Wow, so this was a surprise... *** WARNING: Spoilers Ahead *** Due to our Cineworld cards, Kirsty and I go to films I wouldn't have paid a single pound to see, let alone ten of them. It's safe to say that Power Rangers was one of these films. At the end of the day, it …
The Hiding Place: A Monday Motivations
Behind the fireplace in the drawing room, once you’d moved the book case slightly to the side, lay her safe space, her sanctuary; a place where the rest of the world just didn’t exist. It served her those nights when her siblings were squabbling, when her mother had been drinking, or when her father was …
The Switch: #Writespiration #12
The Switch pulsated; bright, rainbow light breaking into the pitch black room. Everything about it was as exciting as it was mysterious. Still, some part of her resonated with it, as though her life had lead her to this moment, and, deep down she somehow knew that it had to be pressed. ***** This prompt …
My Lens: Part 3 – The Power of a Lens
What is your perspective of the world? Do you ever consider how much it changes? It’s a post I’ve written before and one I’ve been thinking about more and more of recent. Coupled with Throwback Thursday I’ve revisited my two earlier posts, My Lens: Part 1 – Seeing the World in Pictures and Words and My …
Looking Back at Fizz Free February
As I write this I’m drinking a bottle of Pepsi Max… I wish I could claim it is some sort of experiment I am conducting, but really I’m just thirsty and it was the only thing available (besides plain water, bleh!). Last month I was doing Fizz Free February: A Fight with Caffeine Addiction and I …

The Powers of (Mis)communication
Have you ever realised how much upset and annoyance can stem from a simple lack of communication? A few weeks ago I talked about stress and anxiety in: 3 Steps to Help Combat your Anxieties!. There I mentioned that arguing with Kirsty was one of the things that brought me stress, but that things aren’t …
Making Connections: A Thursday Thought
For a reason I can’t explain I’ve been thinking a lot about connections. It’s strange to think just how many connections we make in everyday life, be them professional or personal, big or small. The word itself has connotations of business, the old adage of “It’s who you know, not what you know”, and from …
At The End: A Monday Motivations
I cowered, hunched against the cold, metal corridors of the ships interior; my naked flesh shivering and frost-bitten by the lifeless surroundings. From the screens I saw stars, entities I’d only witnessed from the confines of Earth, slip by us without a care and over the intercom I heard the laughter, His laughter, cruel and …
Seeking Sanctuary: A Monday Blog
Do you crave your own space and solitude? For those who visit the Clouds regularly, you’ll know I moved house five months ago and you’ll also know that it’s one of the best things that has happened to me. It seemed to take a long time coming, it seemed to be the answer to so …
