We went for dinner, well a light meal really. I sat and watched as you ate; I wasn't really hungry, but you were. We spoke as you ate and set the world to rights. We had cake, paid and then left. We walked and talked until we reached that central point. I said no! We stood among the tourists...

Here is a recipe, to remember my mother (who recently passed away). Though I am vegetarian now, I remember how delicious it was when I ate it as a child. This is a relatively mild version of what we ate. Adventurous readers can increase the amount of spices.
Cut into pieces 2 lb boneless...

We spent dinner last night with a couple we
deem dear. Ease is our union. Three
hours together, time was as fleet afoot
as a determined west wind. This
morning, though, I'm dazzled by that humble chair.
I have little recollection of how it held me so well
and inflicted no...

My friends Franck and Lise came for dinner last week - I've either been cooking dinner or eating out every night so I've had no time to blog - with this bag full of goodies from their garden in Champagne. There were fresh walnuts and, individually wrapped in newspaper, my favourite -...

I think what nice clouds Paris has! What a nice sky, always changing! Plump white clouds, tumbling in the machine. And grey ones, like the pigeons who make nests with strands of construction site metal in the flowerpot on my back porch. White eyelet over blue silk: a lingerie sky.
Walking up...

Another good episode of Torchwood yesterday, though not quite as hot and on-the-edge as the first episode, I think. It’s also strange how Jack and Ianto seem to blow hot and cold, and there’s very little consistency in it. In Episode One they appeared to be a normal couple (well, relatively normal...

Something of a social whirl day today, so I got up early and got down to getting another 1000 words of Hallsfoot's Battle into the pot. Which meant actually starting the big battle scenes, which I suspect will go on for some time and have a variety of different viewpoints in them. So that brings me...

Special time of day. Nettle tea brews in a blue teacup to my right. Dog snoozes on the wooden bench to my left. Laptop on kitchen table before me, perfectly centered, promising the decadent possiblility of words to come. Comforting sound of dishwasher droning and grinding behind me. Another day...

Plunged this morning with a merry wave and gay abandon into creating my article about writing sex. My, what fun. Almost as good as ... um ... actually writing it. As it were. It's a little longer than anticipated (much the best way, in my opinion, ho ho), but I've submitted it anyway and the ...

A slight relapse on the health front this morning, I fear - my nose has a mind of its own, alas (and how I've always wanted to use "alas" in a blog, so that's hugely cheering ...). And I feel as if my head is full of mud. Could I have caught the cold a second time from Lord H - who is now...
