A friend of mine once told me she loved attending events on a Sunday evening because she feels she’s extending the weekend, making the most of her time. I was inclined to agree since I often find myself spending half of my Sundays contemplating the impending responsibility of Monday and the upcoming week’s potential deadlines, not the best … Continue reading Under the Stars

A Tasteful Afternoon
The sunshine was glorious over the long weekend just gone and it was wonderful to sit outside, sleeveless, making some vitamin D while drinking something cool. Not a bad way to feel like you’re on holiday, although, I couldn’t help cast my mind back to a recently tranquil afternoon spent relaxing in the sun. On … Continue reading A Tasteful Afternoon
My Own Revolution
I remember feeling a bit lost joining a queue outside a venue called Revolution I’d never been to in a town I’d just arrived in for my first and only visit. A friend and I had just been driven to Fort Lauderdale from Delray Beach by a colleague for a once in a lifetime opportunity, … Continue reading My Own Revolution
Hanging with the Cool Kid
I listen to music a lot of the time. At work it helps me drown out the background noise and focus on what needs to be done and at home it makes chores a bit more fun. Tunes can also gear me up before a night out and wind me down once back indoors. Sometimes … Continue reading Hanging with the Cool Kid
The Crow of Grief
Leaving the Barbican Centre last Friday I was shaken, a little broken and feeling the need to meditate to regain my centre. I had just seen Enda Walsh’s adaption of Max Porter’s book: “Grief is the Thing with Feathers”. Never before have I seen the tricksy beast that is grief so accurately, uncomfortably and viscerally manifested. … Continue reading The Crow of Grief
A ‘Feel Good’ Morning
I woke up at 4:45am mid last week. Willingly (perhaps masochistically), I’d set my alarm for ridiculous o’clock because of the winter time difference between the UK and South Africa. My sister, being the culinary creative force that she is, was appearing on a breakfast programme, Expresso, and had two planned segments that morning showing … Continue reading A ‘Feel Good’ Morning
A Unique Showcase
Living in London means I am fully spoiled when it comes to the opportunity of seeing some fantastic and famous art. It's not crossed my mind that most of it, if not all, has been produced by European or American artists. The first time I started to realise how skewed my exposure was, was seeing … Continue reading A Unique Showcase
Magic
The other day my niece came to show me her new little toiletry bag. As uneventful as it sounds, when you live on the other side of the planet to your family, being able to visit and be present for those little moments is a treasure. She then informed me however, of her problem of … Continue reading Magic
Oh Hai (ku)
It's been a little while since I've written since life has been happening 'to me' more than with or around me, but anyone who follows me on Facebook or Instagram will have seen I have been somewhat prolific with posting haikus lately. A haiku, for anyone who doesn't know, is a concise three line poem … Continue reading Oh Hai (ku)
People Have The Power
Camden felt oddly quiet last Friday evening. Nestled into my seat I could hear my neighbour softly singing along to Under Pressure and I admonished myself for stifling that same urge. I was in a surprisingly comfy seat behind mixing desks (oddly with images of Napoleon Dynamite on their screens) with a soft blue light washing … Continue reading People Have The Power
