keeping up with the joneses
i’m busy busy, settling into a new city, traveling all over the place, making plans for the future and sometimes forgetting to nourish myself. and adjusting to a new home, with different routines, different people and different foods. but i’m trying to keep regular over here, writing 180 words a day for the 180 days [...]

sunday mornings
i’ve been spending a lot of time at home lately. lots of morning time at least – it’s difficult for me to leave the house before midday, given the delivered newspaper, the company, the cat, the outlook onto the street, the sunshine streaming in. and it’s probably me trying to hold onto some sense of [...]

after a week conferencing with the archivists at UCLA, i escaped (and collapsed) to the desert near los angeles. it was hot, dry and dusty, and my couple of days were spent on the concrete at the municipal pool, lying on the couch, sleeping on the couch, lying on the deck and doing very little [...]

rice balls
courtney made these for my last night in sydney for a while. such a nourishing and tasty send off. the recipe from courtney: Brown rice slightly overcooked so it is soft and cloudy. I added cooked amarynth this time which I don’t usually do, but I think the stickiness gave the rice balls extra good [...]

throwing some muses around
before yet another evening of high quality music (i have only just discovered the wonder of sydney in summer – where was i the rest of my life?) i made a pie that i like to call ‘butterfly pie’ – a tribute to the sticker that will never make it to the back of jane’s [...]

this one time, at band camp…
i went on a spontaneous trip to the northern rivers for a week, to hang out with some amazing people and do nothing much but sit and melt in the heat, and cook and eat. and maybe paddle in a creek a bit every now and then, and boogie on the dance floor when the [...]

beans and greens
there’s change in the air and as a result i have been acquiring more furniture. the weekend had me offer to look after a dining table and chairs for jo & mitch, freecycle goodness that doesn’t fit into their new house. i got to test out the new (old) chairs on monday night when a [...]

“you think it’s a schwinn!”*
it’s still all go go go. too much happening, too many people, but sometimes there’s dead silence and no-one around. i can come home to an empty house half the week, with humans and dogs off in other cities or houses or maybe just sleeping quietly. it’s the changing season and the impending beginnings and [...]
