What a state

Genuine question: Is there a more incompetent profession than estate agents? If there is one, I'm pretty confident I will do everything in my power to avoid them. Picture the scene, you've planned to move home to a new area so arrange a couple of viewings for the same day - wanna make the most …

New Year, Same old me

I hate New Year. OK, so the new year has started and I'm starting off with another moaning post. The solar system was great enough to tell us that we have day and night, and also a year. What it didn't tell us is when the new year starts. Day and night are good enough …

Meat-Free Christmas

Lol no. It might have been a Monday, but meat was eaten. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without turkey, sausage meat stuffing, pigs in blankets - or in my case naked pigs as I don't like bacon. It's not been the best kept secret that Christmas falls on a Monday this year, so I've had a …

Two Tree Family

I've started to notice a growing Christmas trend, the two tree family. People have more than one Christmas tree in their house. Why? Do you expect Father Christmas to leave presents under both trees? Do you have the one in the window really well decorated to impress the neighbours but a grim one in your …

Offensive food

I'd like to thank a fellow train passenger for affecting my journey enough to prompt to my write today's post.   I was recently on a train mid-morning. Boarded at 9.45 scheduled arrival was 12 noon. To me, this would suggest breakfast has been consumed and dinner can be expected after arrival, but oh no, …

When are you really an adult?

Again today's post is less of a rant and more of an observation, or maybe even a slight confusion. At what age are you an adult? Ask a 16-year-old if they are an adult and they will boldly assert they are an adult. They can join the army, get married, but they can't vote, so …

#NailArt

In a rare twist of fate, nothing has annoyed me enough this week for me to consider it something for me to write a blog about. Maybe I've found my inner zen? Or maybe I've covered every topic possible and reaching my blogaversary (that's a thing right?) will become increasingly difficult. Luckily, I have some …

I Got A Grad Job

Right, so it is a short post today, as my life is busy with my graduate job. Yeah, that's right, I'm one of those ex-students that has spent her summer earning rather than travelling, or job hunting to no end. I would make this a brag post about how great my job is, but I'll …

What’s Wrong With Water?

It has come to my attention people aren't happy with plain old water. Don't get me wrong, I do like squash. In fact, I like a good variety of squashes and tend to alternate between and orange coloured squash and a pink/red coloured squash, but I can also appreciate water. When I ask for water …

Meat-Free Monday; a Month on the farm

It has been a while since I have updated you on the progress on Meat-Free Monday. For those of you new to my blog all - check out previous Meat-free Mondays posts. To start with some good news I am still going! May was a bit of a blip - a lot of celebrating the end …
