A Pleasant Evening

It was my birthday this week, and I had a very pleasant evening. A couple of weeks ago my other half asked me what I wanted to do. Do we go to a nice restaurant? What about tapas? Maybe a takeaway? Well, I decided that I wanted the two of us to spend some quality time together, and their ADHD lends them towards quieter, more secluded venues; preventing overstimulation. They also love meals which are more engaging, where you have to assemble it yourself, and have a mixture of textures and flavours. Something they call ‘picky bits’.

I will not be Notified

For a year or so I have been struggling with my relationship with my phone. I am on it far too much, doing far too much of nothing. Hours have passed, and I have achieved nothing. I have learned nothing.

Where are you, Fluff?

It’s been a tough week in the Whittlesea-Clark household. One of our cats, didn’t come down for dinner on Wednesday, and hasn’t been seen since.

Solar Eclipse

It probably didn’t pass you by that there was a unique opportunity to see the moon pass in front of the sun on the 12th August.

Glorious Rain

It finally rained! Praise whatever god you fancy, or just praise Jibbers, but today is the day I remembered that water can fall from the sky.

South Korea Round-up

In case you missed it, I have been writing day-by-day accounts of my holiday in South Korea. This is a ‘round up’ of my observations, and my best places to go.

Goodbye South Korea

It’s time to visit a Tea Museum, fly back to Seoul for some last-minute shopping, and then head home and say goodbye to South Korea.
