As the summer draws to a close, the squirrels are out in full force.

I'm writing this snuggled under a cosy blanket with a pumpkin candle burning next to me. Outside, the rain pours down in sheets and the wind is blowing the first leaves from the trees.

Like a squirrel peering tentatively out of his nest at the first signs of spring, I'm taking my first steps back into the world of blogging.

Luckily, there’s a wealth of entertainment and creativity just a few clicks away. I’ve never been so grateful for Netflix!
For the past few mornings I've been waking up to sunlight spilling through my windows, bringing warmth and light to every corner of my apartment.
That can only mean one thing - spring is finally here!
We are currently in the midst of a global health pandemic.
COVID-19 has swept through the planet, leaving a trail of fear and death in its wake. The most powerful countries in the world are struggling to contain the virus, and citizens are advised to stay inside their homes unless absolutely necessary. Supermarket shelves are empty, schools are closed and the hospitals are completely overwhelmed with patients.
