Do you have rituals that you follow when it comes to reading? This is something that I hadn't thought about until recently when I sat down to read a book and had barely got one paragraph in when I realised that something wasn't right. What was it? I hadn't made a drink. Sounds silly I… Continue reading Reading rituals
Guilty pleasure ‘news stories’
I like to keep up with what is going on in the world. I read or watch the news daily, and whilst I might not be able to talk in depth about all topics (far from it), I do pride myself on having basic knowledge on the important stuff. It's not just the 'regular' news… Continue reading Guilty pleasure ‘news stories’

Early twenties versus late twenties. What’s changed? What’s stayed the same?
I'm 29. My birthday was at the end of February so yes, I am well into my final year of my twenties and fast approaching my thirtieth birthday.

Is a home complete without plants?
In my opinion, no it isn't. I was never particularly interested in having plants. I didn't dislike them or anything, they just weren't something that excited me. Also, given my track record with flowers and how easily I seemed to be able to kill them without even trying, there was a fear that the same… Continue reading Is a home complete without plants?
Is ignorance bliss when it comes to the news?
I can't decide. Well, I say that I can't decide but that isn't strictly true. I do keep up to date on what is going on in the world and I do think that it is important to be informed...but, and this is a very big but, there is a lot to be said for… Continue reading Is ignorance bliss when it comes to the news?
Does a personal message in a book increase the sentimental value and should we all be writing them?
Books are given as gifts all the time aren't they? Sometimes a lot of thought has been put into it, sometimes it is following a request from the recipient, sometimes it is just an impulse buy. The list of reasons goes on and on. I'm sure we have all given and received books as gifts… Continue reading Does a personal message in a book increase the sentimental value and should we all be writing them?
Can you really achieve perfect timekeeping?
What is your timekeeping like? Mine has always been off. When I was younger it was off in the way of me always being stupidly early for everything. I'm not kidding, I would be the person with an appointment at 10am who would turn up at 9.20am and feel foolish hanging around. I worried though,… Continue reading Can you really achieve perfect timekeeping?
