Quick brown fox

Bits and pieces about working with words and drinking wine, and some things inbetween. Lots of plane seats.

It’s a fine (but necessary) line between pleasure and pain. Better humaning: points of note. Page 4. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ftLM1Dqai/?igshid=1dqr52cp3mjtv

Frrrrrresh. With bonus giant bunches of grapes and almost obnoxiously attention-seeking air plants. #thattimeiwenttocalifornia https://www.instagram.com/p/B3TVspADPS9/?igshid=1reh8zfkv86tl

... And transitioning into compassion and empathy. Again with the religious overtones, but most of these were written by a rabbi, so ... eh. Better humaning: points of note. Day 3. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3TUFUOjLFh/?igshid=4lv5ssaelzbs

The little humble kitchen window view I miss every time I leave it. One day when I go away and return, it’s just going to be a tangle of bamboo with a sunbeam struggling to poke through. Best cherish it now, with tea in hand, eh? (at Northcote, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Oe-c4jTLS/?igshid=1lkmatnaj0lve

Immersed in reading about morals, ethics, kindness, compassion, forgiveness and empathy. Better humaning: points of note. Day 1. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LKHOUD_Bx/?igshid=15jye7rji5t28

Run 26, Couchto5k~! And back on it. Appreciating the new hair not getting in the way, avoiding cracks to keep the bad luck at bay, and giving the spring flowers a nod for their resilient return after a dark winter. #runforrestrun #couchto5k (at Northcote, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3BG4VfDYPz/?igshid=1bqi96onvrbpt

Out-of-house editing day. Honestly, I’d be happy editing just about anywhere – a shabby coffee table will do – but this was quite lovely. #pedicurestillgoingstrong #thattimeiwenttohaymanisland (at InterContinental Hayman Island Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sPpkjDLIzSXQCfF3uLS97ckjg79lql10Ml300/?igshid=fzuncn16tnlt

Hey, island friends~! Sure they strip the trees and guano falls from the heavens, and that mysterious raindrop that fell on your arm probably isn’t rain, but they’re such weird, beautiful creatures to see suspended in silhouette. 🦇 #thattimeiwenttohaymanisland (at InterContinental Hayman Island Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mYaQgDZRIMqDGYhwkaFnAVoCLRK-DJYWL4tw0/?igshid=1hhplkgt10ui5

Quiet time. I’m sure at some stage I thought that the sun sucked away the sounds along with the light. Wouldn’t that be nice, if the world could just stop talking and think instead when the sun went down? #thattimeiwenttohaymanisland (at Hayman Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hvy4AjN9abNws85qfIXmNGcLrYHvXeRAUFBc0/?igshid=15peyhp3cb9nl

American Airlines, A321. Seat 6C. Clearly subconsciously looking forward to a gooood cup of joe. I will miss you, San Francisco, and your sunshine, and your pretty places and glorious bars. But it’s time for this heart to find its way back home. #collectingseatsforgoodluck (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2QRJ26D6tA/?igshid=mvk8qrsxmxbf

On this day of holidaying with the rich and famous, I trecked up this hill and licked an ant’s butt because it was supposed to taste like sherbet. It really did taste like sherbet. I put my tasty six-legged pal back, safe and sound, but I’m sure its little ant brain was horrified. Sorry, tiny one. 🐜 #thattimeiwenttohaymanisland (at InterContinental Hayman Island Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B172_j2Doim/?igshid=tp5g50oen1yf

Beautiful scenery married with beautiful words. But honestly not the best romantic island holiday reading choice. A furrowed brow and ugly-crying by the pool didn’t go with my cute new bikini at all. #booksandsand #thattimiwenttohaymanisland (at InterContinental Hayman Island Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/B10WPJcjam6/?igshid=za4c1tmebu52
