I am drinking my first cup of tea since the start of all this lockdown madness (mainly because I couldn’t get my hands on any milk for ages and then I got very distracted by my coffee machine), and, honestly, I’d forgotten all about its healing powers. I’ve had a few dilemmas over the past…
Corona Diaries: The TV shows I wish I’d saved for lock down
Hello everyone! I’m not even going to try to tell you what day of isolation it is for me. I can’t be bothered to do the maths. Before I launch into a list of recommendations for you, here are some of my lock down highlights since I last posted (no idea when that was either):…
Corona Diaries: Day Nineteen (I think…)
Wednesday marked my first day as a “furloughed worker”, meaning that I now have no idea whether it’s a weekday or the weekend. In an attempt to distract myself from this lack of structure, I have cleaned and organised my flat to the point that it now looks better than the day I first moved…
Corona Diaries: Day Eleven
Where do I start? I’m on day eleven of isolation. You probably are too. On Monday 16th March I came down with a fever and things kind of spiralled from there. I spent seven days in self-isolation feeling rather unwell, watching really cheesy films and having to make my own soup because I couldn’t demand…
Why “discovery” is my word for 2019
It’s getting to that time of year where I usually write down a ridiculously long list of the things I want to change during the year ahead. My resolutions for 2018 were adhered to for approximately two weeks before I forgot them completely. So, this New Year, I am choosing just one word that I…
What you should be watching tonight
We all know that I’m a bit of a Netflix addict with the odd cinema visit. Well, I’ve now ventured into the world of Amazon Prime Video as well so you can expect even more posts from me that start with “I’m addicted to…”. I always have a dig at my other half, telling him…
Thoughts on a heatwave
I don’t care how many times you’ve heard this now, but it’s bloody boiling isn’t it? I came back from my holiday in Spain a few weeks ago expecting (and hoping for, I won’t lie) cooler weather. What else would you expect when heading back to the UK? NOT FOR IT TO BE JUST AS…
My dream trips (that I haven’t already done)
As the first few weeks of summer speed past us, I have been getting more and more excited about my upcoming holidays. My first ever trip to Spain and a Thanksgiving break in New York are on the cards this year (and perhaps another last minute trip somewhere in between). My growing excitement for these…
What the hell has Laura been up to?
I realise that I have been fairly quiet on this blog lately. So if you’ve been wondering what I have been up to (which I’m sure you all have…) this post is going to act as a brief life update. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll have a vague idea of what’s been going…
Confession of a true crime addict
I have no idea why but in recent months I have become a little addicted to true crime stories. And when I say a “little”, I really mean that it’s become so noticeable that my boyfriend is now creeping around our flat wondering if I am, in fact, reading up on methods to dispose of…
