I’m a little bit stuck on what to write about this week…. In lots of ways its been quiet compared to my normal, and in other ways, not at all! I guess this will just be rambling thoughts for now.

I have been pondering the fact that I am someone that adds a side of complaints to pretty near everything! We all know it, and I think it’s unlikely to change any time soon. I’ve always been a complainer… my mum used to tell me to write a list for her when I was little and pissed off about something. I would write an extensive list filled with all of my gripes, and then sign it off with love.

I do feel like I’m mostly a positive person and I am so aware of the complaining side of me that half the time I’m taking the piss out of myself while I’m laughing about it! This weeks main complaint is about the lingering covid cough that has decided to invade my body… it is driving me (and everyone around me) completely crazy! If anyone has any good suggestions for getting rid of it, please please let me know!

One thing I am not complaining about for now tho, is the change of weather here. We have gone from almost constant rain for a month to icy cold! It’s soo nice to see blue sky for a change, and how nice is it to pull out jumpers and scarves again! I love the cold weather so much more than hot and humid… although neither is particularly great for my hair! …And I will complain about it soon enough I’m sure!

What else can I tell you!?… I probably shouldn’t be left unsupervised for too long or I do crazy things like impulsively get a tattoo! I have seen the image a few times before, I have it saved in my phone at least twice and always liked the shape and the meaning. So when a friend bailed on a catch up the other day and the picture popped up in my newsfeed, I just decided why not! I paid a lot more than I should have – but I got it done there and then. I am now the proud owner of the Sanskrit symbol for breathe on my right arm. My mum is not really impressed, but I love it.

In other news, I have a friend that is trying to set me up on a blind date with a work colleague. I think I’m ok with it – I’ve okayed the passing on of phone numbers anyway, but it does seem weird. The idea of someone knowing both of us and thinking we might be a good match?! I’ll keep you posted on how that all works out! I have also reconnected with an old friend and gone out a couple of times which has been a whole lot of fun and I’m really looking forward to seeing what happens with that! The whole situation feels a bit like juggling at the moment, but it’s also kind of fun!

Between the boys and I there are a couple of big thing in the pipeline, but none of them are ready to be shared yet… watch this space, there are good things coming!
