Last week was a tough one at work. Emotions were high and with a high workload in the mix too, it was hard to switch off. But a wise person told me not to underestimate the power of regular mini breaks. And of using those breaks to identify tension and do something about it -… Continue reading Memories and DMCs 🥹

Windswept, tired, but happy 🫖
I'm curled up on the sofa in comfy pants and a jumper, watching the trees outside the window wave in the wind. I can't help smiling when I notice they're getting greener by the minute. The air has definitely smelt more spring-like the last couple of days and I've really enjoyed getting out and about - even if it has meant returning home windswept and tired two days in a row...

Between the squeals of people on hen nights,… Continue reading The Best of Brighton: Culture, Food, and Fun
Inspired by London
Surely not? Surely it can't be Sunday again. Well, life updates as follows: My nose won't stop running I might have a job, but as long as I have to put the word might in that sentence I'm not getting carried away: I'm officially signed up to a teaching agency and they seem optimistic about finding me… Continue reading Inspired by London
