Stolen things.
On Friday gone, the 9th January I got home and found it had been broken into, and property was stolen. I keep finding more and more things missing as the days go by. Here is the list so far.

PS- Berlin was brilliant, you should go. edit: silly typos- one day I’ll proof something, eh!

Whilst working towards my MPhil to PhD transfer, of course- doubting my own critical thought or even self-worth. Lets get it right, I’ve been depressed. Trouble was I didn’t realise I was depressed until I’d been depressed for a significant portion of the time spent. Despite me knowing the signs. I guess I wasn’t spending long enough with anyone (or the right people) in order for them to ask (wallflower side affect?) “What’s up?” but fortunately Christmas came around and it was only then, when taking a week off from working, or trying; that my brain farted out to myself. “You’re depressed!” Identifying a cause is simple, I’m…
