It’s exactly a month today that I took the day off work and set off in my car to Cambridgeshire to get my second tattoo. As of now, it’s continuing to heal pretty well, though there’s at least one spot that will need touching up – due to what I think was some skin cracking … Continue reading Tattoo number 2: On the root of a fixation
That’s right folks, I finally conned someone into believing I can be trusted behind the wheel. Watch out road users and pedestrians, here I come! Just kidding. I’ve been told I’m a good driver. Which I should be, given I learned on and off for about four and a half years. That many years, four … Continue reading The end of the road: On finally passing my driving test
Credit: Lucas Guimarães/Pexel I got my first tattoo yesterday. A big moment, especially considering that a tattoo is something I’ve wanted for several years. If only vaguely to begin. Still, much as I’ve wanted one and for as long as I’ve wanted one, I was surprised that on the morning of this significant and irreversible event … Continue reading My first tattoo

Life has been a bit chaotic lately. (And when I say that I’m referring only to my personal life, because my uninformed self isn’t going to go anywhere near discussing the current state of the world.) Things haven’t been consistently chaotic, I’ll admit, but certainly enough that it’s been noticeable, especially in retrospect. It’s been … Continue reading In need of occasional adjustment – An update on my 2022 so far

Just a few years ago, in 2018, the TV series first appeared on screens and I quickly became enthralled, soon after finding and reading the inspiring All … Continue reading A Discovery of Witches – The final season approaches
Credit: Mushmushfun/GIPHY This year has very much been one of…inconsistency, for me. Of highs and lows, progress made, and progress lost. To mention a few things, my fitness journey has suffered the occasional setback; I’ve struggled to publish blog content and to make as much progress as I wanted with my other writings; and, I … Continue reading At the end of a rollercoaster: Looking back at 2021
After six years of adventures in the City of Angels (quite literally in this case), our favourite devil finally returned home, and Lucifer came to an end. Six seasons of hunting criminals, will-they-won’t-they romance, familial struggles, and the therapy sessions that aided in it all, which wrapped up with a mostly happy and satisfying ending. … Continue reading Lucifer Season 6 – Spoiler review
“Just keep swimming." One of the many life lessons that Disney has bestowed upon us, and a phrase that's been something of a mantra to me for the past few weeks. It's about mid-July now so we passed the halfway mark of 2021 not long ago, and if you’ve followed my blog long enough then … Continue reading ‘Just keep swimming’ (towards those goals)
Credit: Polina Kovaleva/Pexels Does striving towards a better you ever get any easier? Because I’m starting to think that it doesn’t. It’s been more than a year since I jumped – and stayed – on the New Year’s resolution bandwagon and I have once again reached a point where I'm struggling to continue putting in … Continue reading Hanging in there: An update on my 2021 goals
