Hi guys, I hope you are all well. It’s pretty crazy and scary times right now so today I thought I’d share some of my favourite things from the year so far, maybe you guys will find something to check out. During the lockdown I’ve been reading and playing on my Switch a lot. I’ve also been spending my time doing my written assignments for my VCA (veterinary care assistant) course as well as blogging. I hope you guys are keeping yourselves occupied and sane during these crazy times. Let get onto some of my favourite things.
