So I follow this artist Cocorrina whom I keep planning on buying a set of tarot cards from. But, she posted a lovely poem for today which I feel deep within my bones: The Yellow light of an opal On the white-walled houses dies The roadway beyond my garden It glimmers with golden eyes. Alone […]

Happy year of the ox 🐂. Saw Chinatown getting all ready to celebrate yesterday, a lot quieter than normal! No parade, no crowds, but still fresh paint, new lanterns hanging up. People eating lots of dumplings 🥟 and noodles 🍝 # Chinatown #lunarnewyear #yearoftheox (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPWuBdJZfq/?igshid=16f0vllw4y6ao

Last night I treated myself to some delicious ramen via @sunnoodles and @ippudo. It arrives all frozen and with everything you need apart from garnishes. It was a wonderful easy dish. #ramen #ippudo #mondaynight (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFbKwop4se/?igshid=an0jrfmwaghe

Today’s snaps. I took a long walk to ferry building and fisherman’s wharf and then home to catch the sky tinged with pink. Saw sailboats, Alcatraz, sea lions, and had a cookie to celebrate my sister’s birthday 🎂. #craftsmenandwolves #alcatraz #sealions #sundaywalk #sunset #sf (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKLAGW5JUHX/?igshid=2xvm860gtuqt
Listening to Kimball Collins Blitz channel on Twitch and tonight is 70’s rock, so many songs I know but I learnt one new artist: Wow! He wrote Sugar Sugar as well for the Archies. I love this song, it is so wonderfully 70’s. I love a lot of the songs that I know and earlier […]
Well, today was unexpected! Never mind electoral college, rather people storming the Capital and people getting shot. And then the blame game, fuck me! I watched it live, thanks to the magic of twitch streaming, and it was proud boys, white supremacists (are they the same?), mainly overweight white men, but not all – a […]
I got tested today, for the first time! Isn’t that amazing? I had the antibodies test back in September I think, or later but no real worries about exposure. Last weeks flight back to SF was the first time I was scared I was exposed. I waited 6 days to get my test, so antibodies […]
Today is the first Monday of 2021, that means all healthy habits start today, all New Year Resolutions etc. What a burden to be a Monday you carry this heavy load. Practically rocks, and by Thursday it has fallen away. All the advice lately is make small changes, incremental that you can continue, what a […]
Sometimes sadness tastes like gummy bears, that sickly cloying taste that overwhelms you.
Well I made it through 2020, not how i thought i would either. I look back at 2020’s January 1st posting, and I am shocked how happy and carefree things feel, when in reality the virus was bearing down already. How could we know so little, be so connected and yet so disconnected? Hopes and […]

Merry Christmas 🎄 all. Spending it with family and up early with Noah waiting for the rest to wake up. #christmas2020 #tree #nephews (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJOON5qpeOk/?igshid=f39v1z12gw5q
