Thought I’d rock a face mask this week as they seem all the rage recently. Well that and my job often requires that I do. I think it looks a bit like a beak, but there you go. What a fetching get up! Apologies for no cleaning instalment this week, it’s been quite a stressful... Continue Reading →
A huge misconception around mortuary work is that we do makeup and embalming. Some mortuary technicians do but they work at funeral directors or independently and it’s a lot more complicated than it sounds. I would love to learn how to do these things but they are very different to my day to day activities.... Continue Reading →
With Christmas now a long, distant memory it’s time I got back into the swing of my ‘factual’ midweek and ‘update’ weekend posts.

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 →
It’s only a short update I’m afraid today as I feel more obliged to write this than actually have a plan as to what I’m writing! This is possibly the longest unplanned break between blog posts that I’ve had in the whole time I’ve had this blog and it was completely unintentional. However it is... Continue Reading →
What a Dying Matters Awareness Week it has been! I can’t believe my part in it is over and I managed to cram in three Death Cafes which only got bigger and better as the week went on.
