Thoughts and Perspectives

Hello! Yes, I’m still alive, despite the radio silence of the past couple of months. It’s that time of year when I will need to renew my Domain Name Registration for another year, along with the Privacy protection policy. I do plan to do these two things, as I want …

It’s been like living in a soap opera for the past 3 years. First, we had (and continue to have) a pandemic to contend with. Then my father-in-law became seriously unwell, during Covid. Sadly, we lost him this Easter, which has been tough on us. Mr Bunny spent the last …

I wanted to give an autumnal update on what’s been happening in my day-to-day life in the past couple of months. The days have rolled by and I’ve been silent on here for a while now. I didn’t intend for it to be so long, but it’s all too easy …

The title of this post will probably give some indication as to what I’m going to reveal here. Back in October, I wrote about my new role as a carer. I knew it was going to be a tough few months ahead, what with the pandemic, and it being winter. …

Have you ever done anything mischievous with or to your partner? The most mischievous thing we’ve done is have sex whilst staying with friends of my hubby’s before we married, whilst we were all sharing the lounge. In terms of actual activities, the most naughty thing we’ve done is play …

This post is about consent. It’s an important one, for me personally, as I am trying to instil in my daughter the message that consent is paramount. Always. She’s far too young for any adult activities that require consent, but I extend the same logic to her playtime with her …

I didn’t want to write another sad post, because I feel like I’ve done that a fair amount recently. However, because I’ve been quiet on here lately and on Twitter, I wanted to say why. It’s not because I don’t care or don’t have much to say. It’s just that …
