Musings of a Perfectionist

Hey guys! So yesterday, while we were going to Pizza Express for my sister's birthday (I got nice and travel sick, as you do), I remembered the rave that I went to a few years ago, and thought that I'd tell you all about it. At least, tell you about the bits I can remember. It was at least three years ago. But anyway- the rave! A rave, by the way, is apparently an organised dance party at a nightclub, outdoor festival, warehouse, or other private property. I mean, I guess the rave I went to was like this? It was a rave in Ely Cathedral (Rave in the Nave is a pretty awesome name, and never fails to make me laugh) so private property? And I did dance- on the Wii (we did Timewarp and it was amazing). There was music (and I guess dancing?) but I don't remember who played, or what they played- but I'm assuming it was Christian Rock, or something similar. What else was there? Well, I went with a friend, and we met up with some other people we knew. I remember ...

So it's Mothering Sunday today (have you seen the Google Doodle, 'cos it's adorable- and maybe you'll understand the title for today) and I was going to do a post yesterday, then I remembered today and so here we are. Firstly, thanks to Mum for being wonderful and amazing and supporting me through everything (even though I don't want to do science in the future 😂) Secondly, this IMPORTANT FOR TODAY (because I know it can be hard, for those who aren't mothers for reasons, or for those who miss their mothers for reasons): Mothers aren't just the biological ones, the ones that you live with. While my own mother is incredibly important to me, there are other mothers who have helped 'raise' me so that I am the person who I am now.  For example, my three godmothers, or my friends' mothers, or the women at Church who give me cake (and more cake). My older cousins, my aunts, my grandma, my friend's grandma- they are all amazing an...

Hello! We had our Sponsored Walk today, so I've walked about 8 miles and eaten far too much sugar, but a cup of Earl Grey Tea has solved all my problems (apart from, perhaps, my need for real food). ALSO: I've suddenly had 42 page views today?!? Welcome, all of you!! Have you subscribed...? 😂 There should be a post coming soon with an actual recipe! (Are you excited?) It's the recipe for the Lemon and Raspberry cake that I made for my friend's 16th birthday. I felt very bake-off, designing it all out and then forming my own cake. So look out for that post, coming soon. At school yesterday, we had a half day, and two of my friends came round (one to see the new house, the other to see it again). We went for a walk in the woods that live near our house, and I must admit that I got some pretty awesome pictures. Some of them look rather creepy, like the one of my sister just standing between some trees in the distance, and some of them were pretty cool, like one of m...
