Whisky Tango Foxtrot!

Posted by purplehaze on Fri, 17 Jul 2026

Have started to get horrible headaches in a Haar. Not that there are pleasant headaches, but these ones bring a certain crankiness in their wake. Suspect it’s something to do with the light. Although there is no direct sunlight, there is still the strength of the sun being diffused and dispersed through a gazillion tiny sea-water droplets, which makes for a too bright white wall of smir. It’s like a white-out of light. You can’t see where it...

I want to stay home and procrastinate on the DIY (yes, still) and many tasks on the list, such as not selling stuff on ‘Vinted’, and decide what to read next instead. (Have to read ‘em before I can sell ‘em). Tragically, bin day has started to take on a stress all of its own. It’s 1.30pm and they’re still not here. Are they not...

Recuperation

Posted by purplehaze on Wed, 15 Jul 2026

First wave of covid, I caught it. Didn’t know I even had it – I thought it was stress and took two weeks leave. When I went back the following Monday, the Bulgarian team hadn’t prepared the monthly invoices and I found myself sitting at the desk, tears streaming down my cheeks. I wasn’t crying, the tears were just silently seeping out. Made an appointment with the GP, got a nurse, he was fab, Troy, who said I had most likely had covid but it was...
