Last Friday, on February 10th, I attended my first graduation ceremony ever. The weird thing is, this ceremony is just the first of two I will attend this year – the second one’s been lined up for months in a bit over a month, at the end of March. And the one I attended lastContinue reading “I graduated! – University of Brighton graduation”

Snooper’s Paradise stuff
I’m not a fan of Snooper’s Paradise. I never was. But I go there from time to time, to see what’s new, to see what’s being sold and get some food for my eyes – searching for inspiration and whatnot, things like that. Snooper’s Paradise is a pretty well-known shop in Kensington Gardens, a veryContinue reading “Snooper’s Paradise stuff”
My greatest success
As I sit down in the Jubilee Library to write this post, WordPress prompts me: “What is your favourite cartoon?” Dude, what does this have to do with my greatest success? But, to be fair, what I am going to write about has a little to do with cartoons. Because living in Brighton can feelContinue reading “My greatest success”
Varsity jackets, sunsets, busy autumn
As you might have noticed, lately this blog has been mostly personal updates rather than actual ๐บ๐ง cฯ๐โแบธ๏ผฎ๐ ๐ ๐! The reasons for this are multiple… I’ll recount the most direct ones. A) Almost two months ago I started teacher training which finally filled my days with lots of hours of supervised work and got meContinue reading “Varsity jackets, sunsets, busy autumn”
The case of Hillfort House [Brighton]
With this post, I introduce a new post category to my blog: housing! It started with the ad [picture 1] I check my email and see this ad at the top of my inbox. (Thanks, Gmail). It’s adorable – nice colours, fancy font, and a catchy heading – “Up to 6 weeks’ rent on us”.Continue reading “The case of Hillfort House [Brighton]”
How I really feel about Brighton
Dear friends and subscribers (though feel free to consider yourself my friend if we’ve ever engaged in any sort of exchange of comments or messages, isn’t this what everybody does now in the era of Facebook friends and followers?), thank you for your patience and apologies (or you’re welcome?) for not posting for a fewContinue reading “How I really feel about Brighton”
#1 – Some developments just don’t make sense
19 March 2022 – massive thank you to the 50 people who have so far subscribed to my site! Every post like and comment (the latter are more scarce) matters hugely to me, and I hope you find my ๐ฒ๐พ๐ฝ๐ ๐ด๐ฝ๐ at least a tiny bit interesting, entertaining, helpful, or inspiring. Now, to the point: RealContinue reading “#1 – Some developments just don’t make sense”
Park Close flats, Coldean – redevelopment proposal
Two years ago, a proposal was made to replace the old Meeting House at Park Close, Coldean – a ‘garden suburb’ of Brighton – with a new development of 12 flats. The Meeting House was built in the 1950s and used by the Mormon community (i.e. the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), butContinue reading “Park Close flats, Coldean – redevelopment proposal”
Brighton Half-Marathon 2022
Oh, what a day it has been. Fresh from the outdoors and inside my flat now, I’ve just returned from a day out that began at 4.30am when I woke up, through 5.33am when I boarded the 25 bus and 6.09am when I turned up at the volunteers’ tent, to 2pm when my volunteering jobContinue reading “Brighton Half-Marathon 2022”
I dated a Brighton map (it’s from 1971)
At Shabitat, a place I volunteer at, I picked up a dated map from the free pile of stuff that we put out outside the entrance. I only pick up maps that are (a) especially pretty or curious, and (b) show the local area. This one is type B. It’s a map of Brighton &Continue reading “I dated a Brighton map (it’s from 1971)”
My Brighton adventures with design
When you start a new uni, you want to show others what you do and get that clout to wear it around your street. At least unless you go to a uni that you think is below what you are capable of. (My advice: always go to the best place you can go to). EitherContinue reading “My Brighton adventures with design”
Coldean – affordable housing under construction (to open in summer 2023)
I love looking at houses. Seeing where and how people live can give us a great insight into what their everyday life is like and what obstacles and benefits they might encounter on a daily basis. In fact, one of the things I liked the most about my job as delivery cyclist at JustEat (apartContinue reading “Coldean – affordable housing under construction (to open in summer 2023)”
