Shopping for Coronavirus Lockdown
Nope, that was not what I saw when I walked into Sainsbury’s yesterday evening. Matter of fact, there were only 2 banana’s left on the shelf and I grabbed them both! I had been out and about the week before last and everything felt quite normal. I haven’t bought or worn masks or gloves but I’ve made sure not to touch the railings or the … Continue reading Shopping for Coronavirus Lockdown

Thing is, since I live about 20miles from school, I have to wake up by … Continue reading PhD Diaries: Research Training Week

If We Were Having Coffee | Candid Catch Up
“Write something…, it doesn’t have to be perfect every time” the voice in my head keeps reminding me, but I’ve been overwhelmed by my 2019 goals, little else has been a priority. 2019 began with me doggedly chasing a Distinction in my Master’s degree. I’ve been reading scientific journals, working on assignments, essays, coursework and exams. In addition, I had to put in PhD applications … Continue reading If We Were Having Coffee | Candid Catch Up

What are Your Thinking Traps? – Tola Oladiji

Book Review: Inside Out by Demi Moore
My first memory of Demi Moore is her performance in Ghost, with Patrick Swayze (now late) and Whoopi Goldberg.

I heard about this memoir on the … Continue reading Book Review: Inside Out by Demi Moore
