The Quiet Kind of Curiosity That Steals a Day
There are days when you wake up with a plan… and then there are the other days. The gentle, wandering, clock-unbothered days where time feels softer and your brain decides to explore things you never intentionally searched for. One minute you’re scrolling aimlessly, and the next you’ve somehow found yourself deeply engaged in the strangely […]
A Slow Day That Turned Into a Quiet Realisation
Some days don’t show up with energy, urgency, or expectations. They just arrive—softly—like they’re offering a breather from everything you were supposed to be doing. Today was exactly that kind of day, and instead of fighting it, I just let it unfold at its own pace. I started the morning by attempting something wildly ambitious: […]
The Intergalactic Potato Who Ran for President
In a distant corner of the universe, on a planet mostly shaped like a ladle, there lived a potato named Harold. Harold was no ordinary potato. He wore a tiny tie, believed deeply in democracy, and had recently announced his campaign to become President of Absolutely Everything. His slogan was simple: “Less chaos, more carbs.” […]
A Field Guide to the Thoughts That Definitely Weren’t on Today’s Agenda
Some days start with a plan: wake up, be productive, tick boxes, act like a fully functioning adult. Then the brain, with zero hesitation, decides to throw that plan into a volcano and instead focus on very urgent questions like: Why do we say “slept like a log” when logs have never demonstrated sleeping ability? […]
The Curious Club of People Who Over-Plan Absolutely Everything
Every Thursday evening, in a room filled with colour-coded folders, labelled biscuit tins, and unnecessary clipboards, a very specific kind of group meets: The Over-Planners Club. These are not ordinary organisers. These are people who create spreadsheets for picnics, flowcharts for birthday cards, and risk assessments before sitting on a beanbag. The meeting began, as […]
The Parade of Things That Didn’t Need Explaining
It was supposed to be a regular day — the kind of day calendars barely bother to label — but instead it arrived with the energy of a confused parade: no announcer, no marching order, just vibes and questionable decisions. The first odd float rolled in the form of a business card taped to a […]
A Study in Why Absolutely Nothing Made Sense Before Lunch
There are mornings that start with clarity, purpose, and productivity. Then there was this morning—one which began with a loud thud, followed by the very unexpected sight of a watermelon rolling down the hallway wearing sunglasses. No explanation. No footprints. No note. Just one very confident piece of fruit living its best life. Douglas, the […]
A Brief but Deeply Unnecessary Study on the Philosophy of Garden Objects
Some people search for meaning in books, art, or travel. Others accidentally discover it while staring at a wheelbarrow that hasn’t moved since 2012. That’s how it started—one peaceful afternoon, a quiet garden, and a moment of reflection sparked entirely by boredom and tea that had gone lukewarm too fast. The garden was still. The […]
The Unexpectedly Interesting World of Surfaces We Forgot About
There are parts of life that quietly collect time without us even noticing. Days pass, seasons change, and somewhere in the background, the outside of our homes slowly turns into a scrapbook of weather, footsteps, and general “I’ll deal with it later.” Then one day—maybe while locking the door or putting the bins out—you suddenly […]
The Annual Talent Show for Objects That Should Not Have Talent
Once a year, in the middle of a theatre that definitely failed its safety inspection, a very special talent show took place—one exclusively for objects that had absolutely no business performing on stage. The audience consisted mostly of confused humans, two uninterested pigeons, and a goldfish who somehow got front-row seating. The host, a disco […]
