Haligmonath
It’s September. It’s the full moon, the second ‘super moon’ of 2014. That means the moon is unusually close to the Earth.
I took a couple of pictures to show you just how huge the moon is tonight.
In this photo the moon is in the centre. The lower light is a street lamp about 400 yards away. It’s in the pub car park.

So, as part of the Job Centre’s campaign to irritate the crap out of me I’ve had to go every day this week and last. It’s called intensive job search, apparently.Continue reading “Don’t tell me I ‘might change my mind one day’.”
‘Spiritual’ women’s magazines?
About ten years ago, after coming home from university, I had a bit of a depression. I was out of work, broke and alone. It felt like I’d wasted all my years of studying.

Two weeks and I’ll be signing the contract
As I might have mentioned before, I’m out of work and my mum’s house has been sold. The last couple of months have been a little stressful, and consequently my mental health has been a little unstable.Continue reading “Two weeks and I’ll be signing the contract”
August Reviews: part 2
And I returneth with a small number of book reviews. I hadn’t planned to post this set of reviews yet but I managed to read two fairly long books yesterday and thought it would be sensible to post them rather than waiting ten days.
