The List of Rules ... When I was at university, at least a year ago (ahem) I spotted a poster advertising a show on the campus radio station (for which you needed an actual radio, naturally) It said 'never eat anything bigger than your head' and that seemed like pretty good advice. Well...

My current lesson to myself is this: 'And this is the story I am telling myself' ... in other words, whatever I am imagining about various situations is exactly that, and nothing more (even if it turns out to be broadly accurate!)

In which I start Christmas Day by coming down with a highly productive cold in the middle of the night. Sore throat, gallons of mucus, uncontrollable sneezing. Joy!

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

An odd few days for me. Beautiful weather in a place I love, but it's not enjoyable. My dad died on Monday night, and I am broadly fine, but feeling the gap, the ending, the change, and it is a heavy, solid sadness that I am holding and carrying. ... grieving is a complex process, and this is mine.

Crazy dystopian vibe with a spicy, crunchy mix of REALLY?!?! sauce and OMG?!?! salad - I make this wild yet somehow believable prediction: The next person to be US President will be Elon Musk.

Happy Merry Xmas to all of you, and if Xmas isn't your thing, Happy Merry Non Xmas instead.

Good morning :-) Today I am being made redundant from the charity I work for part time, and this is a Good Thing. The software project I've been instrumental in is a success, so they don't need me any more & are free of their previous very expensive M$ system. More money for good works! Success!
