The interesting vegetable of the week is a small pumpkin. How festive! I would carve a face in it if I thought I could do so without stabbing myself. As much as I appreciate it when things go comically wrong and give me something to blog about, I draw the line at stitches.
Yes, I did carry a pumpkin...
i have adventures (sometimes)

Productivity eludes me.
Meep meep.
Well, to be fair to myself, not all productivity. Only the relevant kind. Domestically speaking, I'm totally awesome.
I clean and cook and vacuum and buy groceries and do laundry and take
out the recycling and remember to water the cacti. I've even done really

It's cold.
This cold.
Apparently my laptop feels the same way I do, because my desktop weather forecast has got stuck on -1, while Googling "York weather" tells me that by now, it's actually all the way up to 4 (with a whopping high of 10 by 4pm! Exciting times!). At least the sun's shining. Now...

Eugepae!
With three members of the Wits Latin Club in the country at the same time, how could we not meet up for picnics, fun times, and hopeless attempts to translate Latin inscriptions? I argued in favour of York, but Oxford won by virtue of being in the South (and, all right, because it's prettier). So Robyn...

Some time last week, I hit a peak of happiness. As I was walking home from the health food store with my oat milk, I had a moment of such perfect joy that I had to resist the urge to spin around and sing on the street, because (to my ongoing sorrow) I still don't live in a musical.
And then, as tends to happen, I fell into a happiness trough.* I had my department induction, which was fairly interesting,...

My Life in Photos
My life is cool. Here is my cool life in photos (and video, nogal!).
My block. Our kitchen looks out onto the walkway because otherwise it would be inconvenient for our neighbours to stare at us while we eat....

Attack of the Phantom Ukelele
There was a picnic scheduled for yesterday afternoon, but the weather was horrible, so we decided to have our own picnic on the kitchen floor instead. Our yellow wall is a pretty good replacement for sunshine. Or at least, between that and my vitamin D supplement, the closest thing to sunshine I'm likely...

Time Warp and Tea Parties
Not that I’m a junkie, but getting my internet fixed sort of did make the shaking stop. I spent four whole days without the internet in my room before I finally managed to get hold of IT and take my laptop to them to be fixed or configured or reconfigured or whatever it is they do. They fixed it in...

Wolves and Bears
YORK!!
Is my life really exciting enough to warrant caps and, not one, but two exclamation marks? No, not really.
(I’m just kidding. It totally is.)
Mum and I arrived in York early on Saturday afternoon, by which stage I was excited to the point of bouncing up and down in my seat, although that...
