May is one of the best months of the year and I'm very happy it's here. The sun starts to shine a little warmer in May. The trees are leafy again and the flowers are all out and about. Summer is officially on the horizon and it feels closer every day. We're all a little… Continue reading A Fab Time in Dublin

Exploring London: Discovering Live Music in Whitechapel and the V&A Museum
Life's been busy, good busy and this weekend has been a good'un. I spent most of it in my favourite city in the world... Friday night I headed to the George Tavern in Whitechapel with some people from work. It's a live music venue and the musicians who played were all so talented! 'Friend of… Continue reading Exploring London: Discovering Live Music in Whitechapel and the V&A Museum
Let her sleep for when she wakes she will move mountains
Today is my grandad's and my sister's birthday. Waking up this morning and jumping out of bed to give them my birthday wishes made me so happy. I've been at work for most of the afternoon so I'm now feasting on left over birthday cake and drinking the last of the red wine. I did… Continue reading Let her sleep for when she wakes she will move mountains
Monday’s the new Sunday
Sun's shining. I slept in until 10. I'm still in my pyjamas. I've done my washing and tidied my room. Other than that, I spent the morning lounging in bed reading and I've spent the majority of this afternoon watching The Walking Dead. There's no roast dinner cooking. That's the only way I know it's… Continue reading Monday’s the new Sunday

They played much better than they did against Chelsea today, thank goodness. It was a really great match, well worth the… Continue reading Sick from work, not sick of it
New Job Nerves
"Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present." My mum's ironing and singing the Strictly Come Dancing theme tune. My dad's fixing a hole in one of the bedroom ceilings. I'm studying. Yep, that's right, I've finally made a start on the music therapy reading. I'm finding it SO interesting which is a… Continue reading New Job Nerves
Inhale confidence, exhale doubt
Hi Sunday crew! Dave and I are sat watching the football having had the yummiest and biggest of full Englishes this morning. The sun's shining, but it is really chilly so I'm curled up on the sofa under a blanket. It's October! Can you believe it? Time's flying. Not going to lie, I'm excited about… Continue reading Inhale confidence, exhale doubt
Balancing work and study: Part time sales assistant, full time student
I feel like my heart never stops beating too fast and the butterflies are back with a vengeance and that maybe this job wasn't such a good idea after all. The first week that I had to juggle lectures and work shifts I spent so focused on getting to where I needed to be that, once I'd got there, I forgot to enjoy myself. Then, when I got back home I felt like I'd done everything I needed to do: I found food, cooked it, ate it, collapsed in bed and normally very quickly, fell asleep. Perhaps I did need sleep and perhaps I had done all I needed to do, but it meant I never took a moment to actually decompress or relax.
