I won’t dwell on this for long, but I decided to check in with everyone to just say Happy New Year and I hope all is going well so far for 2019. Personally, not had the best start I could hope for but I’m feeling a lot better than I did on New Year’s Day... Continue Reading →
Looking back on the last year, I can only be shocked at how far I have come and the things I have done and seen. Although I’ve not had a break between Christmas and New Year, the way the days have fallen it’s still been really confusing as to what day it is and whether... Continue Reading →
Christmas is a time that I absolutely adore, but I do know many people that utterly hate it. While I love this time of year, I completely understand that it can be a really hard time for people. I would like to start this seasonal post by asking anyone who is struggling over the festive... Continue Reading →
We are well into the flow of December and I feel like making up my own 12 days of Christmas. Needs work but this is what I have so far... I know it’s awful, and I’m the worst for thinking I am remotely funny just because I crack myself up! Work has really ramped up... Continue Reading →

On top of that, add some insomnia, anxiety and general joint pain, I think feel close to the classic... Continue Reading →
The Upminster Death Cafe in November was earlier in the month than usual but that didn’t stop us filling out the venue and having a great time. We had nine people not including the hosts this time around and the discussions were as varied and as interesting as always. I think these events only get... Continue Reading →
Noticeably it’s been getting busier in the mortuary, just like it’s been getting darker and colder in the evenings. We’ve not been short of work at all, while also trying to streamline some processes and make ourselves more efficient. Our manager would like us to get into the habit of working in certain ways that... Continue Reading →
You might know already, but I am a cat person. As I write this, my youngest cat is dreamily watching a YouTube channel made to relieve cats of boredom and anxiety. My eldest is sat on a blanket recovering from his latest trip to the vets. Like my Instagram bio states, I’m all about cats... Continue Reading →
