Hallowed be thy season

Hallowed be thy season

It feels wierd to me at times to celebrate Halloween. I never grew up doing so but it’s a yearly thing people seem to get great joy from celebrating. Halloween, a time for costumes, sweets and spooky fun, often feels incongruous when the world is beset by troubles. Hell right now it’s immensely so. How [...]

Step into my bedroom

Step into my bedroom

I have a confession to make. I love sleep, nope I ADORE sleep. I mean, what's not to love about a glorious activity where you get to do absolutely nothing and still feel like a human? As a proud member of the 'Sleep Is Life' club, I’m going for a nap! CREDITS Rebekah outfit from [...]

Gorgeous or Hagrid?

Gorgeous or Hagrid?

Let me confess something. I've spent hours perfecting my Second Life avatar, transforming myself into a dazzling gorgeous bombshell. All the while , just sitting here in my comfy pajamas, resembling Hagrid. It's a peculiar world where I feel stunning as an avatar while my real self is embracing the inner Hagrid in mucky nightie [...]

Ooops never saw that coming!

Ooops never saw that coming!

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you're slogging through Monday, trudging through Tuesday, plodding through Wednesday, and then suddenly, BAM! It's Friday! If you're nodding your head in agreement, welcome to the club. We've all been there. Friday has a knack for sneaking up on us like a ninja in the night, [...]

Make the most of it

The padded cell

The padded cell

Lets get real here, working from home on a Friday afternoon may seem like a recipe for monotony, but it's far from it. I've embraced the madness, and I wear my Friday lunatic badge with pride. I’m literally a lunatic and hey it’s ok. It’s now Friday evening and I was so glad to shut [...]

This will be me

This will be me

This will be me on Saturday 25 November. All dressed up, case in hand as I fly out to Palestine for a week. It’s not a holiday. I’ll be part of a delegation sent to share information about work practices etc and get to learn about the reality of what life is like. Tickets are [...]

Chilling?

Chilling?

It’s Monday, what can I say. That it’s Monday. That really is just it. I’m madly eating my lunch in my break then will go back to my desk. Well not madly eating but more not as slow as I prefer to usually. I’m multitasking writing this and simply for that I’m just kinda special. [...]
