I’m swooning a bit today. Floating in the way I have been doing in the last few days, between, welcoming thinking too much, too deeply and feeling too much and not wanting to think feel or even do anything. I crave conversation. I crave silence. I want to read. I need to write. I want [...]
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being [...]
First let me say; my granny (my mother’s mother) has been dead for very nearly 10 years. So no I don’t mean she’s literally calling, or even from the grave or even in a meta-physical sense. I mean that I often wonder what she would make of the world around me. I find myself asking [...]

I like where I’m living. But it has one key shortcoming; a severe lack of close (and good) coffee. I am a coffee snob I’m afraid, so this stuff matters (at least to me). So desperate times called for compromising measures. I do have a plunger, but sometimes a girl needs that frothy milk. So [...]
PB and I were watching You’ve Got Mail tonight, the result of a time limited offer on PB’s behalf (and probably Valentine inspired as well). Two brief thoughts occur to me.

This is a photo of this evening’s labour.
