September Sunsets and My School Experience

Yesterday was just so great. I saw three friends of mine. Two of which I had lost touch with and not seen for a year. I'd like to talk about my thoughts on the day. How it made me super happy but also confused and kind of sad. But to do that, I'll need to explain a little more so first lets talk about my experience with school.

August Favourites

Tomorrow August will be over. Meaning an entire month will have passed by in what felt like a week. VEDA will be over with just one more video. And more importantly, Summer will be over. I go back to school in three days and I am not even slightly prepared which is why today I decided to share my August favourites. I will post about going back to school on Wednesday when the reality of the situation becomes clearer to me. But until then, here are some things I liked this August:

Favourite Books:

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. It had been a while since I found a book that I genuinely felt I couldn't put down but this was one. I love the characters, the story, the style of writing. Everything I guess. I finished this on the boat home from the Isle of Man and got completely lost in it that I forgot about the possibility of sinking.

Truckers by Terry Pratchett. I haven't actually finished this book yet so if it turns out to be the worst ending ever, I'll unrecommend it next month. At first I struggled to get into this story because it's a little confusing for me when there are so many names and things to remember but now I'm really enjoying it. The idea is great and it's such a nice world to imagine while reading.

Favourite TV Shows:

Torchwood. In August my mum and I watched all of this show because we were obsessed. We love John Barrowman so we had to watch Torchwood and now we love him more. To be honest, I wasn't a fan of the last season but maybe that's just me. (I wasn't sure how to casually mention Janto so here it is casually being said. You're welcome.)

Game of Thrones. This month I finished season two and as much as it is taking me a long time to watch, I do love it. Despite not having a clue what's going on, I find myself trapped in the show every time I hear the opening titles. 

Community. My brother and I watched the whole first season of this in one day and since then it has been a competition to see who can watch the rest first. I am losing at season 4 episode 3. Community is one of those shows I didn't expect much of but then absolutely loved. The only thing is; are supposed to like Jeff? Because my brother hates him and I only just started to find him not awful. 


Favourite YouTube Channel:

NotJustBlonde. This is Zannah and I found her channel because she was doing VEDA this month. I've really enjoyed watching VEDA on her second channel and going back to watch everything I've missed. 

Favourite Songs:
Knuckles- NotJustBlonde (Zannah) This song is amazing and makes me jealous of her musical abilities as I have none. 
One for the Road- DoddleOddle (Dodie) Another musical person who writes amazing songs and makes me jealous
Flame- Sundara Karma

Favourite Films-

Paper Towns. This film was great and I wrote a full review here if you'd like to see that.

Fantastic Four. I heard a few people say they didn't like this film... but I did. Why I, personally, think this is is because there isn't as much action as you'd expect from a superhero movie. It's basically just a whole film of back story which I love but maybe that's not for everyone.

The Sisterhood of Night. Honestly, I don't know what this film was about or what actually happened but I know that it was pretty great and I know that when it was over I wanted to see it again. 

Horns. I had no idea what this film was really about before watching it and so I had quite a nice surprise. (Well not exactly nice) I'd definitely recommend it and you an see how far into it you get before making a Harry Potter joke. 

My Fake Fiance. We watched this film as a joke but I felt I should mention it because it made me laugh so much. My sister and I love films like this and she moved out this month so we had a day where we watched this, After the Ball (another great film), and the newest episodes of Bachelor in Paradise. 


I had quite a lot of favourites this month. Comment below some of yours. It is currently 12:16 so I have missed the Sunday post by a little bit but I'm sure we can forget about that one today. That's all for now, hope to see you next time. Bye

Isle of Man 2015

On Sunday the 9th of August my mum and I drove down to Heysham to get the ferry to the Isle of Man. Driving there was quite stressful because we were scarily close to missing the boat and my brother and dad were supposed to be coming with us but couldn't in the end. But we did get there, the boat didn't sink, and the dog wasn't seasick so all was good . Today I thought I would show you some of the pictures I took while we were there. 

It was a very grey day but this is the Isle of Man as we were getting closer on the boat there.

Market Bosworth: Getting Lost in a Good Way

This time last week I was driving down to Market Bosworth to stay for two nights at the Bosworth Hall hotel. It was a pretty amazing place and I had a great time. I'd never heard of Market Bosworth before so my mum and I spent most of the time looking around the town and getting lost. Today I thought I'd share the pictures I took while there. They're not great but that doesn't matter I guess.

This is one of the doors into the hotel. It's a very big place and the rooms at the front, here, are mostly  big halls for weddings, and the kitchens. 

A Summer of Organisation

For me the summer holiday has always been a strange time. Obviously I'm happy I don't have school but it's also an excuse not to do anything. I don't go outside at all and I don't see people who aren't in my family so it becomes boring. On Wednesday I had my last CAMHS (therapy) appointment which is good but it also means I have to keep up with my "positive mood" on my own. This is why I have to be more organised than usual.

Summer To Do List part 3

Lets pretend that the reason I missed my weekday post was because I've been super busy doing important things. And lets pretend I haven't been spending every day watching The Fosters and every night crying over Jonnor. No of course that didn't happen. Today I got away from those really important things I was doing and thought I'd share with you the final part of my Summer To Do List. You can see part 2 here.

Summer To Do List part 2

It seems like I'm only ever going to write these posts when I'm sat outside in the sun. That isn't something I do often and I've been making it look that way. I think it's just because I begin to get excited about summer (despite it being ridiculously hot right now. I feel like I may burn to death). If you'd like to see my first Summer To Do List you can click here. I think this will be in three parts so hopefully the next will also be soon. But until then I hope you enjoy my summer to do list part 2.

Summer To Do List part 1

I am not much of a summer person. Currently I am sat in the garden feeling super uncomfortable and having spiders invade my personal space, in the hope that my skin tone can possibly change from ghost to fresh corpse. (That was a joke but seriously I am unhealthily pale. Go and sit in the sun if you can, it helps with staying alive and stuff.) Anyway, I have never really enjoyed summer but this year I seem quite excited about it so today I thought I would share with you some of the things I would like to do this Summer:

The Summer Tag

I've been tagged by Lou from the wonderful blog Lou's world to do the summer tag. I decided to do this now because summer is nearly over and we can say goodbye with a tag. Honestly, I'm not sure I'll be able to answer some of these questions but here we go:
