Aeroplane Mode

I may have said that I hate airports, but the wonderful people on the actual plane make up for it.

(And yes, I am being sarcastic (ever so slightly), for those of you who don't know what sarcasm is.)

First of all though, anyone ever been on a BA flight when there is the video demonstrating what to do with oxygen masks, life jackets etc. What is that? It is honestly one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

Secondly, the crew on the flight was lovely, so thanks to them. ☺

But the people really made the flight what it was.

There was this weirdo (let's call her grinning girl) sitting next to me, who kept poking me and talking and even showed me a picture of a massive spider in her magazine (I hate spiders). Grinning girl is, of course, my sister, so it wasn't too bad (love you sis!)

On the other side of the plane, a couple of seats in front of me, there was a girl with an amazing jumpsuit who accidently (I guess?) gave me a book recommendation, so thanks to jumpsuit girl.

Rhiannon and I had two sisters (I assume) sitting behind us who, when they sat down, we both sighed and knew that it would be a long flight. Blue top was pretty loud and orange top (sitting behind me) kept jostling my seat.

The woman in front of me accidently (I hope) hit my legs with her pink sweater, and her children (on the other side of the plane) were pretty loud. It was rather cute however, when we took off and they were very vocal in how amazing it was. And as we landed, one of them just yelled out, "I just farted!" really loudly and then they stopped being cute.

The guy next to me (on the other side of the plane) (sue me- I can't really do anything on planes because of travel sickness) was watching a film on his laptop with Theo James in it (no, not Divergent) and Rani and I were covertly watching some if it before deciding that it was too annoying not knowing what movie it was and we gave up. Movie guy: I'm sorry that I kept trying to watch your movie...

And I was the annoying person who kept coughing because I have a sore throat and it makes me cough. 😔 Lots of sore throat sweets were taken on this flight.

But I'm home now! My holiday post needs to be edited a bit, but that will be up soon (subscribe so that you can be notified when I do actually post it...please).

Also, go and follow my author Instagram account: @lara.h358 as I'll be posting more regular updates about my novel.

¡Adiós!

Carers Week

Hi everyone! It feels like it's been ages since I last posted anything (or really wrote anything for that matter) but hey, exams! Anyway, this week (11th-17th June) is Carers Week, so I thought that I'd do some raising of awareness for Young Carers. First of all, shout out to my friend for standing up in assembly to talk about this, and for all those who ran the cake stall at school (they raised £69!). She's so amazing, and most of the following information comes from her. There are three main types of care that someone can provide-  physical (e.g helping to get dressed), practical (e.g shopping) and emotional (e.g comforting them if they’re upset or anxious etc). My friend thinks that emotional is probably the hardest to deal with, and it can worry carers a lot, especially when they’re at work or school (is that person ok, has anything happened to them etc), and I have to say that I agree. For young carers, the most common situations are looking after a paren

Steam trains move slowly but surely

Hello :) Those of you who know me well will probably have listened to at least one rant about feminism, especially after having studied Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez in English. And those of you who have also read this wonderful book will (hopefully) be joining me in ranting. One of the parts of this book discusses women's health and medicine, and how the concept of the default male (a major concept throughout the entire book) prevents women's health issues from being properly understood and treated. There were many parts of the book that made me so angry that I had to put it down and just stare into the distance. It was probably quite a good thing that we were studying it, because it meant that I only had to read a few chapters at a time and so the anger wasn't building up BUT, the revolution is here! Slowly, it comes, like a steam train. One of the parts of the revolution concerns actually listening to and collecting data on women's health so...  Please fil

Do You Think That Dragons Would Like Campervans?

Because I haven't actually written anything on my blog for a bit, the modern look threw me once again. Oops? But hello! I hope that everyone is doing okay with everything that's going on at the moment. Our history teacher said that we're living through history at the moment and that it is exciting (especially as a historian) but also terrifying. This came about because we were talking about primary sources and secondary sources and which is more reliable/accurate (because it's history, the answer is neither). If you wrote a diary about the events happening at the moment, is it more or less accurate/reliable than someone thirty years in the future writing about the events drawing from multiple sources? Haha isn't history great. It's fascinating and there are so many different interpretations that can come out of sources, much like English (we're studying Othello at the moment and I did go off on a mini-rant about how I don't like Cassio). Oh, and also I j
