My Way

Tomorrow is our first wedding anniversary. It’s been quite a year, all told. Including one wedding, one patch of unemployment, one agonising wait for a visa, one international move, and one global pandemic. I mean, We had some control over some of those things, but they all amounted to quite a big series of life-changes.Continue reading “My Way”

I’m on my way

“I said I’m on my way” It’s been a funny day, because here I am, after my frist day back at work after leave, during which I was planning to do lots of things (like my damn programming pset), and quite a lot of writing. I did some of the things on my epic listContinue reading “I’m on my way”

Radar Love

It conjours some delicious connotations of driving off into the distance, especially framing driving as part of the joy – we want to enjoy not only the destination, butContinue reading “Radar Love”

Angels

Danger Zone

I made possibly the tastiest-I’ve-managed-so-far fried rice this evening for supper. It’s kind of one of those dishes that I know should be easy, but there is a lot to be said for consistent practice and watching the experts. Since the start of Lockdown, I’ve watched a whole lot of Bon Appetit (particularly Gourmet Makes,Continue reading “Danger Zone”

Fight Song/Amazing Grace

It’s a Sundayish sort of feeling, sitting on the couch in the lounge and watching the last rays of sun creeping over the edge of the cloud as the sun sets. Thinking about the weekend that has passed, and the week that lies ahead. One of my favourite mash-ups of all time, by one ofContinue reading “Fight Song/Amazing Grace”
