This weekend I was a bit depressed. Piglet was ill, we couldn’t go swimming, and although I was briefly delighted about this as it meant I wouldn’t have to get up at 7am and sit on some godforsaken bus for half an hour, my dreams of a cosy lie-in remained just that, as Piglet was…

Life: Perfectly Instagrammed?
This is a nice photo. Everything on Instagram is nice. Sometimes I almost think I could be a photographer, or at least someone with a lovely lifestyle blog full of beautiful soft-focus shots of their immaculate home full of spotless white furniture and inspirational quotes.

Piglet vs the World
Ladies and gentlemen, I no longer live in Wembers. Well, it’s not official. I haven’t even notified the bank I’ve changed addresses yet, let alone actually sold the flat. However, Piglet and I are currently residing with my mother and are now the occupants of a room I previously shared with my brother in 1985….
