It was about time I dipped my toes into Karin Slaughter again. I got this book for Christmas, and I thought with today (29.3.20) being so gloomy and rainy, that it was the perfect time to read. I also didn’t wake till 11:30am because I’d been awake continuously during the night (insomnia) and needed to…

Living Through the COVID-19 Pandemic Week 2 – 21st-27th March
Day Four – Saturday 21st March It’s Saturday! Hurray! But wait, social distancing…great! I actually got up really late on Saturday morning, well past 9am. I had this nightmare that had woken me up at 5:30am. In my nightmare I had a pet bearded dragon and we were playing together. Suddenly the bearded dragon lunged…

3 Fact Book News – 20/02/2020
Another week that is passing much quicker than I would like! It’s also another action packed one. I just wish it would stop raining! I also wish the air pressure would lift a little, I’m getting sick of the headache pain. There is only so much a paracetamol can do before I have to give…
