What a week....


Hello again everyone!
How have all of your weeks gone?

Mines been absolutely, unbelievably shocking… Its been one of those weeks where you wonder if the world is trying to spite you. 12 hours of typing up data was enough to start off my week in a bit of a huff, followed by a cancelled lecture… I was not a happy bunny. After a not so great presentation, a stressful driving lesson, software not working and probably another 15 things iv tried to forget, I am back here again a week later. Everything has been more difficult than it should have been and its left me feeling all together quite annoyed. So sitting down to write this is making me feel a little better… even though the clocks have changed and its now dark at 5…..why.

Enough of that rant. Good things have happened!
I went out on Friday night with my friends and stayed over the night. It was really good to let my hair down and relax for a day after such a hard week.
Also I carved this loooovely pumpkin. Look how cute it is :D I toasted all of the seeds in the oven. Delicious.

 

 
 
 
 
(150 degrees for 10-12 minutes with a dash of oil and scattered with salt).
 
But moving from all the fun that’s been my last week lets discuss a day that promised such fun…. The fair.

Lets rewind back to myself at 9am that morning. Head pounding and uneasiness in my stomach. That all too well known feeling of alcohol rotting your insides. Well yes that was me. But still in my haze I decided that the fun fair would be well… fun.

It started off very well! I enjoyed losing money on the machines (idk whether that’s sarcastic or not...) and having chips by the sea side. All was going swimmingly. Watching sea gulls the size of dogs parade the paths and repetitive dings of the arcade machines. Then I had a very very bad idea. The kind of idea that makes no sense. The one you look back at yourself and wonder what on earth you were thinking…. The waltzer.

Now every other time I have been on the waltzer ride its been great. Not today. Oh no it wasn’t. Started all very well. Oh so much fun I was having. And then I wasn’t, very quickly I wasn’t. I swear this waltzer was on turbo. I was lifting very slightly off the seat and staring blankly in front. Face going pale and stomach churning I decided this wasn't my best idea. Between shouts of ‘weeeee’ and ‘MAKE IT STOP’ followed by whimpers and side ways glances at my boyfriend I staggered off the ride after the ride operator asking if I was okay. Definitely was not okay.

Followed this by doughnuts
Not a good idea again
But doughnuts tasted SO good.


So here we are at the end of another tragic story and an equally tragic feeling week. What's the lesson learnt I hear you cry? Dizzy and hung over is NOT a good combination and sometimes fun just isn’t meant to be. But it will be again! Promise :D
Sat in my pjs about to drink a big mug of tea and a biscuit to reflect on the week and (hopefully) better tackle the next!


Happy Halloween!

Just keep swimming

Hello hello, Heres my first blog post. Seemed fitting to start something new on the 9 th of October…. Anyone? Well I’ve been having the burning desire to chit chat and document my thoughts, ideas, mishaps, adventures and maybe even a sprinkling of advice for good measure. So here we go. Strap in folks. This is definitely going to be a bumpy ride so bear with me…. Well happy Monday. Today consisted of my theory driving test which phew I passed! Whoop whoop for me. But as anyone who knows me knows all too well, my stress levels are something that without… well…. I wouldn’t be me. So with stress levels still high but with a sense of success seeping in, I plodded through the ever coldening (not a word but should be) English weather to catch my train. Always busy. Like its midday on a Monday. What are you all doing. Anyway as I slumped into a chewing gum covered seat I rested my arm on the arm rest. But it wasn’t an arm rest. It was a poor unsuspecting middle aged mans knee wh...

The Midnight Library - A review

I picked up The Midnight Library after hearing so many good things about it. I was drawn to the colours and imagery of the cover and was intrigued by the idea of a library between life and death. I'd heard lots of good things about Matt Haig and so many of his books were already on my 'to read' list.  The Midnight Library follows the life, death and the in-between of the main character Nora Seed. Nora is displeased with her life, the countless what ifs and regrets. Noras negative internal monologue is one in which most of us will find familiar. But Nora, through death, learns why she wants to live.  I love the way Matt explored what it means to live a good life through such an imaginative story line. Matt carefully weaved life lessons so seamlessly into the plot line which created a book that did not feel like a self help book, but taught many lessons that will stick with me. The characters were warming and likeable but not in a 'perfect' way.  Noras self reflective...

Autumn reflection

Happy Monday folks! Where has this last week gone? In fact, how has autumn nearly come and gone! Scarfs, candles, pumpkins, warm drinks and leaves, this time of year is so lovely. This season is always one for getting back into the swings of uni/school work and coming to terms with the fact that summer is now a distant memory, the nights draw closer and the weather gets more and more dreary with each coming day…. Yay? But after a few years of study, I feel like I have got into the balance of life/work but every year September brings around the challenge all over again. With what feels like mountains to do, sometimes the things I enjoy seem to slip. So, having just been set 5 projects all due by December, I thought now would be a good time to outline what I find are the best ways to manage those stressy times but still get what needs to be done… well… done! 1)       Lists – an old but true suggestion. Write everything down. The stress of forge...
