As you may know I used to own a tarantula, a Chilean rose hair tarantula to be more specific, unfortunately Hermy died Thursday 21st February 2008 and I’ve been unsure whether I want another tarantula. My favourite breed of tarantula for years now has been the Mexican Red Knee and I’ve been thinking lately about buying one and having another tarantula as a pet – this one would likely be…

Keeping Busy
I’ve definitely been keeping busy lately with various offline (and some online) activities. Here’s what I’ve been up to when I haven’t been writing or working on my website: Catching up on my Sky+ shows Bones, Casualty, Teen Wolf, Holby City etc – I haven’t caught up with season 2 of Teen Wolf yet, it’s been in my Sky+ planner for about a year now!

Grand Designs: What would I do?
For those that aren’t familiar with “Grand Designs” it’s a television show in the UK broadcast on Channel 4 which features unusual and often elaborate architectural home-building projects in Britain as the individuals attempt to design and construct the home of their dreams.

MCM Spring Memorabilia Show – Birmingham March 2013
This weekend was the Memorabilia show in Birmingham.

Mother’s Day trip to Bath
This past weekend Artur and I took my mum to the city of Bath to celebrate Mother’s Day. She had given us a few ideas for her Mother’s Day outing the week before including Bath Bourton-on-the-Water and Longleat Safari Park and Gardens. With its Roman history and the chance to explore a new city – Bath was an easy choice. To be honest I’m surprised we took so long to visit this beautiful…

2012 – year in review
I wanted to write this post before the end of 2012 but having a stomach bug but a damper on that idea, so I’m writing it now (this post was also going to be my goals for 2013 but the post got too long – that post will follow. 🙂 ) I’ve seen a few of my friends blogs review their past year categorised by month and decided to steal…

Christmas celebrations 2012
It’s been a busy few months for me, getting ready for Christmas, working a lot (we have two new staff members in our department, a lot of changes and training going on), spending time with my family and house hunting! House hunting has been an ongoing task at the moment – Artur and I are looking at moving home early in the year after being in a rented property since…

Last post I talked about the goals I set in 2012 and how I was getting on with them.…
