Melanie's Mostly Writing

I have recently been enjoying Jo Nesbo’s series of detective novels. My fiancé is not a reader, and I miss someone to discuss books with, but my son-in-law is going to be my book buddy. It was him who recommended the Harry Hole books to me, as I told him I loved the Wallander series by Henning Mankell. He is currently reading Frankenstein. I decided to download it and read it too, so that we will have something to talk about together.

I have to download it on my Kindle as we live in a really tiny place, in Uijeongbu, with absolutely no space for books. I used to have my own study/library in my old house. It was painted pale sage, and had a writing desk, shelves full of books and a comfy old basket chair for reading. I have nice memories of time spent there with my beloved dog Shadow. A Kindle has advantages too though and I have got used to it.

  • Of Sweetness and Superposition

    A few weeks ago, before the previous teachers left, we went to Outback Steakhouse for lunch together. I ordered chicken salad. The seasoning was off as the chicken was too salty. The thing that I couldn’t get over though was how sweet the cheese soup was. The bread and butter were sweet too. I have…

  • Of Retro and Remembering

    Today we had Retro Day at the school. I didn’t have any clothes from the past but I found a worn baseball cap, from San Francisco, that looked vintage. The kids dressed up. There was a photo zone and fashion parade. We made dalgona candy and ddakji, which people may know of now, due to…
