I’ve done it again. I’m unwell, hence off the radar for numerous people. If I’m honest I haven’t been right in weeks. If I’m honest the first day I woke with a headache should’ve been the one I took off school. But it wasn’t so I was struck down, after the hayfever hit, with some … Read More

Kocho-sensei (Headmaster) has just come up to me for the fourth time this week to tell me ‘Sunny isn’t it.’ This is a total improvement on Monday’s ‘Cloudy ne?’ (‘Cloudy isn’t it’ in English/Japanese mixture). I am so chuffed. This is entirely down to the display on the first years corridor on Weather. I didn’t … Read More

Finally the mystery of the car in my space has been solved! See I only pay part of the rent on my apartment, my employers pay two thirds of it. They do this by putting into my account an amount of money about two days before rent is taken out by the landlord. Silly me … Read More

I have been saying for years now that I’m allergic to home, that would be a little village on the Lincolnshire Wolds where Tennyson’s brother used to be vicar.

I’ve decided, my biology is fucked. Thats all there is to it. It is not usual female body behaviour to be bleeding again, this soon after my last period…on the other hand it does seem to have stopped hurting (and thank fuck we don’t have the floods of last time). The sakura is still beautiful … Read More

Your Inner European is French! Smart and sophisticated. You have the best of everything – at least, *you* think so. Who’s Your Inner European?

Could someone please explain to my ovaries and womb that after the bleeding has stopped the pain is supposed to as well. Have spent majority of my day clutching my desk and trying not to overdose on the happy pills (Buferin). My back frankly feels as through someone is trying to pull and stretch everysingle … Read More

It seems somehow wrong to be longing for the slow pace of work on Monday morning rather than exulting in a weekend. However this weekend did not go to plan… and how! So went to see the cutest creature in the world (Kore) on Friday, honestly Skimble and I are acting like a lesbian couple … Read More
