The last couple of weeks have been a haze and a blur of pain, aches, and snuffed-up noses. I mananged to contract a pretty decent cold on top of recovering from surgery, WELL DONE ME. To make things even more fun, the Boyo had it last week when he was home baby-wrangling while I was […]

And by ‘it’, I obviously mean ‘me’. Just checking in to say that despite the fact I’ve thought of a couple of posts over the last nearly-three weeks, I haven’t been able to connect them with a computer to get them posted. Don’t even remember what they were, now. Eh. But the last three weeks
Sort of as a follow-up to the last post, and because it’s something I’ve been thinking a lot about the last few days, I wanted to make a list of all the things I’ve done/am doing to work towards my manifesto. It’s nice, when things get overwhelmingly BIG, to focus on the small picture sometimes.

This makes me irrationally happy. Octopuses and I have a very love-terror relationship: the freak the heck out of me, but I also adore them. In other news, I think I have begun to clarify my relationship with writing. Happy days. Also, the bread-shoggoth is beginning to make bubbles; hopefully we shall have an

The bread experiment: full points for flavour, half points for texture. Crust was perfect, inside edible while hot but gooey and gluggy after cooling.
