Tomatoey Thai Red chicken curry. Probably a little bit bastardised.

The end is within sight? On the course that is. I feel somewhat proud that I did keep up with my teaching duties alongside three university assignments, job-seeking (and job-getting!) and trying to have something of a life outside of the course.

Observations from the past month, non-work version:

I evidently needed fun this month. Eurovision was a very welcome break amidst all of it.

I need to get on top of batch-cooking. Eating makeshift lunches doesn’t agree with me if it’s every day.

First dentist appointment in two and a half (ish) years. Let’s hope everything is fine.

Birthday coincides with platinum jubilee celebrations. Shall I just pretend it’s all for me?

I am still rationing the number of new pieces of clothing I am purchasing this year. One piece a month. Max. But they do roll over. I own an overlocker now, so I feel like I have more scope upcycling second-hand pieces. But I have to actually browse for them first?

We went from still-winter-adjacent to lovely spring to rainy season. Fingers crossed murphy’s law means that we’ll be back to lovely weather when the next half term starts.

And those are this month’s meandery thoughts. I’m obviously suffering academentia again.

Be well, everyone!
