We went today to watch the GF’s former colleague preach at his evangelical church. Previously, the only church services we had attended together were his father’s funeral and the clown service in Hackney, so I suppose we are yet to experience, together, something that is not out of the ordinary. The church belongs to the […]
All the world
All the world’s news clearly comes from the US, as far as the BBC is concerned. Their news coverage, at least its online version, has been getting more and more irritating in recent years. First there was the reorganisation of its regional coverage so that instead of East Asia, South Asia, etc they now have […]
Burning butterfly
Another dream account, for which I apologise to the reading hordes. I dreamt that I was in the Karachi house, upstairs in the little mini-flat portion that my family lived in (my grandparents lived downstairs in the main house). It was as it had been when I was growing up there, with an opening to […]
A flashback to an earlier time
Three hundred Ramayanas .
Animal dreams
Two vivid animal dreams over the past few nights. In one, I was to ride around a meadow on a horse, but get back inside before the wolf attacked. The horse’s back was very vivid indeed. On one circuit as I was at the far end of the meadow I looked up to see a […]
Sigh
In a fit of generosity I unblocked everyone I had previously blocked on Facebook. Some for nearly a decade. What a mistake.
That that
Annoyingly, after many years of freedom, my eczema has returned. After a couple of splotches in the usual places (arms, back of the neck) it decided to settle overnight on a new and challenging spot, around my waist, where chafing is very hard to avoid. I’ve been mostly good about ignoring the itching, but I […]
Silence is best
Another busy day today and likely to be a busy few weeks too come. What I have been thinking can’t written on a blog, even one that no one reads, so this is all for now.
Giving in
A quiet Sunday. Went for dim sum to a new place. It had trolleys, but was otherwise not very good. I managed a good bit of writing last night after thinking I would not get any done at all. Heard from someone who has decided not to engage in confrontation with a long-term nemesis, and […]
GF returns
The GF is back from his week long work trip to Dhaka and in remarkable spirits for one who had been on the verge of exhaustion before he left and had a very full time whilst there. It appears to have been a profoundly rewarding time and has opened interesting possibilities for what he and […]
