I often reflect how an instrument that cost about $10 over 30 years ago is probably the most well used and oldest utensil in the kitchen.

Afternoon walks at sunset are good for the soul and a very pleasant way to wind out the weekend.

A few of us at work play Uno as a wellness activity at lunch on a Friday. While there’s a very high chance the mildest insult will be your parentage being called into question, it’s a lot of fun and a good way to start winding down the week.

The way an insect will wrap itself in a cocoon and then reappear transformed is one of the many marvels of nature that will never cease to fill me with joy.

I have a tiny Dalek that sits in front on my computer monitor at home. I occasionally find it cathartic to turn it to point at the screen during online meetings 😇
