I had not realised it had been 805 days since my last bookmarks roundup. 805 days. This section is still one of the most visited parts of my little web corner. It's been so long that I have accumulated an intimidating number of...
For my daughter, I've been buying second-hand as much as possible. If it can be washed and disinfected, it will be second-hand. She loves noisy books right now, so I've been getting some cheap books from Vinted and charity shops. The...
I’ve had a long year. I spent the first half on maternity leave and struggled quite a bit. Raising a baby is hard enough, and then adding the constant worry of milestones and development, their health, getting all the information to...
Two weeks ago, I spoke at FFConf. Yes! Me! Last year, I made a little shy appearance in one of Sophie's slides, but it was the big deal this year. I mentioned in a toot a while back how special FFConf is for me. Years ago, my friend Paul...
Some weeks ago, I was so privileged to have been invited to chat about myself and my blog at Manu's new series, People and Blogs. I really enjoyed following someone else's prompts. I never rationalised some decisions about this blog out...
With Twitter imploding and people (myself included) trying to move to multiple similar apps, I was following everyone I knew numerous times. It may not look like it, but I can be a bit shy! If we're "Twitter/conference friends", you...
Well, well, well. Who would have thought I would give this another go after pouring my heart a few years ago in a blog post? But I did! And nothing terrible happened! I've had a silly idea of something I wanted to build for a long time,...
Updated on the 21st March 2025 If you're here, you're probably interested in this gap decorations proposal too. I need to preface this post by saying: bare with me. I was without doing much coding for over a year, so maybe I'm wrong, or...
Editing and manipulating someone isn't new. But now that it is more accessible than ever for anyone to do, it feels as if every day I could be risking my safety. As someone who has been online for over 20 years, the majority of those as...
When I moved to the UK some years ago, I developed a strange new fear that I was unfamiliar with. Despite living alone for many years at that point, it was the first time I was living abroad. For the first time, I realised that I was...
My maternity leave has ended! I was one year at home with my little one. But, it's really like they say: the days are long, but the years are short. Around six months ago, I wrote a blog post called Matrescence which resonated with a few...
This post has a content note of pregnancy, birth & mention of previous loss. Visit the link directly if you're okay with reading it.
I wasn't entirely sure how to title this blog post as it isn't straightforward to describe it but here it goes. I should also preface that my knowledge of SVGs is quite high level so maybe someone who is may more experienced than me...
Here are some of the things that have been collecting dust in my bookmarks since June. I missed a lot of things shared online since. I hope one day I can catch up. This really isn't my year when it comes to sharing bookmarks. Luckily,...
One year and one day after receiving my settled status I officially became naturalised and am now a British citizen. I’m grateful for having been welcomed here (despite Brexit!) and making it “official” with the country I now call my...
