2020 for me is all about living my best life and part of that is spending more time doing things that make me happy and don't involve me looking at a screen. So, one of the 2020 Goals I set myself was a Goodreads target of completing 40 books this year and, so far, I'm not doing too badly! I'm quite lucky (or unlucky, depending how you look at it) to spend about 2-hours a day sitting on a[...]
I got my cats back in 2006 and, to this day, they’re still the best decision I ever made. At the time I was in the process of refurbishing a house with my ex and my pleas for a puppy were hitting a brick wall, so I took another angle and suggested perhaps we could get a kitten and, as they say, the rest is history. I first saw my boys when they were 1 day old. They’d been b[...]
I'm trying to type this blog post with a cat butt in my face. Devon has decided that after I've spent this morning doing all those little life admin jobs, it's time I looked at him instead of the laptop. So, I best keep this short and sweet and get myself on that sofa for cuddles ASAP! My god I'm grateful to have my pets in my life. So, January has been and gone after seeming to la[...]
Happy New Year! 2020... it feels so futuristic! I'm fairly sure we all thought we'd be zipping around on hoverboards and driving flying cars by now! That said, although we aren't all speaking to each other as holograms and teleporting to work and back every day, it does feel to me that there's magic in the air this year and I'm so excited for the next 12 months! As we got nearer to t[...]
So here we are, the last day of 2019! Half of me wants to say "that flew by" and the other half feels like the beginning of the year was a lifetime away, but there's one thing I'm definite on and that's that 2019 has been a really important year for me in a very low-key way. 2017 was a year of sadness, 2018 was a year of happiness and celebrating life, and 2019 has turned out to be a year[...]
It’s not often you’ll find me posting fashion-focussed posts - I’ve never been particularly comfortable in front of a camera lens and clothing has always been something I use as a barrier; a shield to cover me up and let me blend in with my surroundings. I’ve fought for years not to be seen. So, today’s post is far outside my comfort zone, but I’m doing it! I’m here to show[...]
There's something special about Sundays. A lazy lie-in, reading the news whilst tucked up under the duvet, a cuppa with some breakfast, and the rest of the day ahead to do as much or as little as you want. For me, the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon is a stroll in the fresh air, then stopping off in a little pub somewhere for a meal I haven't had to cook. Bliss! A cou[...]
I've watched a lot of horror films - three of which have been about Escape Rooms. All of those began with a random invitation to the main character, asking them to come down and try their skills against the games master. So, when I opened my email a few weeks ago to find a random invitation to try out an Escape Room, for a moment my brain stuttered as fiction collided with reality. Then, I[...]
Well, hello there, hi, howdy! I'm back! I'll be honest, when I wrote my last post saying I was going to be taking a break from blogging to focus on my offline life for a little while, I wasn't 100% sure if I would be back. In fact, I was definitely leaning more towards the never-coming-back side of things. But, the time away has done me the world of good and I'm so excited to pi[...]
It's been a couple of months since my last "Dear Diary..." life update post and, somehow, things have been simultaneously quite quiet and really eventful at the same time. I think, realistically, I'm not going to be able to blog much in the next month or so as my free time is going to spent focussing on things that need to be done offline. Namely, we have to pack up our entire house and mo[...]
