Note: I cannot directly talk about the COVID-19 situation specific to my work, if that is what you want then you need to speak to the Communications team at BHRUT. If anything, I know only what’s in the press anyway because I’ve been pretty much solidly only in the company of cats for a week.... Continue Reading →
There's not an awful lot to say for the weekly update this time around. A lot happened but nothing I would particularly wish to write about. I had some really heartwarming times this week and feel like I'm finally getting to grips with chilling out after work has finished. Mastering doing nothing is really hard... Continue Reading →
The last week of February has been an eventful one, seems impossible that February is nearly done and I still in my 32nd year cannot be certain I am spelling Feburary correctly each time I write it.

This week I found myself speaking on three separate occasions to groups of people about the mortuary. On Tuesday it was a very large group, Thursday only four people and then on Friday I stood in a lecture hall with about 15. I didn’t count the exact number of the group on Tuesday but I...

It seemed very apt that on the day where I was struggling to settle on what to write about, I was tasked with helping clean out a fridge. Yep, today I climbed inside a fridge with all the trays removed and cleaned the back wall plus the back half including the rollers. Such a very... Continue Reading →
Everyone seems to be in agreement that last week was the longest in living memory. I think from Tuesday it felt like it should have been the weekend already! The mortuary has been busy with various different things which has kept me on my toes all week and made for one very tired MG. I... Continue Reading →
