Mortuary Worker & Death Blogger
As the year continues to speed by and the world carries on behaving in more and more bizarre ways, another week has passed in a blink of an eye once again. As of today where I live now sits firmly in a Tier 2 area of the UK so I can no longer be inside... 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.

It’s a most excellent start to any morning when you make a cup of tea only to realise that the milk’s gone off. However I wouldn’t let that ruin or darken my day for I was off early to the AAPT 14th annual conference and this year I had some pretty awesome reasons to be... Continue Reading →
