I read this book back in the first few months after leaving university. I can’t remember when exactly, and I can’t place a particular reason why this book stayed with me (rather fitting if you’ve read the book), but I remember the story and it’s characters making an impact with me. We follow the relationship … More Book Review: Every Contact Leaves A Trace
It’s been a while since my last post. I haven’t meant it to be, but I’ve been dealing with things, and I had to take a step back from writing, blogging and being me in general. In doing so, I’ve realised just exactly what I want out of life, and I’ve started to make some … More Life Update: March
I started off this year watching Graham Norton, slightly tipsy (understatement) with a craving for bacon on my lips. We had frequented the local Wetherspoons for a little tipple and some hearty food beforehand, thinking that it would/ could only lead onto bigger and better things. In reality, we ended up nearly napping in our … More Hello 2018
Dear me, Are you even reading this when you’re meant to be reading it? Or have you left it to the last minute, thirty minutes before someone quizzes you on it and you have to remeber what you read on sparknotes? Is it even daytime outside, or did you wake-up at 4pm again? Did you … More A Letter to my Student Self
This time of year is everything to me. I don’t know whether it’s because it’s my birthday in October, or whether it’s because of Halloween (aka THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER) but this time of year is just the shizz. The ABSOLUTE shizz. I don’t know about you, but is there really anything better than putting … More Autumn Walks
On Wednesday we went to Brompton Cemetary and IT WAS THE BEST DARN FUN I HAVE HAD THIS SUMMER. Is that wrong to say about a cemetary? Those guys really know how to partay. No. No. It wasn’t like that, that’s not why it was good. It was good because I felt like myself again, … More Brompton Cemetary
Not a lot happened this week, just my trip on Wednesday to Brompton Cemetary. I’ve been feeling pretty crappy hence the lack of photographs, but I’m hoping next week I’ll have more! This week has been a lot of, “I should be doing this” or “I should be doing that” and putting everything off instead … More A Week in Photos: 11th – 17th September
I first picked up The Vegetarian by Han Kang back in October 2016. I immersed myself into the book, drawn in by the rich language and ideas of the body, nature and art. I owe my M.A. to Han Kang and Deborah Smith for indirectly imparting on me that I don’t need to write sci-fi … More Book Review: Han Kang’s ‘Human Acts’
Below is part two of a short piece of fiction I wrote as part of my university Masters degree. I thought it would be cool to share sections of it on the blog weekly, as a sort of serial piece. Let me know what you think of it! Hope everyone has a great Friday! Part … More Naked: Part Two
Our third day in Kyoto was short and sweet. I can’t remember why, but I think it had something to do with the HEAT. Oh my god, have you ever been in such sweltering heat that you would literally give up everything to become one with a zillion ice-cubes?? Yeah, me too. This day must … More Kyoto Part Three
