I've been meaning to write more 'heart' posts but its tough, sometimes I plan to write something and then get weird, upset, or I get all in my head and can't get words down, so I don't write, or I just feel like I'm being too open maybe? Or that its too far since then to be relevant (because it feels like...
Many weeks ago, not long after I had come out of hospital I wrote about some of the little things that were helping me feel better, both physically and in general. So we are now 25* weeks on from my operation. That's right, 25 weeks ago I was sitting in St Thomas' Hospital watching the filming of James Bond from my window, listening...
It was a Friday night, we sat in Pizza Hut after only ordering chocolate fudge cake trying you work it out. What could out happened to make something that was so great go so so wrong? What was going to happen next? Would we ever see them again? Why would Charlie leave Busted? That was 10 years ago, when a lot of my friends weren't old...
If this post seems a bit inconsistent, with the theme of my blog, then yes it is, but I do love a good ghost story and Luckily I live in one if the most haunted city's in the UK! So if you're out and about in Brighton this Halloween, make sure you keep your eyes open for some of the city's...
A couple of years ago I wrote a post about my Winter woes. This year I'm writing about how awesome I feel going into Autumn! I was going to write this a couple of weeks ago, but I've been super busy having super fun times including Hamlet at the Barbican, Young Guns, a gin taste test and soaking up the last of the...
Last week saw the return of Fall Out Boy to the UK, so my sister and I headed to Leeds to see them (again). Our evening began with Professor Green, who may be an unusual choice of support for Fall Out Boy and isn't someone I'd pay see headline, but he was really good. Really! And while I'm not rushing to see him again, I...
One direction at the Apple Music festival. If you don't know, for 10 nights every September Apple take over the Roundhouse in Camden and fill it with some of the best music artists on the planet, a crowd lucky enough to have won a pair of tickets and then broadcast the show on iTunes/Apple music. So a little over a week ago I...
So this is my blog. Annoyingly it's taken me ages to make it look this way. Not all because I'm bad at HTML and CSS, (I'm still learning it as I go though) but because I was trying to make it look 'perfect'. I never used to care about how it looked, what I wrote. I did what I pleased and made...
Just a little note about the last couple of weeks... It's been 10 weeks since my Fontan conversion. It's been a weird 10 weeks. Some of it I can't remember, most of it I've been super positive and some of it I've felt down and teary. ...
Normally I don't bother keeping track of how much exercise I get. I'm pretty good at knowing how my body works and making sure I stay as fit and healthy, but now is not 'normally' and I'm trying to build up my strength and I've been looking for some kind of device or app to help, without having to spend loads of money,...
I've been out of hospital for 4 weeks now, and the have been a tough 4 weeks. I'm still struggling to focus, I'm going out for short walks and returning feeling shattered then finding it hard to sleep and its even a bit of a mish to get in and out of the shower. so while all this frustrating stuff is going on...
This time two weeks ago I was still in theatre. The time since I went to sleep at 11am two weeks ago has pretty much been a blur. I know it's two weeks later but I'm still struggling with the concept of the time I've missed and what has happened since. Lots has happened but I can't pin point much of it. I...
Today I am walking around on my own unaided, have had all the wires pulled from out of my chest and able to go get myself a cup of tea. The only thing that makes today better is the view. ...
So its, some stupid time in the morning and today is the actual day my doctor rips apart my chest and does some kind of medical magic. To say I'm scared is an under statement, I haven't slept (but I think I'll be getting more than enough sleep this week). I've managed to stay distracted by the filming of some James Bond scenes...
So I was planning on redoing the ramble that was last night's post bit there is no time!!!! My operation has been moved up until Monday. Monday. Which means that I need to be in hospital on Sunday, which means I now need to go and get everything I need, cram on seeing my friends and go watch Jurassic World before Sunday afternoon...
So this week has been relatively stress free, I've managed to get away for a few days, visiting my little sister in her uni town of Sheffield. Sometimes it's just a change of scenery and something to look forward too that makes a massive difference to your headspace. I've also made sure that I got to see some old friends at the weekend,...

Occasionally I still write things about music; here is 100 words about The Xcerts. The Xcerts Tunbridge Wells Forum 11th April 15. We missed most of Glass City Vice (sorry, but Tunbridge Wells has an incredible Wetherspoons), HeyRoccoo were awful. I have never regretted leaving a Spoons as much as I listening to them. It was Shocking/Funny. Thankfully The Xcerts were there to take...
