Day 111. Yep still counting, it’s slightly dramatic but it helps me remember there was a before and now there is now. Let’s talk about walking. Do you like it? I had forgotten how much I do like it actually and I feel very foolish thinking about the years I’ve wasted (I tried running on …
Day 108 since the lockdown. As a sentence it sounds a little like the beginning of your stereotypical post apocalypse novel, and I haven’t decided if its veracity is chilling or merely something to shrug off. There’s a lot of talk about the ‘new normal’, of how the ‘old normal’ wasn’t functioning… well let me …
One good thing about this enforced home stay is that even the mending pile, suddenly offers some welcome relief from the monotony of the daily routine. We’re doing ok, we have room to disperse and not be in each other’s pockets unless we want to but even so the ‘openendness’ of the whole affair can …

I finally found some dishwasher tablets that are not covered in plastic (even if it’s biodegradable it still ends up in the environment this time at microlevel). They’ve been very good so far but I’ve just opened the dishwasher and everything was very opaque and covered in a white/salty residue… mmmmhh Maybe a dud one? …
I realise I haven’t been here for a while, but the world is going mad and I’m struggling to put coherent thoughts down. The V-word… a tiny virus that is totally messing with our lives and forcing us to change how we operate from day to day. Where we live is not too bad (yet)… …
It’s foggy out there and I like it. I grew up in the middle of Italy in an area famous for fog so thick that sometimes you can only see a few metres in front your car and the gentle grey fuzziness of this morning is making me nostalgic. I bought a pair of clogs. …
