There she is, behind her radio, her jokey monkey, her burnout out candle, her re-purposed jam jars, her florid handsoap, her washing up liquid, her scraggy pan cleaner, abandoned paintbrushes, her clutter of children's claywork. There she is behind a basket of old receipts, boxes of matches, hair clips, unread articles, badges, key rings, fridge magnets, gravy-stained recipe books,… Continue reading What do the people opposite think of me?
The most recent supermoon has woken me up for two nights running. Technically, it was the morning, the small hours, at around 1am both times. On Sunday morning it felt like a surprise to be woken up. I hadn't gone to bed thinking about the moon or looking for it but the moon made sure… Continue reading Supermoon Notebook
If we were having coffee we'd be drinking tea or wine or hot chocolate because it's too late in the afternoon to drink coffee. I'd tell you that I'm carrying a knot of fear and dread around with me that reminds me of when I was a young teenager and I first read about nuclear… Continue reading If we were having coffee…. 13 November

One week of #NaBloPoMo and one week of #NanoPoblano as well of course! The first time I've ever done this. So, what's it been like, so far, blogging every day? Fun, actually, but also quite scary. Fun to think up new ideas, to not overthink - there's no time! - but scary to push the… Continue reading One week of NaBloPoMo
I started using it four years ago, just a few photos to begin with, very sporadically, no hashtags, very few followers, few people I followed, didn't really know what to make of it. Gradually, I started using it more. And more. Looking back at my Instagram now I see several family holidays, posts about jobs… Continue reading Thoughts about Instagram
For years my favourite rollerball pen has been the Mitsubishi Vision Elite and it still holds a very dear place in my heart. Recently, however, I've been enticed by the fine-nibbed charms of the Mitsubishi Eye Needle. I think Andrew brought one home from work and I liked it so much I bought a pack… Continue reading My favourite pen and notebook
