Curly Hair, Been There: Paris Charles de Gaulle

So, if you didn't guess from the title, I'm bored in the airport.
 I have to say it's not a bad airport, it's massive and very bright and comfortable. There's lots to see and do, there's your standard airport chocolates and duty free, but there's also a screen across from me to play PS4 so the kids running around aren't annoying me too much.

I've exhausted things to do, I've been over schoolwork, listened to hours of music, looked in the shop, and now I'm bored and slightly uncomfortable from having sat in the same chair for the last two hours. My gate should be open in about twenty minutes, but they're still boarding the previous flight and my plane is delayed, so i reckon I'll be sat here a bit longer.

I have to say, I've never been more thankful for my headphones than right now. The fact that they're noise cancelling is usually lost on me when I'm home and it's quiet around me anyway, but here, it's making the environment a lot more bearable and I can easily turn on the microphone to see if they're mentioning my flight, and can hear it perfectly.

It's a nice airport, lots of colourful chairs and nice bright lampshades, although in this particular terminal there isn't a lot of choice in what to eat and drink. Either way, it's a big old airport, and definitely better than El Prat in Barcelona. The benefit of that airport being so small, however, is not getting lost. I mean, I didn't get lost here, because it's so well signposted, but I like the quiet and ease of El Prat.

Anyway, I'm trying to get through this mess of an airport by remembering that soon, I'll be home, and with my family; I'll see my boyfriend tomorrow, which honestly has got me through the last two months. I hate flying but I'm used to it now, and I'm more than excited for the result. Plus it's gonna be lovely and warm this weekend so it's all pretty perfect really!

Curly Cooks: Booboos

Since we're all stuck inside for lockdown, many people are currently baking to pass the time, including me! So, Curly Cooks is a series on the various items that I'm making while on lockdown, most of which will carry personal stories. Today's recipe is one I invented as a child: Booboos. Curly Cooks: Booboos Jump to recipe When I was younger, I used to enjoy watching my mum bake all manner of sweet treats for my brother and me. At maybe three years old, I decided to invent a recipe of my own, which ended up being named Booboos. Now as a three year old I obviously didn't understand the necessities and intricacies of baking, so I just wrote a bunch of random baking words that I knew and my mum interpreted it to create these biscuits. This is my original recipe card:  Shocking penmanship and spelling I know, and a flawless method. If you can't read my handwriting (unsurprising tbh), it says Resapy for Boo...

Page to Screen: The Miseducation of Cameron Post

Page to Screen The Page to Screen series explores the cinematic adaptations of books and my criticisms of them, comparing the two works and reviewing them separately and as a whole. The Miseducation of Cameron Post 2012, Written by Emily Danforth 2018, Directed by Desiree Akhavan The book Source I recently finished reading this wonderful book and deliberately waited until I had finished it to watch the film, knowing the difference that there would be, and of course not wanting to spoil the end of the book for myself. Obviously, this post contains spoilers for The Miseducation of Cameron Post, both book and film. Written by Emily Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post explores the upbringing of a young girl in Miles City, Montana (where Danforth herself is from) and how the actions she takes cause consequences for her future.  The first half of the book goes through her early teen years, as she realises her homosexuality and learns about it, acting on ...
