Yep. We live in a society that’s extra-quick to pathologise these days (especially with the over-rise of identification with neurodivergence) but I’m willing to cut Elsa a bit of slack, and I say that as someone who wasn’t initially her number-one fan. People are nuanced.

The idea of burfi. Cardamom and sweet just sounds so divine.

Ofe akwu with ose-Nsukka.

Remembering Putt-Putt.

The elegiac, firm-but-sentimental beauty of Ọ̀ndó State and the Ọ́ka (Awka) parallels from blacksmithing interchange that persist hundreds of years later. It’s like watching the Igbo House in Liverpool from afar, circa 2003, with asún-jollof and some customary pepper-soup while the shell-pink oscillations unfold. Okra, egúsí and goat-meat are three things both groups can settle on. That’s the binding power and captain-smoothened legacy of Toxteth. And there’s no reason why it can’t last forever.

(If you know, you know.)

Whilst it is a football panel, presumably they are talking box ticking generally, maybe not specifically about football

Oh, fair enough I guess.

Anyway, maple-smoked crispy bacon is my next smile.

Rainy days and lots of coffee.

Same but preferably with tea. But coffee will suffice.

I’ve got an Earl Grey on-tap now, so I feel you there in live time.

Just had a meatball-sub. with sweetcorn and cranberry-sauce from Subway. You have to taste it to get a sense of how sweet it is.

Highlights on Instagram of Ṣọ̀lá Ṣóbọ́wálé living her best life on holiday in Barbados. Awesome actress.

The feeling of satisfaction after a workout

A drink flavoured with pomegranate.

[Redway]

Aside-from Green Onions and Walk My Walk as happy-inducing tunes, we’re living in a season (partly owing to festive tings) where love for pomegranate and cranberries is being bounced back to us. Both phenomenal fruits, very-much my thang and groove at the moment, and drowned in Greek Yoghurt (for a healthy stomach), it just echoes back to me that we’re all living the same lives, really. Very unique individually but also very similar in certain fundamental ways. And that’s worthy of a little smile.

Earl Grey any good for you, then?

It was an impromptu one born out of frustration, too. The best kind.

The particular clap-rhythm your Ghanaian Sunday-school teacher brought to the U.K. from over-there finding a way into your nephew’s dexterity-palette, on your initiation and hand-to-hand.
