Let’s try this app thing on the phone… There was a point when I was sitting on the kerb homeless, surrounded by all my worldly goods while another family moved into my home behind me. Thankfully, I was only waiting for the van to come back for the final load. Even so, it felt weird. It…

Attic Table Tennis Woke up this morning to the sound of birds in the attic. Your actual birds in your actual attic, that is. I’m often asked what a particular animal or bird “means”, in the mistaken belief that every encounter with the animal kingdom is necessarily a message from Great Spirit.
