I don't think I suddenly stopped being able to remember in my thirties... I think I suddenly realised how many methods I'd relied upon to cope with a bad memory. How many times I'd blamed alcohol for failing to remember the most simple of facts about my friends. How many times I'd glanced at the… Continue reading Memory loss or awareness gain?

Twonk! CAKE! Youuuuu jammy mollusc...
Musings from a primary school teacher.
Who also happens to be a functioning addict, manic depressive oddball with a whimsical grasp on reality.
Will that do as an introduction?

Beware the mindThat saw peaceful as goldenBut was constantly taughtIdle hands were a sin Looking out for attentionBut only at the right partsHoping nobody noticedThat human within.

Another few years older 🎶
There was a song that always spoke to me as a tween: "can anybody hear her" by Casting Crowns. The lyrics are depressing. "another few years older and a few more steps behind" was a prominent line that brought tears to my eyes whenever I came to a crossroads in life. It came to mind… Continue reading Another few years older 🎶
Every employed human in Britain is in an abusive relationship…
...with their employer. (And probably the government, but lets not split hairs. Just ask any woman who has been emotionally abused (women have traditionally been more aware of these things). There are obvious signs that anyone would recognize, we know these red flags. There are also low level hidden signs. On their own they don't… Continue reading Every employed human in Britain is in an abusive relationship…
Lockdown took my hobby… But not my sanity!
Now let me begin by saying I have not had it bad. I am in a much better position than most. Doesn't mean I don't feel a sense of loss. Socialising was my hobby. Going out was my hobby. Its not that I didn't enjoy other things, it's that my FOCUS was socialising. I didn't… Continue reading Lockdown took my hobby… But not my sanity!
Nature
Something I like to do in my spare time is sit and look at nature. I used to hate it. The outside. Because I was scared. And I have heightened sense of number touch. The feel of outside has hd the potential to both soothe but also disregulate me. As a child I was forced… Continue reading Nature
Growth is constant.
I have walked out the back of my mum's house every day for a month. It's not a busy route and really only provides access and walking to those who live on her road, down to the forest behind. It's been a wet couple of weeks so only those with dogs go back there at… Continue reading Growth is constant.
The 4 day working week.
I read this piece online suggesting a 4 say working week was the way forward and wanted to share my thoughts... I think it also needs to address cognitive load, which differs from person to person. And the reimbursement focus for the work being achieved. I.e the way salaries are paid. Yes we would all… Continue reading The 4 day working week.
All I wanted was a pair of trainers
I've recently become more interested in wearing trainers as casual footwear. Some girls are into trainers. Or fashion. I am not one of those girls. I'm interested in so far as I have an idea what sort of thing I like the look of and thats about it. Some time ago I bought a pair… Continue reading All I wanted was a pair of trainers
Three societies, one country
I'm not an economics student, I'm very much an educated tourist to economics. I really hope someone more important than me has thought of this and knows more about why it wouldn't work. Here's my idea: We let Scotland be Scotland. We give back Wales, we give Ireland a choice. Major parties take control of… Continue reading Three societies, one country
