I got my very first subscriber last night. I felt so pleased and grateful. Obviously it takes time to build any kind of following. I know a couple of people who regularly read my blog though, so I’m happy. I try to find blogs I like too, but the search engines throw up the sane suggestions every time and I’m not sure how to find lesser known writers. It’s good that blogging is still popular though, as I think it’s a great way to share your thoughts with the world.

(SPOILER ALERT) On a different note, I was devastated, although understood the decision, in the final episode of Squid Game, when the main character sacrificed himself to save another player. I wanted him to survive so much, although, as my fiance pointed out, that would not be as entertaining. Actually, many of my main characters don’t make it. When my daughter was young she asked me why everyone died in my stories. They usually sacrifice themselves for someone else, but some are just unlucky. I am often conflicted about this though, as it’s hard to kill a creation you love, but for the sake of realism or entertainment it can be neccessary.

    Today we went a drive to a local forest for a walk, and a look for chestnuts as they are in season now. It was beautiful, full of pines and chestnut trees, quiet and green. There was only one other couple there. I love the forest and fully believe it is good for your mind…

  • 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…
