Peripatetic perambulations on a cozy autumn day. I stared at water, met a squirrel and fed gulls with beef. 🍁 🍂 🍃 🐿 #keepingsane

Accomplishment of the weekend! Finally pulled myself together to write letters and work out my wrist as I nearly forgot how to use the pen 😅 Here’s the outgoing mail to Sweden and a Secret Santa swap - thanks @gsiyoga for organizing! 💌 #snailmailforever #christmasiscoming

I used the foot tunnel under the Thames for the first time today. It’s only a 4 minute walk and once you’re out, it gives you a whole new perspective of the place. And hey, there’s my Uni, in all its glory and grandeur 👑 #sundaymornings #skyporn

Someone once told me: Oh you live in Deptford, it’s a hipster-y place. I’ve taken time for flaneuring and exploring both its main and side streets and shops (only from the outside though) and yeah, I can see what she meant by this. I particularly like how the place becomes alive by the street banter at Deptford market yard at weekends, and loud beats coming from the superposh passing vehicles. Not to mention odd-shaped exotic fruit sold at outdoor stands and these funky facades that add even more colour to the place! 🤹🏻 #colourfullife #ihaveathingforwalls #graffitiart #streetart

Went for a very lazy stroll along the #Thames quay. It was interesting to see how people use it in a variety of ways, from recreation to socialization to smoking weed and dancing to music. Anyway, I got an itch to get myself a bicycle and explore more of the river bank on wheels! 🌃#prettycitylondon #nightscene

The past three days I had a person painting the wa

The past three days I had a person painting the walls in the flat. It was a short, modest man, of darker skin. He was listening to loud music and singing along while I was trying to concentrate on work. When he’d see me with a headset he’d do the same, and I appreciated that. Yesterday, when I thought the three-day painting saga was finally finished, he said he needed to come again in the morning to re-paint the big wall as the stains were coming through. Inside of me I started raging. I asked the man if he could just stay and finish the bloody painting and not go into fourth day. And so he did that. But, before he left, he turned around and went: Can I ask you something? ... Where is your home? I said Serbia. He then said: “Yesterday when I was on train going home I was speaking to my friend and was telling him the lady (by lady he meant me) serves me coffee with water every time. When I work, I am rarely given coffee, let alone with a glass of water. And I told to myself, the lady was too kind to me, giving me teas and coffees and I can’t just walk away and leave her with that wall with stains.” I was speechless. For me, serving coffee to a guest (painters are guests too!) is the basics of hospitality. He wanted to know if coffee with a glass of water is a cultural thing for us, and so I explained. I now wish I had Turkish delight to serve him too ;) Anyway, when he was at the doorstep, I said: “And you are Jamaican! Only Jamaicans listen to proper reggae!” He laughed to that nodding, and disappeared in the elevator. I’m still thinking how small things make such a big difference ☕️ #strangeencounters #hospitality #culturalexchange #coffeeandwater #themeaningofcoffee

Flower garden is now without flowers but the interplay between leaves and squirrels and magpies is just magical! 🍂 🍁 🍃 #autumnfoliage #changes

My Thursdays turned into whole day of teaching and then treating myself with double shot espresso, turmeric latte and supergreen chicken curry. My Fridays, however, turned into days for recovery. Teas, vitamins, fruit, hot soups, loads of rest and yoga. And books, not screens! #ｔｇｉｆ #staysane #eatgreen

Let me see... today I had one online tutorial followed by three one hour face to face tutorials and another online tutorial to add up to five hours of nonstop teaching. So not too bad a face after all 🤓 #ilovemyjob @uniofgreenwich

St Govan lived his life as a hermit in a cliffside cave in Wales, and those willing to make the steep hike can still visit his mystical hermitage by the sea.

Greetings from the land of stunning landscapes, castles, sheep and W’s. But, my favourite Welsh word is still Gwdihw (an owl).

Cruising around Skomer. The puffins are gone but the good weather stayed. Loads of seals and their cubs too, which are learning how to swim in these rough seas 🌊

Getting to the tower required a bit of scrambling

Getting to the tower required a bit of scrambling up the steep cliff (and with the sight of a dead sheep floating in the sea), so I got a racing heart and shaky legs and I shat my pants so instead of walking further I just sat there in the grass soaking up that pretty coastal scenery.

When the first week of quarantine overlaps with hundreds of online meetings and limited physical movement, then I think it’s only appropriate to wear these scream-inspired socks and just carry on. Munch would be proud. 😱
