Attended Black in Tech Festival. Of course it was great being amongst 500-ish black folks in tech. And it was great going with colleagues too. At least 6 of us went. Enthused to put more time and energy into black-oriented things at work. It makes such a difference not being alone. Obviously. But, like, it’s […]

What I’m dreaming, scheming and actualising each week…
an amazing aide memoir — my memory sucks so having a searchable archive of my comings, goings and ideas is regularly useful

Connecting with trees and chilling by water I began the week chilling by Lilla Värten, a strait in Stockholm, Sweden. It’s so beautiful. Continued by walking along, and over, the River Thames in London. Ended the week by speeding over Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria, Germany. These views are a timely reminder that working a full-time […]

Daily routines for better sleep hygiene Building on last week’s sleep hygiene improvements… In addition to leaving my phone on flight mode, I started leaving it in the living room. And taking only my secondary device to my bedroom for an alarm to wake me up and music & meditation apps to help me sleep. […]

I’m practising being inspired, which means taking Artist Dates and hooking tiny actions to existing habits I have. Like, listening to music whilst I do my Morning Pages and exploring on the page ways of writing in flow. And I’m steadily preparing for my job with a focus on wellness. I start tomorrow! How to […]
The week that started 16th September
All about preparation and readiness this week. I’m so rested and ready to start my new job that I detangled my hair*, did the grocery shopping for a meditation retreat and stocked up on food for myself for September without breaking a sweat. * Edited to add: during which time I watched 4 films 🥴 […]

Away and back again I love being away and I love being back. My last day in Málaga I welcomed both sunrise and sunset at beaches, with my feet in the sea and on the sand. Listened to Here Comes the Sun by Nina Simone on the way. Writing leads to inspiration, not the other […]
The week that started 2nd September
I flew to Málaga on Monday; I fly back this Monday too, a week later. Views that greeted me shortly after arrival…: Watched ‘Styling Hollywood’ with friends, researched crocodilians for my novel and ate beans on toast. Living the life. I read out an extract from my novel, which was exhilarating, and I’m so glad […]

This has been a week of endings. But I’m not sad. Because I see it as a week of renewed beginnings. Like, because I’ve finished The Artist’s Way, again, I get to start it. Again. Endings are a cause for celebration. I’ve successfully completed four weeks of study. I’ve learned about learning. Now I’ll learn […]

Here are some words about: Scientists. Learning. Writing. And some photos. Enjoy! I’m on a writing residency and it’s time for sleep before another packed day. Baa. Meeting scientists & discovering my own love of science Last week I randomly, and wonderfully, met a senior researcher at the Natural History Museum, who’s a marine biologist. […]
