About a year ago, I told you all that I was living in a shed. THINGS ARE TERRIBLE! I said. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I find pleasure in nothing --- only dramatic and ill-considered break-up metaphors I am likely to cringe at in twelve months' time. AND HERE WE ARE!! A full three-hundred-and-something-something days after...... cringin' hard. … Continue reading MOVEMENT + REPOSE
THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE: I AM A FAN OF MY OWN COMPANY. Not wanting to blow my own trumpet or anything but...... here we are. Toot toot. Really, though. I make myself laugh. I give A+ pep talks to the mirror. I write good stuff sometimes and then sit there clutching my own arms as … Continue reading THE BARCA-LONER
Sometimes all you can do is put your Madonna playlist on and try your damn best. Which is your favourite Madonna song? Mine is Don't Tell Me but I am also a big fan of Ray of Light, because I mean who isn't. I genuinely remember hearing it for the first time on the radio … Continue reading THE IN-BETWEEN
OH, HI! What a week it has been. You know when you are so tired you feel like your eyes are only a few seconds away from falling out? It would be very dramatic for me to say that that was how I was feeling BUT I AM IN A DRAMATIC MOOD SO I AM … Continue reading HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE: ANOTHER FLAWED GUIDE
I don't live there anymore. The shed, I mean. There is a chance that I will go back to visit from time to time, not because I want to but because Things Happen and Life Is Unpredictable and that is just the way it goes. Working late makes me happy. Finishing early sometimes on a … Continue reading LEAVING THE SHED
Sometimes life is hard, and at the moment I am waiting it out. I am waiting it out in a old, rickety shed on a beach somewhere. This is where I live, for now, and it rains a lot of the time. Some days I don't mind the rain - I put a bucket or … Continue reading TALKING, QUIETLY
HELLO FRIENDS! Acquaintances and enemies welcome too, I guess. I am writing this on Friday the 13th, a day that is supposed to be ~slightly scary~ for reasons I'm unsure of. Perhaps I will Google it when I finish this blog post, PERHAPS I WON'T. Such is the kooky spooky nature of this sacred day. … Continue reading HOW TO BE ASSERTIVE: A FLAWED GUIDE BY YOURS TRULY
You know what I realised the other day? I was standing in the kitchen eating some spinach for the first time in about six months and feeling smug (honestly, one healthy activity and I feel like I should receive some sort of award) and I REALISED: I haven’t blogged in ages. I mean, I’ve been … Continue reading Dobby, drama and domestic chores
"But I look horrible!" We went for a walk on Sunday. We got in the car, drove to a nearby bit of countryside, and did some exploring. I will be honest with you and say I had a BLAST - I inhaled some fresh air, I ran along a muddy path like a five year-old … Continue reading Things to remember while you’re getting dressed
If I think back to being small, I remember liking two things above all else: Disney and reading. I liked other stuff too, of course: beanbags, Angel Delight and Jim Davidson's Generation Game, to name a few. But Disney and reading always came out top. This is me, havin' a good old read in bed … Continue reading #DisneyBookWeek: Making reading magical
