(I only changed my mind after the fiancé reminded me that I am already doing a three course meal for *checks notes* our DnD group today, who will eat what they are given and don’t need options)
I changed my mind about doing a recipe for a group lunch today and now have six aubergines to use up. Current plans are a) cube and freeze or b) wrap them in ribbon and give to guests as gifts.
The catharsis of a group of people in a spin class loudly singing ‘Manchild’ by Sabrina Carpenter is unmatched
I’m a simple person, I just like media law, cats and learning about the world’s most infectious disease
Me, to my fiancé, jokingly: You’re nerdy, I’m not nerdy
Him, deadpan: Tell me about tuberculosis again?
I got a decent fee reduction from the £9k total because I was an ‘independent student’, but the interest over the last 13 years has completely wiped out any benefit, frankly!

2025 was an incredibly busy year, with events including a superinjunction, the first steps in my journey to become a barrister and an engagement!
I’d love to say that 2026 looks calmer, but wedding planning, more university and a house move are on the cards…

This morning’s weather is perfect for wearing a cozy hoodie. 10/10 choice.
“It’s so sweet that you’re so wrong,” says my fiancé, shortly before he is exiled to sleep on the sofa.
This has subsequently ignited the other main disputes of our relationship; is gnocchi a dumpling or pasta (clearly pasta) and is French food better than Italian food (yes).

Please England, just hold on for a little while
Well that was loud.
Me: *moves slightly away from partner during a cuddle*
My partner: I have been banished to the wastelands, I am unloved, exiled far away
Congrats SB - that’s my beach read sorted!

I’m very proud today - my partner has just been ranked up to Band 3 in Chambers and Partners!
One of the reviews describes him as “a real star in this world” - I might be biased, but I agree.
