What To Do When You’re Stuck At Home
I think we can all agree a lot has changed in the last week. Even if you worked from home, this new Coronavirus has upended our usual way of living. You’ve probably heard a lot of people talking about ‘flattening the curve’ and social distancing as a way to stop the spread of COVID-19. This means not going outside for anything but work or shopping. For most people, this is a big ask, but one thing I realised was that for myself and many other people with chronic illnesses this was already our way of life way before anyone had heard of COVID-19. I’ve tried to collate as much information…

Recently I looked into getting a pair of glasses for using with computer screens and I decided to order a pair from Eyebuy Direct.

Salazar’s Revenge | Review
I was a massive fan of the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. To the point where I still go to see the newer ones despite them not being that great. I’ve watched On Stranger Tides* at least four times and I still have no idea what happened in that movie. But anyway, I watched Salazar’s Revenge because I had the tiniest amount of hope that it would be good. And it wasn’t. A NOTE ON SALAZAR’S REVENGE Okay let’s get the elephant in the room over and done with first. Johnny Depp is a giant douche, I think we can all agree on that. I actually saw a…
