To Everyone Asking “Am I The Only One That Hasn’t Watched Game of Thrones?”

April 15, 2019

No. You're not. You really don't need to keep asking every year when a new series comes on. But don't worry! This is the last season of Game of Thrones! Loads of people it seems from my social media claim they "haven't seen a single minute" of the HBO show Game of Thrones and do you know what? No one cares. The fans of the show don't care that you haven't seen it, nor do the actors, directors, writers or anyone involved in the show. No one cares that you haven't seen it. Finally, your ... Read more

Felix at Six Months

April 4, 2019

We've had a son for six months! How time has flown from his birth on 4th October 2018 to now. Honestly some of these months are firmly in a fog of sleep deprivation, bleakness, tears and frustration but mostly it's been a very happy six months. Adjusting to life as a family of four has been hard. It's much harder to do it without a car which is something I never really gave much thought to when we were a three.

Evermore Book Review 6/52

March 24, 2019

Evermore is the sequel to Everless and was a good read for my 2019 challenge. I read the book pretty quickly as I wanted to know where it was going but I felt the second book was a little rushed which was a bit of a shame really. The first book really built up the story and shared lots of interesting turns where the second was very fast paced and actually I feel like it ended far too quickly. I would have loved to see more of the history and learn more about the backstory and I ... Read more
