Spring back, fall forward


We have no power
We are finite
But for two hours a year
We can stop time

Parting is so hard...

...when you try to throw away post-it notes

Thoughts on chocolate...

"Hotel Chocolat - the seriously delicious British chocolate shop." (Company slogan)

If it's British, why isn't it called Chocolate Hotel?

BST

It's Saturday and the sunshine
which taunted my office windows all week
has been replaced by rain.
Brutish British Summer Time
plays its nasty tricks again

There's nothing like...

There's nothing like shopping for dulling the spirit
Making you realise comfort food had a price
That it wasn't just your mother's smile you inherited
when you can't fit into your usual size
