Thank you for your advice. A very difficult situation for me and I think that you’re right I will probably begin having to keep an eye on appropriate job openings. I think I will mostly play it by ear for now.

Also, it’s always good for when in doubt to stick to the classics such as: To Kill a Mockingbird or Moby Dick.

Another one is the Hunger Games books. They were quite good when they came out. I also quite enjoyed the movies made from them.

Over the years I have watched a lot of series and can vouch for some of the best of them.

Game of Thrones (HBO)
Based of the novels by George R.R. Martin; this is a long running fantasy medieval series with magic and monsters. It sounds a bit goofy but it’s drowning with deep gritty political drama and is very, very bloody. After season one…[Read more]

I’m a fan of 90s/ 2000s punk rock music like Green Day and Good Charlotte.

The Tobey Maguire Spiderman movies by Sam Raimi are a classic for me. I tend to re-watch it every couple of years and I can probably quote Spiderman 3 word for word.

Even if it could be argued that music is only for entertainment I think that because it resonates with so many of us on an emotional level it becomes a catalyst of memory and feelings in our lives.

The MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) is Fantastic! If you can watch all of them I highly recommend it. A couple of the movies aren’t that great but it’s definitely worth it for the climactic final movies Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Thank you for all of your suggestions! So it seems I either need a FitBit or a dog. I’ll probably end up choosing the latter as I only really want to shave off the couple pounds I gained over Christmas and a dog seems like a bit of leap for me haha.

I’m still going to do more research as FitBit prices vary it seems and I’m not sure yet which one…[Read more]

I used to have two dogs. I had a Golden Retriever called Oscar who was the cutest gentlest soul there ever was with such a warmth in his heart. I also had a King-Charles Cavalier Spaniel called Tye who was a sort of rescue in a way as when he was very young he used to be an old ladies dog and she had to go into a care home and unfortunately she…[Read more]

This is really insightful and helpful as (hopefully not anytime soon) I’ll eventually end up having to put my grandparents in a care home and I think it’s important to pick the right one.

I’d never even considered the fact that foods can have an effect like this. Amazing.

Cereal boxes tends to be a good form of this where the art/ logo can change a little bit but they likely keep some pieces of nostalgia. Weetabix and Coco pops are examples of this in my opinion. Coco pops are a bit controversial as the monkey has changed a lot over the years but there is still a monkey after all.

I have friend that suffers from migraines somewhat regularly and he often finds that as soon as he can tell it’s gonna be a bad one he pops a couple headache tablets and tries to go to sleep. He often finds that sleep is the best thing for him as if he stays awake with a bad migraine he’s just gonna end up feeling worse and worse and end up…[Read more]

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of eggs having anything to do with migraines. I’d probably consult a doctor if I was you.

I can’t speak for any facts but I know that when I was younger I had a pretty unhealthy diet of junk food and was still somewhat skinny and then a bit later in my life with pretty much the same diet I started to put on a few pounds. It honestly could’ve been that maybe I’d slown down a bit and was less active and had less exercise.

Tradition is what keeps our ancestry, memory and history alive. It is important for us to be aware and remember where we came from so that we can learn and move forward.
