Today I’m attending a graduation ball*. It’s my second one. Last time I was graduating with my MSci in Physics and I knew basically the entire graduating class. This year, most of us who picked up MScis last time around are now collecting their PhDs. Seriously, most of them – although several went to other… Continue reading Grad ball outfit plans
A while ago I signed up for Bike&Go, a scheme which allows you to rent bikes outside train stations. On my first trip, we cycled the short distance to The Milk Barn, a local dairy where you can buy homemade ice cream. On my second trip, we’d planned to go to Linlithgow, a town about… Continue reading I made it to Linlithgow!
For the past couple of months, I’ve been writing monthly roundups, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. So far, I like the idea. It’s a bit like a status report and I do love any opportunity to monitor… well… anything, really. So, without any further ado, here’s my May round up: Financial status: Not bad, given… Continue reading May roundup
As usual, this month I’ve been going out of my way to try new things. It’s a habit I strongly recommend and I always enjoy looking back at the end of the month to see what I’ve been able to try. This month I’ve tried: 1. Visiting Croatia! We spent a week on… Continue reading New things I tried in May
I didn’t think I missed having a garden. Before I lived in Glasgow I lived with my family and we’d always had a garden but when I moved I lived in shared flats and never did. Sometimes we’d have a shared garden or yard area, but never anything that was allocated to just one particular… Continue reading The simple privilege of having a garden
Last month I noticed that two of my favourite bloggy friends (Gordon at Happily Imperfect and Siobhan and Siobhan Claude van Damme) were posting monthly round ups. I already have my habit of posting about new things I try each month, but this is a little different. It appeals to my love of generating and… Continue reading March round up
I recently turned 28. This is much older than my 6-year-old self could ever have imagined but it has happened anyway. Just like my 6-year-old self would have hoped, however, I got spoiled rotten. Quite aside from dinners out and cake and things, I managed to collect one or two lovely little treats. No doubt… Continue reading Birthday treats
Last year I ran a series of blog posts, once a month, in which I listed 5 new things I’d tried in the previous month. It meant I was always looking out for new things to try, however big or small and that I could always look back on what I’d been getting up to… Continue reading New things I tried in January
I vaguely remember hearing about bullet journals about a year ago but at the time I just never got around to looking into how they worked. Plus, I didn’t know anyone who actually used one, so I couldn’t just ask a friend over coffee. So I let it lie until, naturally enough, I saw some… Continue reading Starting my Bullet Journal
Way back in October my mum called to inform me that this year we would be doing a Christmas Eve box. She’s an organised lady, so thinking about these things in October is exactly her style. She said to think about any games or films, or anything else, that I might like to put in… Continue reading Christmas Eve box
