CAT COAT GENETICS AND VARIATIONS IN CARPET CULTURE

AUTUMN 2015 A spell of home refurbishments means that we have temporarily escaped the commotion and moved kit and caboodle into a neighbouring ground floor flat. Two cats used to live here, but much to Little E’s dismay, they took their cat flap with them when they moved out. For a couple of weeks now…

THE RASPY YODEL OF THE ISLAND SWANS KEEPS YOU LIGHT ON YOUR FEET

SUMMER 2015 Think. Choose five things to take in your suitcase and two more for your pockets! We’re off to the remote Finnish isles of Näsijärvi! Undaunted, Little E selects a congeries of dollhouse paraphernalia and playmobil princesses while I make a quick note about my own desert island items. My parents-in-law are still astounded…

HOW TO BE A GOAT IN THE YEAR OF THE SHEEP

The first logical solution to the pressing problem was, of course, to get…

GOOD OARSMANSHIP AND THE ODDS OF TRAVELLING LIGHT

 SUMMER 2014 It takes a certain kind of skill to carry something stone-heavy with nonchalance, like it is featherweight. Seemingly, I’m travelling as light as can be, mine de rien… 23kg. The waiting. The weighing. The odds of having to unpack, reorganise, reshuffle. The scorning looks all around. Skin cells shedding underneath the bulky clothing…

GARDENING LEAVE OR THE PLEASURE OF TENDING TO SMALLER POTATOES

WINTER 2014 Writing an opera and making it happen can be the most exhilarating experience. It can also be a life-shortening undertaking which leaves you frazzled with a wispy memory of it all once the pandemonium has faded around you. It is not duck soup, that’s for sure! Whereas some composers vow never to go…
