Sorry for the recent absence… Between moving and starting my law course, I haven’t had much time to blog! But something struck me recently and I feel compelled to share my opinion about it. Role models. We all have someone, usually a celebrity, we aspire to be more like. Maybe it’s Stephen Fry (in my…

How do you know?
It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves, friends, family, total strangers… How do you know… if she’s the one? … if you’re happy? … if you’re unhappy? …. if it’s over? Usually the answer is ‘if you have to ask, then you know the answer.’
Stephen Fry vs Russia
It’s going a little bit viral at the moment, so you may have seen it already. Stephen Fry, beloved British icon, has written an open letter to the Prime Minister and the members of the International Olympic Committee about banning the proposed Winter Olympics due to be in Russia in 2014.

Where will I be in 3 years?
I’ve been re-watching How I Met Your Mother recently, and amongst many things I’ve pondered as I’ve gone through the episodes (I reckon I could maintain a blog site purely based on HIMYM-isms) this one episode particularly struck me.

A list of things I hate: 1. Mornings 2. Burnt toast 3. Asking for favours I’m moving. So I need all the help I can get, but I simply can’t ask for help…
Make a negative a positive
So, I promised you a new beginnings blog in my last post. Unfortunately, my new beginnings excitement seems to have been dampened a little by some potentially bad news. But instead of moping about the fact that something I really wanted might not be coming to fruition (for now) I decided to challenge myself to a…
Holiday Time: Reading Edition
So myself and Ellen just got back from a 10 day break on the south coast of Spain. There are many types of holiday: sightseeing, hiking, camping, adventure… but the one we went on, was the lazing around doing very little except eating and sleeping holiday. We go on this holiday almost every year. We…
