The first half of December was counting down the days until I could have some time off as I had been for most of November! During this time I also applied for a new role at the university for a seconded position to replace a colleague who had recently moved to a different role withinContinue reading “December 2023 – Time to breathe”

November 2022 – Friendship Matters
November seemed to go by in a blur of working and sleeping. Not much to say about this month as it’s been all about getting my head down and working! I’m not one for wishing days away, however halfway through the month, I started counting down the days until I could rest, not just theContinue reading “November 2022 – Friendship Matters”
October 2022 – Trusting Your Gut
October, where do I start?!! Like all the other months of the year, it seemed to whizz by in a blink of an eye, probably doesn’t help that from around the 10th October I’ve been lecturing full time at the Uni as well as continuing to run Firecracker, 60 hour weeks are the norm atContinue reading “October 2022 – Trusting Your Gut”
September 2022 – Emotional Rollercoaster
Another month down and I don’t really know where this month has gone if I’m honest! As I type this I’m looking back at my calendar pages of what I did last month and some of the things feel like a lifetime ago. I got to spend time with friends who are near and farContinue reading “September 2022 – Emotional Rollercoaster”
August 2022 – Breathing Space
At the beginning of August had a holiday, which might not sound much to some but it is the first holiday I’ve had in about seven years, it is not because I don’t mind holidays, I do, it’s just circumstances that have prevented me from going away. I went to the north coast of ScotlandContinue reading “August 2022 – Breathing Space”
July 2022 – Limbo & Overwhelm
For many years I’ve always found July a tough month, it’s my birthday month which hasn’t always been happy for me. However, this year I was determined to do things differently so that I could change my birthday experiences. It’s taken me a while to write this month’s blog post mainly as there isn’t thatContinue reading “July 2022 – Limbo & Overwhelm”
Monday 1st August 2022
A year after I started this blog, I’m not really sure how I’m feeling! I’ve found it really cathartic to record my daily musings but am disappointed that what I set out to do all those days ago I haven’t really done. I do feel like I have moved forward in some areas of myContinue reading “Monday 1st August 2022”
Friday 29th July 2022
Post 364… Well I made it though the year, not how I expected but made it thorough nonetheless. I’m lying here in bed with my friend in a hotel after a lovely meal & catch up and now we are ready for sleep as we’ve got an early start in the morning. Been at theContinue reading “Friday 29th July 2022”
Thursday 28th July 2022
The day panned out much the same as yesterday as I attended 2 more graduation ceremonies, a little more emotional today as I witnessed some of the students I lectured graduate! It was so lovely to see them in their gowns & caps. Well, I’ve done it! I’ve entered the marathon I mentioned a fewContinue reading “Thursday 28th July 2022”
Wednesday 27th July 2022
Skipped the gym this morning as felt so tired from my late night watching the Women’s Euro football. Today I experienced a graduation for the first time from an academic point of view rather than as a graduating student (although I’ve only done this once anyway) & I did find it quite emotional if I’mContinue reading “Wednesday 27th July 2022”
