Month: October 2024

Ned, my mum and dads little Jack Russel and my best friend has not been very well over the past week. In fact he’s been very seriously ill with pancreatitis and for a few days we thought that we would lose the little guy. I’m very happy to say however that he is well on…

I found this and it made me cry as soon a I read it. See what you think….. “The true horror of existence is not the fear of death, but the fear of life. It is the fear of waking up each day to face the same struggles, the same disappointments, the same pain. It…

There is a person or persons who lives in a flat very close to me who smokes cannabis. I sit in my own living room and I can smell it. I open the door to my flat and it’s so strong I can taste it and as far as I am concerned this should not…

It’s such a visually stunning film full of vivid imagery that’s both beautiful and at the same time frightening Dealing with at times difficult subject matters like death and suicide but also about how love will always survive no…
