Here we are, the last month of the year! December holds mixed emotions for me, in some ways I love it and in others I hate it. The month started with a visit to Belton House to see their illuminations with a friend, it was a fab way to start December, despite it being quite foggyContinue reading “December 2023 – Nearly There”

September 2023 – Go, go, go
I found September really hard on both a physical and emotional level. I knew going into the month would be a busy one, with uni inductions for new students and back into the grind of lecturing, I love doing all of this so was also quite excited to see the students again. Having lectured upContinue reading “September 2023 – Go, go, go”
June 2023 – Veil of Sadness
For most of June, I felt like I had a veil of sadness draped over me, there is no reason for this, I just felt sad. I started the month with a short road trip with a friend to get a much-waited tattoo, now, I know that tattoos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea! This recentContinue reading “June 2023 – Veil of Sadness”
May 2023 – Re-Health
May was a bit of a non-month really, not sure why! Just felt like I was on the hamster wheel of life with no way to get off it! Lecturing was still in full swing at the uni with another couple of months to go as well…Firecracker was generating a steady amount of work too.Continue reading “May 2023 – Re-Health”
April 2023 – Starting Over
April was a big month as it felt like one door was finally closing and another was opening. The first 6 days were spent preparing for my operation. I wasn’t sure how much mobility I would have, so I wanted to ensure that I had plenty of meals and food prepped just in case IContinue reading “April 2023 – Starting Over”
February 2023 – The final goodnight
I’ve delayed writing February’s blog post as I know I will find it emotional, but here goes!! The month started with another physio session on my knee, when I say physio session, no hands-on physical physio was done – it was mainly me saying that despite resting it and doing the exercise given to meContinue reading “February 2023 – The final goodnight”
December 2023 – Time to breathe
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”
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”
