The Removal of Wisdom- Day 6

Published byamber under In Sickness and in Health

Day Six. Six is half a dozen. You can get so many foods in packs of half a dozen. Food that requires chewing. Like Donuts. And crunchy bread rolls with lashings of butter. And eggs, which technically I can have, but I want the Eggs Benedict from Rupert and the Fig with the seeded mustard hollandaise that [...]

The Removal of Wisdom- Day 4

Published byamber under In Sickness and in Health

I’ve had worse colds than this. I’m serious- I’m fine, apart from a slight ache in my jaw, and the inability to open my mouth fully. I’m still taking the penicillin, but am limiting the strong stuff for the nights just as a precaution- might as well save the pain meds for when you really [...]

The Ides of Smarch

Published byamber under Photography

Mosaic- March 2008, originally uploaded by animm. Another month gone, another month doing Project 366 on Flickr. I haven’t missed a day yet- it’s in the 90 days straight now- although I think it’s more stubbornness on my part than anything else. Remember, I haven’t touched Coca- Cola in 11 years.

Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Dowager Cixi, said: Let the Lion Dog be small; let it wear the swelling cape of dignity around its neck; let it display the billowing standard of pomp above its back.
