The last week has been an eventful one, and that is putting it mildly. With slowly coming out of quarantine comes a lot of things all suddenly starting to happen or being planned which is both exciting and absolutely overwhelming. Last update I gave clues that my practical assessment was pending, what I didn’t say... Continue Reading →
There’s something I’ve developed in my time of assisting with post mortem examinations that I’ve never really spoke about until now. I think the neck is just really cool.

Today is a very Mondayish apparently Sunday while I have been at work, the only things really giving... Continue Reading →
'We might still know sorrow but we got better days’ Better Days - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros I came home one day the last week and I actually said ‘I’ve had a really good day’.
