I want it to go on
this deep blue tide that trembles
at the edge of the sky.”

– from ‘broken’ by Max Ryan

I’ve had better months. It felt as though a plague took our house. Each of us got sick one at a time (poor W got two goes), which meant that at least someone was sick for two weeks straight. I’m not sure what was more of a pain – trying to care for two rambunctious kids while feeling like shit myself, or looking after a small sick little darling who wanted to, literally, cuddle all day long. In amongst it all though were some lovely moments. A weekend away on the blue beaches of Byron Bay with my parents and their partners, my brother and sister-in-law and gorgeous little niece. And being a part of the vigil for Baby Asha in support of the doctors and nurses at Lady Cilento Hospital was heartbreaking, of course, but also heartwarming.

I’m looking forward to March – onwards, my friends! In the meantime, some favourites for you all…

Enjoy!

The best meal I ever ate was Masala Dosa at a busy little restaurant in Delhi – looking forward to giving this version a try
I’m throwing this one in for my own nostalgia – in our early uni days my friend Anna and I used to drink White Russians, and cause ruckus!
Women doing great things in the Democratic Republic of Congo
“It is the truest, highest purpose of language to make things clear and help us see; when words are used to do the opposite you know you’re in trouble and that maybe there’s a coverup.” Why is Rebecca Solnit always so. damn. good.
And just once more, for good measure, #LetThemStay
