What an absolute nightmare... Firstly there's the finding one-scrolling job adverts is possibly the most depressing thing and akin to grazing your knee at the beginning of a winter hockey lesson outside and then having to keep going for a whole hour whilst the shin pad rides up on your frozen legs and presses on … Continue reading Getting a job

Popping in
For September I have been walking a lot. 108 miles to be exact. Some of these miles have been walked along beautiful beaches and others through dewy, light glimmering woodland picking up red and gold leaves and conkers as we went. Others were spent pacing out the days anxieties and stresses with a friend in … Continue reading Popping in
Protect yourself
Feels like a strap line for contraception or a seat belt or maybe just a health checkup...if it isn't already then maybe I am better at this marketing malarkey than I knew. Move over #madmen its #madjen (doesn't quite have the same ring to it) Every now and again I have a bit of a … Continue reading Protect yourself
On the fringe thoughts’
So this blog is dedicated to my fringe, which is non-conformist and seems to BE not at all affected by any current trends or fashion. Instead it is on a quest to live a life that epitomises freestylin'. Here is what I imagine it is thinking... Me: I am going to take some time this … Continue reading On the fringe thoughts’
The friendship I grieve
Dear old friend, You and I have been there through so much. And now you are not there. But you haven't died, we just no longer speak. We didn't fall out-or I don't think we did. But we haven't spoken in years. No one thing is to blame, or person, or even situation. Which I … Continue reading The friendship I grieve

We arrived tired and I was nervous about how I would find it, how Faith would get on-she's been … Continue reading Weekend Away
Grief is a bitch
I feel the need to just add a bit of an introduction to this post. I am not currently struggling with grief, well nothing recent. But in the last few weeks I have seen friends and family entangled by it through losing a loved one, a job, the ending of a dream/hope. Although I am … Continue reading Grief is a bitch
A body is a thing that should do
'A body is something that should never be described' she said firmly. 'That way lies insanity. A body is a thing that should do' Caitlin Moran 'How to be famous' Bodies. They get talked about a lot; assessed, analysed, critiqued, judged, loved, admired, disgusted by, obsessed with. Most of this is quite distant from me … Continue reading A body is a thing that should do
September fresh start
So in many ways my life isn't changing at all tomorrow (the start of September). I am not starting a new job, or a new course...or anything really. There is no need (sadly) to buy new stationary or a work coat/shoes. But I am taking it as a fresh start...here are my plans; Nighttime Digital … Continue reading September fresh start
An ode of gratitude to Parks and Crackers
I mean it You guys rock, take a bow, you small but amazing wonders. This summer has reminded me that you, my friends, are lifesavers. And lifesavers is the right word-you were there at the beginning of my walking and eating life and you are still here now. Like the circle of life, instead of … Continue reading An ode of gratitude to Parks and Crackers
