Blogaversary
I just refreshed my stats page for my blog, and wordpress kindly told me that today is my blogaversary! One year ago today, I sat at my desk bored out of my mind, probably with a lot of work to do and thought, ‘Why not start a blog?’. I’d been toying with the idea for …
Here We Go Again
In my stocking this year, tucked right at the bottom, was a little pot of ‘Grow Your Own Irises’. Last year, my grandma bought me and Rachel some ‘Grow Your Own Crocuses’ and this is how they turned out. Basically a pot of soil harbouring some greeny blue mould – not a flower in sight. …
Snow Musings
Ah, snow. You either love it or you hate it. The man who gave me a lift back from uni on Friday (and I think I should clarify here that he was a fourth year studying at the uni, I was with my (male) friend, another girl and a male adult who works at the …
Dear Neighbour
Dear Next Door Neighbour, I thought I’d provide you with some feedback about your regular band/solo performances, as I’ve decided that this must be the reason why you play loud enough for us to hear it wherever we are in the house. Lets just say, I think it needs some work. Whilst I occasionally enjoy some …
The Good Samaritan
All of Thursday, all anyone was talking about was the incoming snow. “We’re meant to get 10 inches overnight!”, “I heard some shops are only selling two loaves of bread per person so they don’t run out!”, “I hope we have a snow day so we can spend the whole day having snowball fights and …
Just A Catch Up
So, Christmas is officially over. The decorations are all packed up, the tree ready to be taken away and I’m back at uni. It’s always a strange thing coming home from uni or going back after a holiday. It’s like I’ve got two completely separate lives and I’m switching between them. Both have good things …
Homeless For Christmas
You know there are some people that you just think – “Wow, I wish I could be half the person they are.” Role models are everywhere: a famous athlete, a teacher, your mum; but there are also ordinary people everywhere that do some incredible things and are so selfless whilst doing so. A few weeks …
Dry Feet and Pretty Shoes
I have several pairs of shoes, and the kind I wear most often are the very cheap ones from Tesco or somewhere – about £6, a single colour, with white laces. I had a navy pair last year, but then they broke and became my ‘indoor shoes’ for living in halls. This year, I had …
Catching Up
Ok, ok, I know I haven’t posted in a while *hangs head in shame*, but I’m here now and that’s what counts. I have been busy doing lots of interesting (and not so interesting) things and the blogging just had to slow down for a little bit. So, what have I been up to? Well, …
A Productive Halloween
The 31st of October, Halloween. I’ve never been much of a fan of Halloween and I think the same can be said for the rest of my family. We never really went trick or treating as children because our parents didn’t want to take us and didn’t really like the idea of us knocking on …
