Ex-academic. Ex-engineer. I like opera, theatre, live music, art. Mathematics and science interest me. I read a lot, nowadays, knit a bit, and go out less than I would like to. Random posts, no theme.

We get letters which are obviously parking penalties for someone who has never lived here. Several of them a week. We give them back to the postman who takes them good-naturedly, but I’m not sure how we’ll deal with the eventual court summons

I don’t buy expensive ones, but they do have to be cotton. Can’t stand the feel of polyester

We don’t have a tumble drier, but we did invest in a heated airer for in the winter. Added bonus, it takes the chill off the room it’s in

Jeans go on a hanger straight out of the washing machine. Pull into shape while damp. Quilt covers crease as soon as you get into bed so no point ironing those!

Too abstract and “mindfulness” sounding for me this week, but I’ll be interested to see what people make of it

Just water and some honey. I add a few spices (saffron, cardamom, ginger and star anise this time). They are delicious warm, and also cold from the fridge. And they freeze. Sometimes I use vanilla syrup instead of honey, and I plan to try maple syrup
