My New Obsession - Call the Midwife

Hiya Guys,

A little insight into my life as said by many people, 'Wow you have an addictive personality.' Now, that isn't just everyone being nice about how they cannot get enough of me but more saying that I easily become addicted or obsessed with things. Well I mean it isn't as extreme as addiction to drugs or alcohol, of which I do not condone, but things such as music artists or television shows.

This post's introduction will link to my Music Friday but for this week I would like to talk about my latest TV obsession which is Call The Midwife. Also, if I seem to be writing slightly more eloquently, it won't last and is merely due to the fact that I have gotten through 4 series of the show in less than two weeks.

Set in the East End of London (this makes it more approachable as I know many of the sites), the show is about reasonably posh sisters and nurses who's job is mainly as a midwife to the disadvantaged expecting mothers.

I was really hesitant to watch the show because it sounded like something for old ladies who'd been through labour but, although there are a minimum of 3 births an episode, the show has so many more qualities and messages from doubt and loss to friendship and true love. Each episode opens a new story about a different character and touches upon the advancement of medicine to the emergence of new cultures.

The characters are also brilliant. My favourites are Chummy, played by Miranda Hart, who is basically herself if an equally as posh character but with more luck in love. |She also has the positivity of a midwife and the love that anyone in the health industry needs, Surprisingly, my other favourite character is Trixie, played by Helen George of whom I was sceptical when she was on Strictly, who plays a misunderstood girl with amazing dreams and a big heart. She seems one way when you first see the character but as it progresses, so does her story line and complexity.
So I know this is a short un' but I don't want to give away too many spoilers, except the fact that I cry at about half the episodes each series. So if you want a good family TV show, watch it! You won't regret it, Well you might when you realise you've wasted 2 weeks watching every episode.

That's all for now my dears,
See you soon

WWE! A New Era?

Hiya Guys, I really hope that this week's blog title is obvious to those of you who understand and will most likely read this post! I am a big WWE fan and, before you say 'oh it's fake', well I do know that but I'd like to also say that Marvel and DC and all those films are also fake. So, these last few weeks made history in WWE by having the Brand Split of RAW and Smackdown and making them both live.  Here is my overview of the Draft last week as well as the first week of the so-called 'new era.' Draft Day I will be honest and say that Draft Day was a huge disappointment in terms of the draft itself and the way it was organised. It seemed extremely lackluster and rushed in comparison to the other years and seemed to be very much focused on the Managers of each of the companies (Stephanie/ Mick Foley and Shane/ Daniel Bryan) instead of the superstars. However, when it comes to the picks itself, I was pleasantly surprised and happy. I think...

My Strictly favourites for this year!

Hiya guys, Hasn't the first few episodes of Strictly been amazing and shocking, in terms of talent and the results (book Tameka leaving). I don't remember a year where so many of the contestants are this talented so early because even Ed Balls isn't as bad as people like John Sargeant or Greg Wallace. Before I start, special shoutout to Judge Rinder who literally entertains me every week and Claudia who proves that us short people can do whatever we want. So, what does a new series of SCD call for... oh yeah a list of my favourite's who I think have a proper shot of winning the glitterball this year. I am sorry for the size of the list, they're all too good to just pick a few! LETS GOOOO... 1. Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse I loved Danny in Hollyoaks so I was mega excited when it came up that he was coming on the show and by God he did not disappoint me. I was also thrilled when he was paired with Oti who is absolutely magnificent but couldn't show...

Help! Essays are due!

Hiya guys, This week is another attempt at helping you gorgeous people to learn things through my mistakes. It is that time of the year and whether you've already given in essays or have some to give in, everyone will need help at some point. Please don't just take my word for it as I am only a first year university student and cannot help with content or structure . However, here are just a few points that I wish I'd known when I started doing essays and things that I do now that really help my essay writing process. Essay's, whether they be for a humanities or a science subject, have a core aim and that is too write about a specific topic to show your understanding and ability to write coherently and for a purpose so hopefully this can be partly useful to everyone. 1. Once you've chosen a question, step back and think about what it is asking Get the question and analyse it. What is the question word? Is it 'why, what, to what extent,' and figur...
