Hello again world, it’s been a long, long time since I’ve been able to post anything (depsite my promise to myself of one blog a week), but I’m finally back on the blogging band wagon. It turns out, my timing couldn’t be more perfect, since it’s International Women’s Day and I’ve been itching to write…

Before I start, let’s address the obvious elephant in the room… it’s a new year, it’s a new me (it’s not) and it’s time to make some resolutions. Like all good resolutions, I’m going to start with something that seems achievable but will inevitably fail anyways… in 2019, I resolve to show my blog some…

It’s New Year’s Eve. I’m 25 years old. And I’m staying in and eating pizza tonight. I realise this sounds a little like an AA intro but I’m going to roll with it anyways. Hi, I’m Emma and I’m opting out of NYE 2018. I know how sad this sounds. But before you roll out…

Flaky though I may be when it comes to keeping my blog up to date, I didn’t renege on my promise to read one whole book in October. This month, I took my second foray into the world of non-fiction with what’s now up there as one of my new favourite books… Humans: A Brief…

I’ve been shamefully neglectful of both my blog and my books in the past few weeks. What’s taken the place of my regular reading and writing habits? The Evening Standard puzzle section is 110% to blame. Because my 84-years-old-on-the-inside self has become addicted to a good Crossword/ Codeword/ Gogen, I’ve been dedicating all of my train time…

I know, this sounds like the oxymoron of the century, but hear me out – all will be revealed… For want of a better introduction, I’m going to start with a mini English lesson, with a little help from the good old dictionary and its friend the thesaurus. The word “careless” is defined as: “not…

How do you write an introduction to a monthly blog when you can’t even remember where the time went? That’s how I’m feeling right now. Ever get that feeling that the month’s gone on for a year but it’s also flown by in a matter of minutes? With that in mind, remembering all the details…
