Sometimes in life, all of a sudden you're busy. Things go from being normal one day to all systems go the next. It might feel quite overwhelming because now you have so much to think about and plan.

Clubhouse probably won’t become the next Instagram
We already have Instagram, it can't be replaced. It's more likely that other apps will copy it and it will die out or become less popular, like snapchat. When it comes to the growth and longevity of Clubhouse, there is a lot to be considered. Firstly, there is likely to be a period of rapid … Continue reading Clubhouse probably won’t become the next Instagram
The old normal
Lockdown allowed us to fantasise about the possibilities of life. The way that things were was no longer seen as the way that things had to be. The longer we were inside the more we began to speak of the new normal. We were able to imagine changes on scales small and large. I think … Continue reading The old normal
Back to normal
I think the idea of going back to normal will cause a divide. On one hand you have the ones that are craving the way things were. They spend their days longing for what used to be. On the other hand you have the ones that have adjusted and adapted to this new way of … Continue reading Back to normal
Pastry and persistence
So, today I tried something new in the kitchen that involved shortcrust pastry. My hopes were high but unfortunately the end result was pretty terrible. I tried to rectify it but to no avail. I found myself feeling a little frustrated because it wasn't a complicated dish and I thought it was going well, until … Continue reading Pastry and persistence

Of course the easy thing to do would be nothing and just let things go back to what they … Continue reading Welcoming normal

For some that worked in offices they were able to continue at home whilst for others things grounded to a halt and have remained so for the past couple of months. From the way things look, it appears … Continue reading Post-lockdown in the office
A taste of normality
Right now a lot of people are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the slow return to normalcy. Granted it'll be a long time until things are back to how they were but as they say 'slow progress is better than no progress'. This normality will be positive for some … Continue reading A taste of normality
Missing normal
Suddenly the everyday mundane tings that often got overlooked are the very things that you long for. The walk to the train station, getting a vanilla latte at your favourite cafe and walks through the city centre on a Saturday afternoon. Those simple things were part of what was once normal life and although they … Continue reading Missing normal
The new normal
Right now things might feel strange, they certainly don't feel normal. When we experience difficult or challenging situations so often we end up craving the way things were. You might find yourself longing for the simple everyday things you used to do like working in an office building, travelling by train and seeing full shelves … Continue reading The new normal
