3BT – snow day, elastic, killing is fun, same soup
1. Even without my glasses or raising my head from the pillows, I can tell the world’s gone white again. Our plans are abandoned and we give ourselves a snow day of relaxation. 2. The cheese stretches between my teeth and the toasted bread shell. 3. I rarely play PvP battlegrounds and forgot how much [...]
Six Beautiful Things from the weekend
1. “This wood will keep you warm next winter,” I tell Carla as she watches me pull thick branches from the giant pile and stack them on the dormant flower bed. Further down the garden, John is building a platform where the wood will season while I’m sorting it from the twigs (which will be [...]
3BT – racing, productive, post office, cheese, wowed by WoW
1. A few people have suggested we have a second bathroom installed on our lower ground floor – near the area which will be our office – but if we did, we’d have no reason to race up the stairs, pushing past each other, pulling back on jeans’ waistbands, when we both realise we need [...]

Later, colourful coated kids trek along the hidden path to go sledging in the distant meadow. 2. For the first half hour of cooking, looking at the dry [...]
3BT – squirrel spiral, selfless attack, cake
(One from last night first) 0. I cleanse and moisturise my face before going to bed. When I look in the mirror, the cream has replaced the pallor of the day with healthy pink. 1. Two squirrels spin a spiral around the silver birch tree. 2. Considering it’s supposed to be a World of Warcraft, [...]
3BT – nice’n'easy, welcome home, food for you
1. Tuna bagel melts. Sometimes easy food is THE BEST. 2. I finally decide to give into the thing I’ve been craving for the last six months or so – World of Warcraft. I played it a lot, too much, four years ago but stopped when I left the uni because I worried it would [...]
