Okay, so it was nothing like a Roxette song, but it was an adventure. There’s not much more freeing than packing your stuff into the back of your own car and driving into the sunset. And there’s not much more grown up than realising when you are really really tired and should stop to sleep […]
My younger self spent many (MANY) hours sitting on benches in various parks and town squares, eating icecream. Sometimes by myself, sometimes with friends, sometimes (and probably most often) with my siblings. This was such a common occurrence, that we each kept an emergency spoon in our bags or wallets. Yesterday I found myself alone […]
I use various instant messaging apps on my phone. Just now, I opened one, and all the Ks were missing, from all the words. Just imagine a world with no Ks. Edit: my brother says that it was very k-less of me to lose them…
I’ve just been jolted out of an uneasy sleep in an uncomfortable aircraft seat by a food trolley. The absent minded trolley pusher rammed the trolley into my knee. I can only imagine it wasn’t intentional, so I can’t really be cross, even if it a) hurt, and b) woke me up. It seems like […]
The first session starts in 14 minutes. I feel totally unprepared, but I hope it won’t matter. I am also quite sweaty, which is worse than unprepared. The 18 degrees they promised us this morning when I put jeans on, have turned into at least 25, probably closer to 28, and the leisurely walk I […]
Kate asked me earlier if I would prefer a partner who would cheer me up when I was down, or one who would cheer me on when I was doing well.
That very short list just about covers the things I’m living for at the moment.
I don’t agree with Ronan Keating – I think life’s more like a pinball machine than a roller coaster..
Sometimes the world is so grey and bleugh, that I don’t care about going to work. Sometimes it looks like this: and I’d rather find somewhere to sit and bask in the sunshine…
How come sometimes it’s so easy to talk through the night, and sometimes so hard to find any words at all?
It’s growing! 🙂
A seed fell out of my lunch yesterday:
The very best way to round off a day which involved learning, aged 30, that not only does potato soup go mouldy over the course of 18 hours, but also that you’re apparently incapable of closing the curtains correctly, has to include tipping 4 litres of said mouldy soup into the toilet and momentarily blocking […]
Hello people, I’m still alive, but I might not write for a while. Not that I’ve written in ages anyway. I can’t concentrate on anything long enough to write a post that makes sense. My mind jumps continuously from project to project to project: the garden, my work, school, the house, the committee I’m on, […]
