Public service announcement
Friends, if you ever find yourself in a supermarket wearing flip flops, be warned. Dropping a bottle of wine on your foot will cause you a great deal of physical damage. This happened to me this afternoon, and, seven hours later, my big toe is still bleeding! I think my toe nail is about to fall off and my foot does not look very pretty. Being a woman you would think i am used to the sight of blood by now, but it turns out this is a myth. Blood spilling out on to the floor of Waitrose while a spotty 18-year-old first aider tries to find a sticking plaster (yeah, like that’s gonna help) is NOT a pleasing sight.
OW!
The photo above is what i would have been making for dinner tonight for my friend and I had.I.not.dropped.a.bottle.of.bloody.wine.on.my.foot.
Saturday afternoon
I’m having such fun expanding my portfolio. Today I spent a few hectic hours with my twin step-nephews, and they both have the most smile-y faces and the most infectious laughs. It was impossible to take a bad photo of them!

Two years, two months, two days. I didn’t miss you yesterday, I didn’t really think about you. You are so far now, I do not sense you behind the door in the bathroom, I do not wonder if you’re hiding beneath the duvet in the dark. I catch myself wondering if I even knew you, if we’d ever met, now that you are a shadow, a breeze, a forgotten song. I miss you, but sometimes I find myself wondering whom it is I miss. That is how far away you are. Out of reach, out of sight, out of time; sometimes out of my mind. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to forget, it’s just that being alive takes up a lot of time – you knew this better than anyone else. You’re still my last thought at the end of the end though.
