Week 22/2023: A weekend of theatre
Week of 29 May 2023 A weekend of theatre! The SpongeBob Musical Kramstable was in his school’s production of The SpongeBob Musical, which they’ve been working on since school started in February. No, I didn’t know SpongeBob was a musical either until Kramstable told me that’s what they were...
Week 15/2023: The air we breathe
Week of 10 April 2023 I love short weeks! I mean, with a public holiday the week isn’t any shorter but I have more of it to myself. So it’s actually a longer week from that perspective. We had visitors over the easter break and what else do you...

Week 52/2022: Week of 26 December 2022 It’s not the end I’m one of those lucky people for whom the end of the year is an enforced shutdown. My favourite thing to do during this week is to not do anything and not go anywhere. And that is precisely...

Week 33/2022: Arty adventures
Week of 15 August 2022 Arty adventures Tuesdays are my half days at work. When I have a medical appointment at 12.00, which doesn’t happen very often because I normally get in at 2.20, my work day gets cut back to about two and a half hours. This Tuesday...
Week 32/2022: Joyful movement
Week of 8 August 2022 Joyful movement After writing about movement a few weeks ago, I started thinking about my walking habit. Walking is one of the things that I do. My habit has been to get up early and go for a walk before anyone else is up...
