How I get through summer
Hells bells gal’s, it’s gonna be another scorcher this summer. And if you’re like me (that is ageing gracefully haha), you’re probably freaking out about trying to beat the heat as we get into the thick of it, and I hear you. Man, oh man do I hear you? I spent the first half of Summer 23′ lying on my bed with the air-con on full blast.

If they made science studies at school half as exciting, I definitely would have paid more attention – maybe I was just in the wrong school?
I had zero clue on how things grow. How difficult could it be? Take a seed, sow the seed, water the seed, give it sunlight, continue until seed sprouts, then continue again and again until the seedling becomes a plant, then plant the plant, fertilise, water and give it sunlight, until eventually said plant flowers and produces fruits which you get to enjoy.
