Hope for hoarders dashed (Rousse)

Posted on June 11, 2018 by Dreamaticus

The back staircase was decorated pink. The neat piles of junk on the steps were numerous – perhaps an indication that, at long last, my parents were having a clear-out. However, when I stumbled over a box of out of … Continue reading →

Posted on April 30, 2018 by Dreamaticus

ECM arrived in the basement gallery as I was installing the new exhibition. She took a plastic tub of bright green powder paint and started to mix it so that she could ‘cheer the room up a bit’. When I … Continue reading →

Human horse travels uncomfortably across the Atlantic (Rousse)

Posted on April 26, 2018 by Dreamaticus

Normally a seat in the second row on a transatlantic flight would mean plenty of leg room – perhaps even a bed – but not on this service. I was sitting directly behind a mother and a baby, both of … Continue reading →

Posted on March 17, 2018 by Dreamaticus

My return to campus was very confusing. I couldn’t even locate my office. In the end I gave up and met the PhD students in the photocopier room instead. Then I ran into EH. She was curious about my scars … Continue reading →
