It’s now been a month since my depression kicked off, and I am eventually going to reveal why. On the 4th February, my Mum passed away. As a rule, she loathed social media, but after the funeral last week, I think she wouldn’t mind me posting the eulogy that I wrote and read out during […]
Continue ReadingThe Coronavirus: A not-so-shimmering sum-up of a needy little nuisance…..
All we’ve been hearing about so far? The Coronavirus. Now, before I start this, I want to make it transparently clear that my entry is not here to offend. It is not being penned to be judgmental or accusatory. It is supposed to make people laugh, give some emotional support in these testing, upsetting, and […]

Nutty introduction, right? Don’t worry, I’ll fill you in later.

It’s been a hard month, a really hard month, and I know, with 100% certainty, that the emotions will keep whirling inside me for a long time. On a later post, I’ll actually be in more of a state to share what’s happened. For now, getting out my feelings on here will have to do. […]

Continue ReadingIt’s not just raining inside my head, it’s a f****** storm, and everything is flying at me….
As you’ve probably noticed, this entry is not going to be one filled with glittery unicorns, chocolate sauce poured over ice cream or any other kind of positive image. Oh well. I have to tell the truth on my blog, and the truth is that I have never felt so utterly alone….not in the outside […]
Continue ReadingAre Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy emails the new fanfiction fad? Well, it’s definitely mine!
In the summer of 2004, I sent an email as Harry Potter. My friend replied, as Draco Malfoy. A little down the line, we put the emailing behind us. She had her life. I had mine. It was a cluttered time, filled with school, homework, family. The years moved on, but I had never forgotten […]
Continue ReadingMy 1920s – 1960s haircut, starring my vintage bob! (and I’m not talking about my Dad….)
Recently, my mood has fluctuated day-to-day, but one thing never changed….. I was so excited for a new haircut, a past-eras happy haircut. Today was the day. I’d found some pictures of who I wanted to look like, including The Marvellous Maisel, and Keira Knightley from The Imitation Game….. Over the years, for personal reasons, […]
