Stepping back into time

I recently finished reading Oliver Burkeman’s book Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It*. It is a book that has hit a certain zeitgeist, I came across it on two separate reading lists, not to mention James Todd Rubin wrote an entire blog post about it. What’s interesting is that I that I...

Today I got stabbed: the wonder of vaccines

by Suzie

Today I got my second shot of the Pfizer vaccine. The whole thing was extremely efficient. I am expecting to feel a few side-effects later, but it’s worth it to know that I have vastly reduced my chances of being hospitalised with Covid-19, as well as generally reduced my chances of catching it and passing...

The ‘unprecedented’ year+

by Suzie

I’m back! I realise nobody is following along with this blog anymore — unless you subscribed to it in an RSS reader, in which case, hello! It’s been a strange year (and it isn’t over). Words like ‘unprecedented’ got thrown around a lot at the start, but in all truth it wasn’t really unprecedented. People...

Weekly Reflections #6

by Suzie

Goodness, but life is busy! Trying to balance all the different elements is quite a trick. Somehow we must: Work a job to earn money and, perhaps, if we’re lucky, to experience some kind of fulfilment. Carry out all the maintenance tasks of life, such as laundry, cooking, shopping, washing up, gardening and so forth....

Weekly Reflections #4

Oof, it’s been a while. But that’s life. It always gets in the way of my best intentions somehow. But the important thing is to pick back up where you left off and keep going. In no particular order: I went on holiday. I got to see manatees and thunderstorms and dolphins. The world is...

Weekly Reflections #3

by Suzie

In no particular order: Less than one week until I am in the USA! How exciting. I’m going to get to see mangrove forests and alligators and ALL SORTS. I am currently making this black bean and chicken soup with leftover roast chicken. It’s so easy. And I always feel properly domesticated when I use...

In no particular order: I freaking love Final Fantasy 7 and I am so stoked for the remake. But do I buy a PS4? Or do I hope the PS5 comes out before the game? Because it seems pretty clear that future parts will be for the PS5, right? Yeesh, gaming is so confusing. I...

The lure of the blank slate

by Suzie

I am sitting at my small desk, looking out the window at a cloudless blue sky. The heat wave has faded a little around the edges, leaving a breezy 22° summer day behind. And I am musing on this blog, on writing, on money, on new beginnings. Blogs have evolved over the past decade or...

Stressful days and learning to look after myself

by Suzie

I wasn’t sure about writing this post. My blog is all about how to be a grown-up, it’s about how to handle everything life throws at you. Surely, therefore, I need to write about how my life is totally together? But, to be honest, the blogs I like to read are the ones where the...

Show Real Blogs – Sharing real life!

by Suzie

Really liked this idea for Show Real Blogs by Kate at Kate on Thin Ice! The idea is to share stories about your ‘real’ life, as opposed to the ‘highlights’ reel we often share on social media. So, I am currently trying to renew my rental contract for my lovely apartment. I have a great...
