Naturally, I had to put my favourite Christmas song on the advent calendar. I’ll let you enjoy this classic.

Suffering and Socks

Image
According to my schedule, today is supposed to be a Merfolk post. And this is the first Merfolk post where I've had the person picked more than two days before! But my mental health has been suffering recently and the idea of doing a research heavy post and typing it out in hours I don't have with energy I don't have was leaving me anxious. So another day, maybe this month, maybe next: we shall see. You have to go where the brain tells you, and mine wasn't crying Merfolk. But that did leave me with a gaping hole for content. What do I do? Well, by random chance I was talking to a customer about bad sleep today. I have a bad shoulder at the moment and have taken to sleeping with a hot water bottle awkwardly lying against it. I should add, I had a lovely water bottle cover: it was cosy, soft, and kept the heat in until the following morning. But since moving in with my partner and having a house with central heating, I haven't had much need for it. So when t...

Recycla-cools: EcoBricks

You know how you see something once and then several times over that day you see that same thing over and over? Well, that happened to me recently. I was scrolling through Instagram and someone mentioned EcoBricks . It came up a couple more times and then my co-worker messaged me, asking about them!

Photo from cobute 🌍 WHAT IS AN ECOBRICK?!  I think the website puts it best: An EcoBrick is a reusable building block created by packing clean and dry used plastic into a plastic bottle to a set density. Essentially, plastic bottles are stuffed with non-recyclable plastics to create a sturdy building block with almost limitless uses. Much like the water bottle houses I covered recently. EcoBrick is a global organisation which is trying to give our essentially value-less trash value. By packing it into a bottle, it has been removed fr...

Mermaid's Top Five Songs About The Ocean

Image
Welcome to the slightly polished and looking like new Top Five! Instead of always posting them at the end of the month, I will now post them when the mood takes. Capiche?! This list is my Top Five Songs Songs About the Ocean. Those of you will remember that I posted my Final Friday Top Five Sea Songs, but that post is two years old and I have some new additions. So, strap yourselves in and wrap your ears around these absolute bops. If Ever I Stray - Frank Turner I funking love Frank Turner. I have been to see him live twice and his album, England Keep My Bones, will always hold a special place in my heart. This song is from that album. While not technically about the sea or ocean, this song is about using the restorative powers of the sea to help a man struggling with his mental health to recentre. Just with a bit of the classic Frank Turner agression. (I always describe him as a folk singer who is angry about being a folk singer.) I absolutely adore this song. At times it was as clos...
