I’m still alive!

... I write whenever I have something to share, which recently hasn't been that often.

If it's been quiet, it might be because my alter-ego, Seamstress Sophie, has been busy making things.

Do you like quotes?

Behind the scenes…

  • For women’s day, I want to share how I got my laparoscopy scars. They are 6 days old. This one measures 1cm. I have three. For years, I complained about heavy periods. I was having to take codeine at times, the pain was so strong. I couldn’t sit through entire meetings, plays or lectures, the bleeding was so abundant, even with the largest tampons sold. (The lil’ lets orange ones, the super max, barely lasted 2 hrs on the bad days) At night, I woke up in puddles of blood or, if I was lucky, I woke up before leaking and stumbled to change tampons at 3:00, earning myself sleep deprivation points. I went to doctors, telling them all this, mentioning fibroids, endometriosis, the c-word... Everything was dismissed. Until 7 weeks ago, when a doctor in Greece felt something abnormally stiff in my abdomen. I had an ultrasound. My uterus, a 7cm-tall organ, was the size of a cauliflower (20cm+ diameter) from fibroids. 😱 Several ultrasounds and an MRI later, the fibroids were 13, three were bigger than tennis balls, and I had endometriosis and kissing ovaries (not as cute as it sounds). Last weekend, I had laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery where my amazing surgeon removed 11 fibroids, and A LOT of endometriosis; more than the MRI had suggested. It took three hours. She is an angel of perseverance and I owe her a huge debt. This is a photo if one of my three little scars. I weigh 3kg less now. That is how much they took out. How much useless tissue had grown inside me, that nobody had considered possible. This little scar has saved me from pain, bleeding, more pain, deformity (picture a 3kg steak...), and near-certain infertility. For women’s day, I want to tell women that periods should not cause crippling pain, and if they do, beg the doctors for an ultrasound, check for fibroids, and check for endometriosis and just bloody CHECK FOR SOMETHING before a known disease affects all organs in the abdominal cavity, makes us suffer for decades, and leads to a totally avoidable hysterectomy. (Happened to a friend) Scientists of the world, could we do better? #womensHealth #endometriosis #internationalwomensday
  • Until having these churros in #Barcelona, I had no idea why everyone was so fond of the things. But these freshly made churros, with melted chocolate in a xurreria... OMG! Now it all makes sense. And my tastebuds will never be the same again. If you are ever in Barcelona and pass by via Laietana and see a queue, it’ll be for this place. And it is absolutely worth the wait!!! 🥰 #churros #xurros
  • Just crossed the bridge where I took this photo of me a few weeks ago, in my redonculous-sized beret. Reminded me of this old guy ;) #seriousHatCompany
  • Spotted these in the past week. Almond and cherry blossoms are my favourite thing about spring :) 🌸
  • Feels like spring, in February, in London!!!!!
  • Living in London, I really appreciate it when a city makes the effort to signpost what road you are on. #paris #streetSigns In London, signs with street names were taken down during WW2 so any enemies who landed would have no way to orient themselves. And many were never put back.
  • #tbt to Limassol in January 2018... #fiftyshadesofblue
  • Three of my favourite things: a weird architectural construct that accidentally became a cultural icon, moving water, and a sunset!!
  • They say you always remember where you were when you found out the bad news. RIP Karl Lagerfeld. I hope that the afterlife is not boring :)
