the nonspace of my mind

  • Retreat

    Retreat

    As with most things I read about autism, it took me a long time to recognise that I have special interests. It’s not that I’m interested in gardening you see, it’s that I want to create a space that has a certain vibe, and achieving that involves gardening. It’s just a means to an end.…

  • Wednesday

    Wednesday

    Casual after work Entmoot. Being back at work is a highly complex beast.

  • Seasonality

    Seasonality

    ‘How’s your summer?’. It’s the greeting of the season, and one that always throws me for a loop. I grew up in a place where the seasons blend together, in a city known to experience what some call ‘four seasons in one day’. Summer was not really an event so much as something to be…

    Soul food

    When I moved out of home I didn’t know how to cook anything. I love food though, so I decided to learn a few things and see what I could come up with. I got really into it, made some delicious meals, enjoyed entertaining, posted about it regularly on socials. Then somewhere along the way…

Best accompanied by a walk around the block. Can’t get enough shade this week, but as I wilt I’m still grateful we haven’t had…

  • Crabby Thursday

    At low tide you can walk a long way out. The crabs get bigger as you go.

  • Forest techno run

    Summer edition. The rainforest in sunshine after a week of rain. Some good solid tunes.

  • Day 3

    Monday, first day properly off schedule. While I had a typically early and anxious start to a travel day, we had a good plan that served us well and we even got to fit in a stop at a second hand book store. We were relieved to find Pulp Fiction Books still open in Mount…

  • Day 2

    We rode the robot train again this morning, and a boat. Then we watched the jellyfish.

  • Day 1

    Day 1

    We said goodbye to Grandpa out by the dykes where he used to walk. He was famous out there, and lots of people came to share stories of the parts of him they knew; having lived to 105, there were many. It was a touching way to close a chapter. For dinner last night we…
