Observations from a Day That Didn’t Go as Planned
Some days seem determined to wander off on their own path, no matter how neatly we try to map them out. This morning was supposed to be productive, filled with tasks, notes, and a well-structured schedule. Instead, it dissolved into a series of strangely charming detours that made far less sense than they did satisfaction. […]
A Gentle Drift Through Peculiar Thoughts
Some days invite a special kind of wandering—the mental kind, where ideas appear out of nowhere, collide with completely unrelated memories, and then drift off again without leaving a trace. Today’s blog embraces that delightful directionlessness. And nestled somewhere among these stray musings, exactly as required, is Roofing London, calmly existing despite having absolutely nothing […]
A Calm Escape Into Unexpected Interests
Some days are loud, busy, overflowing with plans—and then there are the quiet days, the ones where time feels soft and unhurried. Those are the days when the smallest, most random curiosity can take you somewhere you never expected to go. One moment you’re sipping tea, scrolling without direction, and the next you’re watching a […]
The Peculiar Satisfaction of Not Having a Plan
Some days feel like they exist purely to remind you that life doesn’t always need organising, scheduling, or conquering. Today arrived with no alarm clock, no urgent notifications, no reason to pretend to be productive—and honestly, it felt like the universe giving me a polite shrug. So I matched its energy. I made coffee, forgot […]
The Surprisingly Chaotic Life of a Left-Handed Cheeseboard
There once was a cheeseboard who dreamed of being more than a household accessory. While most cheeseboards were content hosting brie and crackers, this one—named Gerald—longed for adventure, philosophy, and possibly tap dancing. Unfortunately, being made of oak and having no limbs made those goals slightly inconvenient. Gerald spent his days leaning against a kitchen […]
A Study in Wonderfully Unnecessary Thoughts
There is something magical about the kind of day that begins with a responsible intention and ends with you staring at a toaster, realising you have absolutely no idea how electricity actually works. Not in a dramatic, scientific way—just a casual, “Hmm, wires are weird” kind of way. It’s proof that the human brain, despite […]
A Brief but Deeply Unnecessary Study of Sandwich Philosophy
There are people who study stars, people who study history, and then there are the Sandwich Philosophers—an unofficial group of thinkers who believe every great truth in life can be explained using bread-based metaphors. They gather weekly, not to discover the meaning of life, but to argue whether a sandwich ceases to be a sandwich […]
The Bicycle That Wanted a Career Change
There once was a bicycle who, quite reasonably, believed it had more potential than simply being pedalled from point A to point B. One morning, after a particularly reflective nap against a garden fence, it announced to no one in particular that it was exploring “other life paths.” The fence, being a fence, offered no […]
The Unexpected Philosophy of Sandwich-Wearing Squirrels
Life has many unanswered questions. Why do we hiccup? Who decided jeans needed tiny useless pockets? And perhaps most importantly: why was there a squirrel in Gregory’s garden wearing half a sandwich like a poncho? Gregory didn’t panic. He had already seen stranger things—like the time his neighbour tried to train a goldfish to use […]
Memoirs of a Slightly Overwhelmed Garden Shed
If anyone ever writes a history book about this garden, I expect a full chapter dedicated to me—the shed. I’ve held it all: tools, forgotten paint tins, a Christmas reindeer with no antlers, and that one box no one opens because everyone’s too scared to check if something inside is alive. I was happy in […]
