Let’s see how quickly I can sum up my current situation. I have one more day until my residence card expires and still nothing arrived in today’s post. I applied almost a year ago for settled status and was just recently told to please continue to wait patiently as my type of application is complicated.… Continue reading Staying Positive
Well here I am months later only having written one post since my promise to write more regularly. In that time I did actually start a few, including this one, but I never seem to get around to finishing and publishing them. My excuse this time might be more valid but I can’t say I… Continue reading My Whole World
I can’t believe how behind I am with the Classics Club Challenge. Not only haven’t I wrote about a few books that I have read from my list, there are so many books I haven’t read yet and there is less than a year left for me to do so. I suppose the only thing… Continue reading The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
It’s been over a year since I last posted. When the lockdown started, I thought to myself how I’d have plenty of time to get back to writing. I was furloughed from work at the end of March which was not surprising as a language school whose students are almost all from outside the country is… Continue reading Mañana, Mañana
Yesterday I woke up happy, excited even. I was going to see you again.
Everyone has moments that make them really think about how they’ve ended up where they are. Is this where you are meant to be? Should you have chosen “B” instead of “A”? Life isn’t easy or simple. When I was younger, I didn’t think about how one seemingly small decision would change the rest of… Continue reading Stick or Twist?
It took me a while to get through this book and it has taken me even longer to sit down and write about it. Many of the things that were running through my head as I read and felt inspired to write about have seemingly disappeared into that dark corner of my brain with all… Continue reading Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
As I mentioned in Busy Bee, my free time all but disappeared in September. More recently, since all the excitement and nervousness that came with being in a new situation faded away, I’ve sometimes felt like I’m living a boring version of Groundhog Day. Wake up, go to work, complete the same tasks as last… Continue reading Downward-Facing Dog Chasing Its Tail
This is a strange one for me. Looking back to when I finished Wuthering Heights a couple of months ago, I did enjoy it and I’m happy I finally got around to reading it. That being said, I can’t think of one character, possibly with the exception of the narrator, that I actually liked throughout… Continue reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
I must admit I haven’t read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but I’m sure my mom still has the Disney adaptation of it with Jonathan Taylor Thomas on VHS. I decided to skip the book for the challenge because I vaguely remembered the basic story line from the film. Luckily, Twain reminds you of what… Continue reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
