I call this the “why oh why didn’t I go shopping on the weekend” salad. Somehow I managed to use beetroot on it while wearing a pure white shirt and I didn’t make a mess of said shirt. Never ask me to repeat that act.

On Stars

I’m lying on Main Beach, phone held aloft over my head, tapping out this message against a backdrop of stars. The wind is blowing and the damp sand below gently draws the warmth from my back with the parasitic subtlety of a leech, only in this case I am the smaller party in …
