It was hard to know what to write about this week, but I did feel like I had to write something. I think that is the worst feeling when trying to write. Not wanting to write is easy when you are not relying on the writing for anything, I can just simply choose not to.... Continue Reading →
I wrote a blog post with this title before as it perfectly described my existence at the time, and it sprung to mind again which means I guess I can reuse it (with the suffix, of course!). It’s been three weeks since my last blog post which was wholly unintended but needed in many ways... Continue Reading →
You see statements like that in films, or television shows. Parts where you flash forward and then you move to a significant point in the timeline being represented.

'Long-term covid' is a phrase that is thrown about by people, a strange and mysterious term which... Continue Reading →
I have come to the end of my ten days isolation after testing positive for COVID-19, which should feel like a cause for celebration. It does, however, coincide with this part of the country entering Tier 4 and being told that we cannot mix households for Christmas. The entirety of this is giving me huge... Continue Reading →
It has been a strange week, mostly in the fact that it has not been very strange at all which can only raise suspicions in 2020. After discussing with most of my colleagues, we confirmed that there is a general feeling of weariness among us all but it is alongside this general feeling of unease... Continue Reading →
Edit- this was written yesterday and just to highlight how quickly things change I’ve since thought it best to get a Coronavirus test as myself and my husband have developed mild symptoms. I still wanted to post this as it felt important, but bear in mind we are now isolating and awaiting results. Each week... Continue Reading →
