“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 […]
“Aren’t you going to get changed?” Mum says, looking at my purple vest top and black gym trousers. “No,” I say. We’re about to set off for the hospital to see my breast surgeon. “But don’t you want to look nice for Seb?” Mum says. Seb is coming to the parentals for dinner. “It’s not […]

Despite the presence of the panther, there are some good things happening: There were artichokes in the market today again. Bought four. Am at my Office. Just met up with a friend for coffee. Am wearing a bright pink dress which looks pretty. Haven’t worn it for a while. Is good to have rediscovered it […]
