The way it is according to moi

​ Do you remember Sesame Street? Each episode was brought to you by a letter in the alphabet. I think this blog will be brought to you by a listening soundtrack and location of where I’m writing to you.  Today’s soundtrack is David Bowie and I’m writing from Hampstead Heath . It’s been far too long since I’ve been here. I’ve only been here for about 29 minutes and it’s healing already.  This is one of my favourite parks and I should come here more. One of my most favourite London streets is here. I dream of living on this road one day. Check out Hillway, Makepeace Ave and Langbourne Ave. Big pretty houses. Probably normal American size but big for the average Brit. I think I like it because it’s something that would you would see on TV. To be honest, these houses look quite American really. Anyhow, it’s a private gated community called Holly Lodge Estate .  Now for my typical contradiction, I don’t believe in private roads and estate. Go figure.  If you find yourself...

​ Just wanted to come on and say hi.   I’ve been lying low recently, more than normal. There are a few reason for this. One is my health, it’s been so up and down (for ever) and the trick is to just listen to my body and rest. I’ve had so many acutes that my body doesn’t even know what normal feels like. I had to say, thank goodness was for TV, Films, Books and podcasts.  Another reason why I’m still in hibernation despite it being Spring is that it costs so much to go out. Even a walk into town results in an expense, eggs, bread, chai etc. Luckily I can afford these things, I’m just trying to spend less and only make purchases that are really a necessity. A pro of being more mindful with my money, is that financial pressures will be easing up soon. Hooray for that!  I had a massive download last night. Here I go.

21/03/2021 The Covid Diaries - Day 375   It's been a while. I’m still here, thank god.    I should just write about gratitude but I’m going to go with selfcare. My form of selfcare is to rant a bit. I’m hoping that after I get this off of my chest, I will feel a bit better and less stuck.    If I had to describe how I’m feeling in one word it would be stuck.    If I went with more words I would say that I am frustrated, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, politically, aesthetically, sexually, and socially. Yep I think that sums it up.    In other news for my small reader crowd, I’ll give you a quick recap.    I have escaped this virus and touch wood have not picked it up at all. I’m still vegan, It will be 10 years in January. In May I will have lived in the UK for 20 years. I’m still devastated about Brexit and I think about it often. I bought an EU hoody that I wear proudly. Often on zoom calls with stakeholders that I...
