A brief and honest post about my mental health, and the little ways my windowsill is helping to nurture it.

Jenny Green Teeth
For one of my first university assignments, I had to write two short stories. They had to contemporise some element of myth, setting it in the now.

Blue Monday
A nice bit of pathetic fallacy to kick start the gloomiest day of the year in Portsmouth. Très bleak. To top it all I've awoken with a stinker of a cold. But, we mustn't dwell! To combat this miserable Monday, I'm going to use a technique from wonderful blogger Katie Brennan and hashtag some happiness through… Continue reading Blue Monday

On arriving, dodging the many bikes and cars squeezing through this bit of… Continue reading Monkey Madness.

Arriving in Bali. Having just finished five months of backpacking around Australia (which you will get to read about all in good time), I was more than ready for a 30 day stay on Bali and Gili Gede. I'd booked the majority of my accommodation before I even left the UK, wanderlust and excitement totally… Continue reading Bali Beginning
A Griffith Sunday
Today began with a very sleepy start encouraged by a few Jim Beams last night and the fact my cleaning work today had been cancelled! However on my way back from the bathroom this morning I was asked if I wanted a few hours work and so ended up packing oranges on a farm just… Continue reading A Griffith Sunday
