The Food Diaries (Part II)

I think I had a little too much fun last week with all the celebrations going on.. It was my friend’s birthday on Monday, then my flatmate’s birthday on Tuesday and then Valentine’s Day on Friday. There was some drinking involved, but the worst BEST part of it was all the food. Mostly dessert. There were …

Romance: I Peed in a Café

Once we get over the artifice, the Americanisation, of Valentine’s Day we can start looking at the bizarre V Day merchandise which fits pace and parcel (and a nice pink bow) with the whole Love thing.

What do you love?

This week I have been asked to link with the study what you love blog  – which is helpful actually because I’m on placement so my life is my course. Seriously. Placement takes over everything. So if I didn’t love it I’d be in trouble. My Story I’m a bit unusual in that I decided …

There is even a game available on the app store that recently topped the ‘paid for’ chart. Personally, I am a big …

Soundtrack to my life/ happy new year!

Superpowers & Chinese New Year

“If you had a superpower, what would it be?” My answer to this question was always either to be able to fly or to be invisible. However the longer I am in university I find myself wanting a different kind of superpower. I want, no sorry NEED an eidetic memory kind of like Mike Ross …
