Birds and Cameras   07/01/25

Working on this website has caused me to dive back into bird photography, something I started around a year ago but which slowly faded into the background.
It's not as if I stopped loving birds in that past year, if anything my new found love for the avian has only grown.
In the weeks over christmas I saw so many birds that brought me joy; I just didn't photograph them.
Obviously to some this is a good thing and I have subscribed to that view at points, birds (and whatever else you might love to observe) are beautiful and natural parts of our world; is it not enough just to see them?
A small meditative moment with a kingfisher perching over the waters of my hometown lake, the rush of jumping up to see a flock of long-tailed tits swarming the birdfeeder out of my window on a frosty evening.



These moments are important to me and they are enough but parallel to my love of birds is my love of photography which goes back much further, back to my studies in college.

2024: A Gaming Year in Review   01/01/25

2024 has come to a close and it has really taken me by surprise, I have done a lot of things this year and that list certainly includes gaming.
For this review I will use games from my steam replay as well as from other sources such as my 3DS, although I am still liable to forget some games I played.
This is also not a review or rating of the games themselves but I will share my thoughts throughout.

January

January was not a particularly interesting month in games for me but it does act as a good introduction to what will be a common theme throughout this list, Overwatch.



Overwatch is by far and away my most played game, it is even often my most played game of some months (but I will only highlight it here).

New Years Eve   31/12/24

I'm starting this blog as the year comes to a close, a bittersweet end to a year like any other with its ups and downs.
I'm waiting this year out in my parents home in a hidden away room crouched over playing Smash Bros Ultimate on a 720p 2006 monitor.
It's a fun game but my boyfriend is too good at it, we laugh and curse and watch over our middle aged King Charles Spaniel.
All the while we are aware of his sister who for the first time we are missing this Christmas.
I hope that whoever reads this has a 2025 full of new experiences and old, new friends and old. For Auld Lang Syne.
