We just had our 2nd wedding anniversary and annual Halloween extravaganza. I am definitely getting old though because I had to go to sleep twice. Maybe I just have to accept that Halloween needs to become chill instead of an energy-packed marathon, because I lack that energy despite how much Halloween fuels me. As it's … Continue reading Happy Halloween y’all

I’ll definitely stop talking about DNA now
I'm unwell at the moment and can't sleep at sensible times, so I spent hours on GEDmatch using loads of different tools. Every time I got a hit for an ethnic group, I highlighted (in purple) the modern country they are/were based in. This is the end result. You might have to open it … Continue reading I’ll definitely stop talking about DNA now
Married 1 year!
On Halloween we went down to the restaurant where we had our wedding reception exactly a year prior, and had a very nice dinner. There's always something tangible in the air on the 31st itself. We had to avoid the motorway due to issues with the car, so we drove through so many beautiful … Continue reading Married 1 year!
Celebrating our first year of marriage!
In the morning we watched a film called 3-Headed Shark Attack because it was on telly and it was, uh, bad. Here are some more photos from recent times. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Cmvfzhmkm/ Well it's nice that the party is out the way and I can decompress a bit. I drank enough … Continue reading Celebrating our first year of marriage!
Headspace
Recently I've felt like there's not enough space in my head. When my injections wear off I end up with constant background migraines which cause a lot of head burning, and an intense swelling feeling, along with nausea and visual disturbances, even if I'm not crying and vomiting like I would be during a main … Continue reading Headspace
My new laptop
As readers most likely know, my beloved laptop Anat has sadly become unusable. I also discovered from going through very old posts that I was wrong about when I got her; I've actually had her since 2013, not 2014! Six years is a hell of a long time for a laptop to keep going, she … Continue reading My new laptop
Two weeks married!
Almost three weeks by the time I'm actually writing this. It's fun being married. I know not a lot actually changes day to day, but there's a weird undercurrent of contentment. As I said before, we love all our presents, but the biggest news is probably that we have a dishwasher! It's not a cure-all … Continue reading Two weeks married!
We got married!
Eight years ago, it was 2010 and I met Will. We started dating after 2 days, moved in together after 2 weeks, and into a flat of our own after 2 months. I was hoping we'd continue the pattern and get married in 2 years, but life got in the way. It turned out we … Continue reading We got married!
The amazing hen night 🦈
Or bachelorette party, depending on where you're from. Kadek took me to Sealife London, where they hold an event where you get to drink alcohol and go around the aquarium in the night time, no children allowed! We were given an incredibly fancy room by the hotel. The mattress was so dang thick that it … Continue reading The amazing hen night 🦈
The Nun
As mentioned in my previous post, I went to see The Nun in the cinema on Tuesday and I loved it SO MUCH. The Andover cinema actually stopped showing it, so Jodi drove us both to Basingstoke. Will was ill and at home with Freya, so we got to go in the middle of the … Continue reading The Nun
