Lately I’ve been thinking about Brighton a lot. I even considered a stay in the Nookii room (I was hoping to pitch an article about staying there and get my expenses paid!). But instead I’ve booked some days off to lay in bed and try to avoid the heat. My workplace has been getting busier over the past few weeks and I need a data detox.

The most exciting part of my weekend was that I managed to write an article in an hour and I’ve filled an application form to get my advanced learner loan written off. Oh, and I applied to do a nail technology course. Yes. OK I know it’s weird. Especially as most people who know me know I don’t wear make-up, I’ve never worn any make-up other than eyeliner, eye shadow and lip tint. I don’t even know most things a manicurist does. Other than paint nails. And maybe file.

I am tiring of feeling no control over my output. I want to try something new. And I want a skill I can sell to other people. So, let’s see where this takes me.
