October 2023 Monthly Round Up

Autumn has truly hit us with the bad weather in recent days as we both drowned in Halloween movies, sweets and a howling good time (howling, get it?). October saw us attend a Chasing Abbey fan event in honour of the munchkins in my life, Emma injuring her back majorly (editor’s note: it was not a fun time. Trust me) and me surrounded by Halloween Midterm Mayhem! So sit back and enjoy as we take a look back at the spookiest time of the year!

Cheesy Bad Movie Recommendation

N: Creating and leading Halloween Workshops.

Favourite Item of the Month

E: Heat Patches – Perfect for a back injury.

N: Gilmore Girls Mug

Event of the Month

E: Chasing Abbey live in the Bridge Centre, Tullamore since it was the only thing I got to do this month. Yes, I did cackle about them going to Eurovision and, no, I don’t regret it.

N: Skywalk At Night, facing my fears at night was intense but, fun!

Moment of the Month

E: Realising I really am that bad at remembering events that I now have to invite the blog email to my events so I know if I’m clashing with other events and still failing anyway.

N: Surviving getting stitches

Your Quote of the Month

E: “Enjoy the butterflies. Enjoy being naive. Enjoy the nerves, the pressure…” Daniel Ricciardo – the whole quote is far too long to include in its entirety but it sums up everything pretty perfectly.

N: “Let’s go lando” x1000000000 times!

Three things you are most excited about for November.

E: A full range of motion 😀 a gig or two and the end of the F1 calendar which means we’ll be doing a season round up around the time of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

N: Cringey Christmas movies start to appear, the beginning of the Chasing Abbey tour and Science Week.
