I am all too aware that Christmas can be a time when the pressure to be having a great time can be overwhelming. I know a large number of people who don’t find this time of year exciting or fun, for a number of reasons that can include a bereavement in the past around this... Continue Reading →
Woolsthorpe Manor
I am very lucky to be able to say that I get to travel about a fair amount and go on various adventures around the country and the world in some cases. It’s one of the things I love to do, explore new places and discover new things. The weekend just passed I found myself... Continue Reading →
Death by Revision
One of the hardest things I find in my day to day life is to not feel hugely overwhelmed by simply everything. Not to feel like there are never enough hours in the day. There are always places I want to go to, podcasts I want to listen to, Netflix series to binge and people... Continue Reading →
Pathology Week 2019
It’s the end of Pathology Week and I am guilty of having not done very much to mark it so I thought it would be good to write a blog post. Plus put in a diary reminder to make a much bigger effort next year! Pathology is the study of disease and it’s effects. My... Continue Reading →
This Is (Very Nearly) Halloween
In the true spirit of Halloween, which I have had confirmed is solidly rooted in tradition based in these fair isles and not purely American as some are led to believe (Thanks Sam!), I attended about as much as I could afford. My last event at the London Month of the Dead yesterday was all... Continue Reading →
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It
Or it’s probably not because Christianity has been thinking it’s overdue for ages now and the world still seems to keep carrying on regardless! The London Month of the Dead kicked off for me in true style with a lovely time on Sunday. Started with Richard Barnett’s talk titled The End Of All Things exploring... Continue Reading →
An Adventure in Auld Reekie
I’ve always really liked the name Auld Reekie for Edinburgh. I came across it first off when I played Roller Derby and heard of this Scottish team with a fantastic name. I initially assumed they had made it up and I also thought it meant it was smelly or stinky. Turns out it’s an old... Continue Reading →
Possessions of the Deceased
8 days since my last post! I think that’s the longest I’ve ever gone without unintentionally posting. A combination of life, work and everything in between has been occurring and I can’t say I even noticed that I hadn’t posted. I once again find myself in Hartlepool at the Marina and I really am getting... Continue Reading →
How To Say What Is Hard To Say
Warning- rambling, totes emosh post! I’ve found it really hard to write an update for last week. I’m still struggling on Monday evening how to get it done. It’s not as though I’ve got nothing to say, I had a pretty good and standard week for my job. I got a lot of revision done,... Continue Reading →
Evisceration (Part III)
I think there’s potential for another part after this one if you’re lucky, same warning as with the others. I can be quite graphic in my descriptions so if that’s not your cup of tea stick with my nicer posts. For everyone else, it’s on to the urogenital block! Urogenital is obviously the combination of...
