Musings :: Moments :: Memories
One of the things on my 23 in 2023 list that I wanted to achieve was to make a photo book. I am aware that nearly all our photos in recent years are solely in digital form. It is true that we occasionally peruse the Photos app, and share photos that pop up on our… Continue reading The Magic of a Photograph

I used to be so good at recording a lot of the little moments that happened on a dedicated Twitter account but now Twitter is tarnished (thanks, Elon) I need to decide what to do with these so they don't get lost and decide if I continue or move to Threads/elsewhere.

My word of the year has already made an impact. I made a list… Continue reading Five Lovely Things about January
Around here Austin and I stayed in pyjamas for most of the day while Austin had his tummy problems treatment. He handled it like a champ. Around here we binge watched a new home make over show on Netflix called Instant Dream Home. Around here I marked books. Around here Rich and Evelina did a… Continue reading Around Here
