Look up

Heya all,

After the doom and gloom of last week’s post I’m back to feeling my normal self this week.. YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY. Managed to finish off some uni work yesterday so that was a relief with the next bit not due for a couple of weeks. I can BREATHE.
I started with reflecting a bit more on what happened last week and really aimed to get back on track with my reading and me time and really found the benefits of this again.  There was one day this week when my work was really frustrating me. I was doing the typical ‘I’ll sit here and stare at my work but not make any changes for a few hours and feel frustrated at myself’ thing. So I went for a very fast walk for about 10 minutes. At the beginning I was walking so fast almost out of anger but by the end I looked up and made a point of stopping and really seeing the world for a minute and seeing that this project will be a thing of the past very soon and that in a years’ time ill nearly have forgotten that it even existed. And low and behold it’s been handed in and the world feels a little less stressful.

This week was also Australia day and it did make me feel a little home sick. We marked the occasion and I really enjoyed reminiscing about things from home and generally just taking time with my family. Also the pavlova was divine.

It was the bird watch this week and this is my moment to big up citizen science and try my hardest to get everyone interested in wildlife. I, myself, am really interested in the natural world and therefore took my degree in it in order to learn more. But I think its important for everyone to get a little connection with nature whether that be walking the dogs in woods to taking a moment to watch the birds on the garden feeders. The RSPB garden bird watch is a way to take some time out of the day to just sit and really look at the wildlife that’s all around you and a way to add to science that’s helping to highlight species that need our help. Also I enjoyed using my puffin mug that a great friend of mine got me.

Tomorrow I have my last driving lesson before my test next week. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA. So so so so so so nervous. Can’t wait for it all to be over. If any of you have any suggestions on how to stay calm and pass that test I would be very grateful.  

Hope you all had a good week
Get outside and really 'see'

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...

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...

Autumn at the Arboretum

Hey all, I went to Westonbirt arboretum  again this year and loved it just as much as the first time. The crunching of the leaves, the sun through the blazing leaves and a bitter breeze on my face. It was lovely to have a day away from everything. We got wrapped up in our woollies and braved the cold day and really was not disappointing with the array of colours. A time to really relax and just be in the moment. How hippy-fied of me… We spent the day looking at so many beautiful autumn colours, drinking hot chocolate and eating doughnuts! My boyfriend ( dark_matter97 ) and I took lots of pictures while I was there and thought I would share a few;   Happy Halloween and I hope you all have had a great autumn thus far, Id love to see any autumn pictures you have taken this year! Love, Lozzy
