At the shallow end.
More by luck than good management, my hairdressers have been quite gifted. Artistes, it has been said, sometimes by people who’ve gone to them too and can’t stand the palaver as they decide what to do next. I must admit … Continue reading
A day in that very big apple.
So. The injury sustained whilst gardening and assumed at first to be in the lower back, then to be hamstring related, is in fact sciatica. Which is just a word. For sometimes screaming pain radiating out from behind my right … Continue reading

Three a.m.
It’s been too hot to sleep and at three o’clock in the morning you may as well go googling as do anything else. Things come to mind then that may escape you in the daylit hours. And one thing can … Continue reading

Flickr – ing.
I’ve been putting some (hundreds) of my trip photos on Flickr. Trawling through them, sorting, fiddling with, listing, uploading, tagging, labelling, admiring. It’s a big project I’ve taken on. I live my days around it. I don’t do it all … Continue reading

Someone took some photos at a dinner I was at. I saw the photos and the ones that I was in. I looked again and I thought, I look so old. I am so old, of course, but I am … Continue reading
It’s that time again.
The reflections of the year that’s about to pass are all around. News, pictures, stories, tragedies, disasters, events. What was news makes news again. Lest we forget. I look at the year I’ve just lived and see, easily in my … Continue reading
