Happy Boxing Day! That’s my outfit yesterday. Today wore these for Two Hour Boxing Day Spin: 1. Look at the attached photo: Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails with a literary twist. 2. A present from my cousin yesterday. Cocktails include: Romeo and Julep Huckleberry Sin Rye and Prejudice Love in the Time of […]
“Everything is ready,” MadFatRunner says. She’s making a new dish for us: warm quinoa salad with halloumi and roasted red peppers. “We need an easy thing to cook that isn’t the Omelette,” she says, “Do you want me to do anything?” I say, as I rest in the nest, eating pickled cucumbers and drinking gin […]
“You’re early,” my trainer says, smiling, at nine o’clock this morning. “Yes,” I say. “The panther’s gone. Been awake since six thirty nine and…” “I’m just going to put my bag in the office,” she says, tying her long hair up. With her hair down, she could be any pretty girl. Hair up, she’s transformed […]
“So, did you get your project in on time?” I ask Seb when he calls last night. “Yes,” he says. “It’s not my best work though. And I didn’t realise till an hour before that we were going to have to do a presentation as well and…” “You’re good at those,” I say, chopping a […]
Some good things: 1. Met the Keeshond in the attached photo today. He’s adorable. 2. Have trial walk with him on Wednesday or Thursday. 3. It’s the Davis Cup final next weekend. 4. Whilst the heating has broken at the parentals, am at the flat where it is warm. 5. Enjoyed some cuddles with the […]
Waking up with a start from my afternoon sleep, looking at my watch, I see that it’s 6.32pm. Opening the curtains, I realise that it’s dark outside. “I’m hungry,” the panther says, kneading my tummy with his paws. “You know where the kitchen is,” I tell him. “I’m not eating yet. Have to write the […]
“So, what are you doing this evening, my lovely?” Seb says when he calls last night at 7.03pm. “Oh, you know,” I say. “Supper, watch that London Spy thriller from last night and…” “Oh, it’s good,” Seb says. “You’ll like it and…” “Well don’t tell me about it,” I say, chopping some broccoli, putting it […]
“So, did you have an exam today, my darling?” I ask Seb when he calls last night. “No,” he says. “We were out doing fieldwork and…” “When do they start?” I say, opening the dishwasher, taking the cups out and putting them in the cupboard. “I think the Ecology ones start this week,” Seb says. […]
Waking up from my afternoon sleep, sitting up in bed, switching my phone on, I look at the time. 4.59pm. Pushing the panther over to the other side of the bed, squeezing out from under his heavy embrace, I make a list in my head of things-that-need-doing: 1. Washing up that’s in the sink. […]
“So how was your first day?” I ask Seb when he calls last night. I’m waiting for my artichoke to cook. It’s simmering away. Not long to go now. The room is filled with its earthy scent. “Oh, good, I think,” Seb says, sounding cheerful, as well he might, having just started a three year […]
