, but I'm enjoying it. The last time I wrote, I was still recovering from food poisoning and that was definitely making life harder. Don't get me wrong, the week after was difficult, but nowhere near as much so. This half term … Continue reading “If you focus too far in front of you, you won’t see the shiny thing out of the corner of your eye” – Tim Minchin
Musn’t Grumble
This week's been exhausting. In fact, if I'd tried to write this post a couple of days ago I'm sure I just would have grumbled about being tired and feeling anxious and about the gloomy weather forecast for the weekend.
And so the sun set on my teenage years
When one of my friends suggested we head to the beach the day before my birthday, I was excited, but I could not have imagined how beautiful it would be. I'd had an exam in the morning, so I spent the majority of the afternoon recovering in bed with a pizza. She picked me up … Continue reading And so the sun set on my teenage years
