    Life, or something like it.

    Life, it’s pretty crazy at the moment, right? Covid-19 has changed everyone’s lives. I’m lucky that it hasn’t affected my life as much as many others. My disability means i’m home most of the time, I’ve had to cancel a few trips, but otherwise, life is almost the same. I miss my parents, I wish I could go visit them. I miss my family, a few close family members are ill and I just wish I could hug them. Being so far away from family has been hard. When M passed, I chose not to move back to Sydney. I couldn’t lose everything at once, but now I wonder if…

    Myself, my grief, Neil Gaiman, Amanda Palmer & the Bushfire Event.

    Amanda Palmer knows a thing or two about grief. She’s not one to shy away from it, she lets it if flow from her in any creative way possible. It’s something that I appreciated but had not really connected with until these past 13 months. I love Amanda. I wrote a post about my love of her 9 years ago on this here blog. I’ve seen her numerous times since, including the absolutly heavenly experience of seeing The Dresden Dolls live. It’s up there as one of my all time favourite gigs. Amanda and Brian just make music magic together. I couldn’t afford to go to her recent tour, she…

    Christmas Dread

    Christmas is usually a fun time for me. I’m not a crazy over the top Christmas person, but I do enjoy it. Well, usually. The first Christmas after losing a loved one is hard and I’m honestly dreading this one. The first Christmas after my Nan passed was hard, she was the only person who would happily have a Santa photo with me. We’d go up and she’d flirt with Santa and I’d feel a bit like the 3rd wheel, but it was fun and I now have some amazing photos to look back on. M wasn’t a huge fan of Christmas but looking back, he did care. We never…

    A story of GRIEF.

    *NOTE* This post contains talk about death. Nothing graphic, but wanted to give a content warning. I debated about publishing it, but hey, I talk about nearly everything else. Grief, it’s a weird thing. It’s a journey that is as individual as a person. It’s a crazy rollercoaster that I’m currently riding. Realising I have aphantasia has made me think that the reason why I take so many photos is so I can remember. So, me, being me, I’ve taken to documenting this journey in images. In February my best friend and partner passed away. To say the loss was devastating is a bit of an understatement. It’s been 4…

    Monthly Catch Up – October

    Right, so my last catch up post was June, whoops! A lot of July/ August/ September were travelling to Queensland and Hong Kong, which all got dedicated posts. I still have posts to share about both destinations, but in the mean time, I thought i’d do an October catch up post! Event – Power Ranch I love a good girls night and the Power Ranch was up there in my top five. If I’d being honest, a lot of the gigs I go to these days, I go to spend time with Mallory and Angela. This time, whilst I didn’t know either of the acts, I really loved them, and…
