It's a hard one indeed!
I think especially once you realise that the story continues to shift and change as we do...
And so much of a life lived. So many moments and all that!
Hoping you're warm and safe and okay.

Yes! I know other authors who write about shit like this realize this, too. There's so many formats, so many options... Truth be told, I do want to write about it, but I don't want to waste time writing some bullshit. I want to create something that is really worth reading. And I don't know if I have the talent enough to do that... (Not asking for praise/encouragement, just lamenting possible truths, lol.)
Super warm and cozy eating salad in front my space heater! Probably not as warm as you though, under the African Sun.
P.S. Just now learned today (Dec 1) is Antarctica Day! Since you're much closer, I wish you a very happy Antarctica Day indeed. One of those bucket list places.
Good lords and ladies I missed Antarctica day?!
Sorry so late to respond. School hols, trying to find a new rental, car trouble, computer charger died, blah blah when it rains it pours.
But yeah. It's summer and the sun has been shining.
I'm warm but tired. But warm. But tired.
And yes to writing anything, really. It ebbs and flows and stalls and then flows again. I suspect it depends a lot on how and where we are internally.
And externally because a lot of us depends on our surroundings.
Jealous af. Wish I was tucked away in a very fucking far off cabin and could sit in front if a fire, read, write and make art all day
And cookies. 👍🏼 Loads and loads of cookies.
Hope you had a wonderful filled weekend 🪷
Shit, should I be making cookies??!!
If it makes you feel any better, you wouldn't be jealous of the thick filmy drizzle or the cold and humid days. How long is a summer day down there? I'm not familiar with your latitude location. In peak summer we get something like 17 hours of sun or something ridiculous.
Fuck yeah!!! Cookies are mandatory!!
Still sounds awesome.
Here. We're kinda lucky, I guess. Mild wonders and nice summers.
Coldest is 14 Celsius on a grim day and usually between 35 and 32 in summer :)
The sun is fierce though! It'll fry you in minutes African sun fierce!
But altogether down at the coast (ZA) it's not extreme. 2 hours earlier sunset in winter.
2 hours earlier sunrise in summer
San Diego climate, what I grew up in...
Oh? :D
Have family by once was marriage over there.
My daughter's aunt :)
Yes. Hear the weather if fine and the temperament mild over there. Nice.
no shit? It's possible I know them. My dad's ex gf was from Zimbabwe but was part of the big South African community there. More specifically, South African Jews, but they weren't exclusive, lol. They hung out with gentiles, too.
You could always come and visit you know.
Tons of Crows around here :D
And your crows like Pie!!
African Crow ear pretty much everything
This is Africa, you know. Not for lightweights! It's wild!
This can be a good and bad thing both
