Hello Earthlings,
I feel like I have kind of abandoned my blog recently and it makes me sad but at the same time I don’t want to rush a post or write about something just for the sake of it so I have just taken a step back and tried to think of some ideas for the next few weeks. You see I have quite a few ideas for summer but it’s the whole run up to summer that may be lacking. But anyway, I was thinking to myself about how much I have changed over the past couple of years and then I remembered that about 2 years ago I did the 100 Questions No One Ever Asks so I figured that I could do it again and see if I have changed. So let’s go! (P.S. if you want to read the original then here you go)
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18 and find line 4.

4. What is the last thing you watched on TV?

10. Do you remember your dreams?
I’m an idiot but hey I answered that above so…
11. When did you last laugh?

I feel like this has been a pretty successful reflective post and I do think I definitely have changed, if you actually managed to read all of this then thank you so much, you definitely deserve a cookie. I’m going to include a snazzy mirror selfie with half my face missing because it has been super sunny today and I looked very summery, although I got sun burn which now stings a lot so anyway!
Until next week,
