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!

Finding the light within the storm

January was a month of lockdown, isolation and teaching from home. A month of sunrises, walks and reading. Dancing, painting, snow falls and quiet. There was beauty where you looked for it. Moments of calm amongst this storm. The snow bought a welcome relief. Some variety to living so cooped up. It felt lovely to feel such coolness in the air and to see the world looking so bright. I built a snowman and felt my worries slipping away. I enjoyed hot chocolates and cosy blankets. February started off much like January but harder. Days working from home felt filled with stress and worry. Long days slumped over a laptop, grinding teeth and headaches, deadlines and lesson plans. However, it has also been filled with love. Valentines day, walks, yummy food and still more memories from this month to make. I wanted to share a few things that are lighting up my life so far in 2021. We all need to find the light in the storm. I downloaded an app called one second everyday and I really recommend y...

My Menstrual Cup and Me

One of my 2021 resolutions was to try and make environmentally conscious decisions and this has started with my period. The stats regarding period product waste in landfill was something I just couldn't ignore.  "Did you know that conventional sanitary pads contain a high percentage of plastic? One estimate is that pads are made of  up to 90% plastic  – another is that a pack of menstrual pads is  equivalent to 4 plastic bags"  ( Friends of the Earth ). "The average person who menstruates throws away  up to 200 kg of menstrual products  in their lifetime"  ( Friends of the Earth ). Image by  PatriciaMoraleda  from  Pixabay This really made me think about the waste that I was producing each and every month.   I decided it was time for me to try something more environmentally friendly and I decided that I would try menstrual cups. Now don't get me wrong, the idea made me nervous. I had heard horr or stories of leakage, cramp...

2021 - My (Covid safe, applicable and achievable) new years resolutions

2020 has been ... a year! I for one, and I'm sure like most of you, are very pleased to say goodbye to 2020. Its been a challenging year for all with illness, job losses and cancelled plans. Lockdowns, boredom and worry. But its also been a year for growth, time and space. I for one have cherished these things.  I have seen quite a few posts popping up on my social media accounts talking of the mass cancellation of new years resolutions. About giving yourself a break and space to start 2021 slowly. I completely agree, 2020 has been a hard year and there is no point setting resolutions if they bring you more stress than good. However, I love making my resolutions each year. I enjoy focussing on what I have achieved and what I want to carry forward into the next year. I enjoy reflecting and looking at my 'bigger' life goals.  This last year has been difficult and the next seems so uncertain. Usually I would be looking forward to travelling more and meeting up with family and ...
