An afternoon at Beats and Eats Southampton

A little life update
Three months. I think this is the longest I’ve gone without posting on this here blog since I started it in 2017.
The bars are open, and I’m so hungover: the emotional fallout of post-lockdown socialising
I’m talking about the kind you get after socialising with gusto. The hangover that leaves you emotionally and physically drained, without the need for one too many daiquiris the night before (though the two do often come in hand in hand).
Vote | God’s House Tower’s new neon artwork!
I'm VERY excited to share that I'm in the final two in a local neon artwork commission!
Poem | Resolute
One year ago today, we were told to simply stay at home. I've attempted to summarise my feelings in this poem.
Me, Myself and Instagram
I've become somewhat of a social media addict. I'm not sure if it's been exacerbated by the last year of lockdowns and deprivation of human contact, but that there is my confession. So when my lovely friend Bronwen asked me to write an essay on the theme of Vanity for her passion project, Artemis, I knew I had to address this issue, and perhaps even tackle it head on.
