Finally we’re back. We arrived home late afternoon yesterday, where we were immediately greeted by Tara sulking behind the sofa, and Adina all round us wanting a fuss and attention. It was definitely a “cute factor” in our return. Our vacation was pretty good. Jeff got a lot of skiing in with […]

Starting with Auden to explain my purpose in quoting Derrida earlier. My interest was in the word “performative” that he used.

Hello, kiddies. The day off yesterday was too short! I did manage to get lots of cleaning done in the pantry, just so that I can turn around and get it messy all over again with more records to digitise. That’s the beauty of enjoying the record collection, and I can assure […]
