It appears that February has been a music-driven month for me. I have been listening to instrumental Disney songs throughout the month and watched Sing 2 and have been really enjoying listening to music and feeling the feels that come with it. I've also been grateful for little every day things: electricity, shelter, and food. [...]

October 2021
October has been a super busy month. My motto this month has kind of been "work hard, play hard", as I realise that, sometimes, we can be unhappy not because we are doing too many things we don't like, but because we aren't doing enough of what we do like. I realised that when I [...]
August 2021
August has been a heavy month for me, filled with so many emotions. Life events, a funeral, a wedding, farewells, good byes, reunions. So many emotions all in just one packed month.

The National Gallery
Last weekend we left the flat in the first time in a decade, it seems. We walked to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square and traipsed through the one-way art routes. It was really well organised, mostly, and it was lovely experiencing a little bit of normality for the first time in months. Entry to [...]
August 2019
So this month seems to have been a little like a rollercoaster, a lot has happened, both work-wise and outside of work. I realise as I read back on the days that I talk a lot about food, work, hubby, art/ media, podcasts. I suppose these days I try to focus more on the here [...]
