Thoughts and Perspectives

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. …

It’s been about a month since I last posted, and in that time I have mainly been working. I was put on furlough from my retail job during November’s lockdown. During that period I picked up extra care shifts. At the start of December, I returned to my retail job …

I’ve been relatively quiet on here over the past month- 6 weeks. There are several reasons for this. In mid-October, my Nan passed away, at the age of 93. I hadn’t seen her a lot in recent years and certainly not since the Covid outbreak. Part of the reason I’d …

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 …

This week has been one from a nightmare. On Monday, our builder returned for the second time to try and do some remedial work on our dining floor, which had lifted in February. That was less than 6 months after it had been laid. He had already come on the …

Here is another lyrical gem I wrote recently. It’s not about me. It’s about my daughter, asking for treats. Best imagined in an upbeat Carly Rae Jepsen tempo. 😉 I’ve been good today, I’ve been good today! I’ve been good today; can I have a treat? I’ve been good today, …
