So many people are getting into virtual workouts which is great! So many apps and websites are offering free memberships as well so it’s a great time to try and increase your stamina.

Here in the UK we have a fabulous chap called Joe Wicks who does daily 30 minute ‘PE classes’ for the kids, but it’s taken the nation by storm and everyone is doing…[Read more]

Lovely to see so much knitting and sewing. I wish I had some more supplies on hand so I could do the same!

I spent the first week completing a big jigsaw we bought from Massachusetts on holiday a few years back and then made my first ever Simnel Cake for the Easter holiday. I’m just about to crack out another 1000 piece jigsaw sitting in the…[Read more]

Hello everybody! Long time no see. Apologies it’s been a while since I logged in. Life has been very busy balancing work/study. Due to the current situation my student life has changed dramatically as I can’t go on placement in Hospitals, however I am working shifts in the Radiology department as an Assistant to help where I can. Very surreal and…[Read more]

Hello everyone! Apologies for my absence over the last few months, I don’t know where the time goes!

Popping in on this thread to see if anyone has any new recommendations for reading. I recently finished The Snowman by Jo Nesbo, the same author I’ve pretty much committed to all year round.

I have however also loved Unnatural Causes by Dr…[Read more]

Hello everyone! Thank you for raising such an important topic Mark, and something which I think really pins down the need for emotional and psychological support to those diagnosed with PF – something which is severely lacking and that truly saddens me.

I feel I may have mentioned this in my past posts, but I feel it is something I adopted…[Read more]

oO no I haven’t yet but I recall you recommending the movie! I might have a look for the book whilst on my holiday in a couple of weeks as it will give me more time to binge it.

Oh wow thanks for letting me know that RJ ( @rjday )  I wasn’t aware that she had since remarried. Such a heartbreaking tale, I’m so glad she found new happiness. Her ending to the book was so moving and brought me to tears. I’ve recently started reading a book by Sue Black who works in forensic anthropology that’s a really interesting (and quite…[Read more]

Oh my goodness I read When Breath Becomes Air a few years back and it broke my heart, Paul Kalanithi wrote so elegantly and eloquently. Such a sad loss.

I believe it was this one, How Death Becomes Life that I saw on the bookshelf at Waterstones. I resisted the urge but I might buy it from the airport on my travels in a couple of…[Read more]

Anyone who likes memoirs/biographies then I recommend Stephen Westaby’s second book called The Knife’s Edge, I binged it in a couple of days. Really heartbreaking true cases of his time as a cardiac surgeon. If I haven’t mentioned it, his first book Fragile Lives was also a really good read. I also saw a new release which is memoirs from a…[Read more]

I used to love reading books about self healing as a teenager, and especially now self care and mindfulness is popular in the mainstream it’s nice to learn more. If you like the Scientific/Psychology then I really recommend Ruby Wax and her books about mindfulness and mental health, they’re really insightful at understanding the scientific…[Read more]

As much as I want to think I’ll be someone who will adapt to e-reading, I just can’t but love the feel of advancing through a book! And I don’t really want to invest in something I might not use, but I’ll see if Amazon have any deals. It will always come in handy when I’m travelling.

How about audiobooks? A friend of mine swears by them when he’s…[Read more]
