The day Charlie was put to sleep
Waking that morning, I could hear his faint meows from downstairs. These were not the meows of old, when he would cry for me to feed him his posh cat food. Nor was it the sound of him play-fighting with his sister Lucy, who he loved dearly until her passing from leukaemia many years before.

I Don’t want to be a Team Player!
As someone that has worked in the emergency services for many years, I completely understand the value of working together. There is no finer example of this than on September 11th, when so many brave individuals pulled together to save as many lives as humanly possible. We will never forget!

What exactly is a ‘Karen?’
I have always found it fascinating how slang words appear from nowhere and become part of our common language. The term ‘Karen,’ or to put it in the correct context; ‘Oh God, she’s being a Karen!’ is one that seems both funny and offensive at the same time.
