Clearing out a drawer today, I came across a small, square box which contained a necklace that I had received for some Christmas or birthday and which I had completely forgotten about. I’ve never really been one for necklaces — I don’t like the feeling of a weight of hanging off my neck, and this [...]

M was home yesterday when I got some bad news, and he got the full force of my anger and frustration. It wasn’t fair to take it out on him — he’s got enough on his mind at the moment — but he was there. He was there because his company had sent him home [...]

Something I Miss: The chemist’s shop (pharmacy) in the little town where I lived in the UK was a step back in time, and delightful and frustrating for it in equal measure. If it had disabled access, I was unaware — all I know is that it had a narrow doorway and an awkward step [...]
