I’ve not kept up with my usual updates for a few weeks due to being busy and under the weather, so I thought I’d check in before unplugging over the festive period. Our Christmas plans are a little up in the air at the moment due to family illness, but we will try to make the best of things.
Just a quick note to say that I am on hiatus for the time being while I mourn the loss of my mum, who passed away on the 20th of January after a brief illness.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Ours was a little different this year, as my mum is in hospital and we’re still waiting on a diagnosis. Thankfully, she was allowed out for Christmas Day and then re-admitted that evening.

I had a fun night out with a couple of friends to an “evening of Burlesque”! I’d never been to anything like that before, but it was fascinating. It’s such a beautiful, empowering artform that celebrates women of all shapes and sizes.
I was working from home on Monday and Tuesday so that I could look after my daughter, as no one else was trained to use her new insulin pump. On Monday evening, we carved and painted our pumpkins. I was quite proud of mine this year.
It’s been a busy but fun week. I’ve been off work and I’m finally feeling better after the flu wiped me out. I spent the first few days at home catching up with chores, reading and watching films with my family. Then I got my hair cut and coloured on Tuesday, which has made me feel human again.
I’m off work this week, which means more time for blogging, reading and writing! Here are this week’s questions, which are all about spooky season.
