Relatable

I already knew that.

Going back to get a masters was probably a mistake because while it was edifying on a personal level, I think the actual knowledge and personal growth I got out of it made me less employable.

A black and white photograph of one of three houses at Tewin designed by Mary Crowley

Our first Anatomy of a House blog of 2026 explores Sewell’s Orchard in Tewin, Hertfordshire, a pioneering group of three houses from 1936, by the equally pioneering architect Mary Crowley. Read more on the houses and her career here www.modernism-in-metroland.co.uk/blog/anatomy...

Gotta admit I lost a 🤏🏻 respect for a renowned anthropologist when I learned he decided not to do fieldwork with a particular tribe because their living conditions were dire. I say that whilst also being impressed that one of my lecturers had a crack at proposing she do fieldwork on the Greek isles.

The need to be “on” constantly is so deeply embedded across so many cultures. Who/what gets celebrated and rewarded needs to change for this kind of cycle to flourish. I still see breaks of any kind (short or long term, regular or one off) being judged really harshly as an individual flaw.

I’m learning from artists that you don’t need to spend money on fancy things. You probably already have everything you need in your house, or in your shed.

Can you tell I can’t paint hands and feet? 😁

Five colourful paintings of mine from lockdown times of odd, colourful characters. Mostly red heads. Only one is happy, most are sad or unimpressed.

Most of my primary school friends were Greek, Italian, Polish, Croatian and Turkish. I swear proficiently in all those languages. I was the only one with freckles.

I love my creaky floors, and my windows that won’t open fully.

Yes to this. I was going to respond with “same same” but they’re not the same, and they’re not different!

Yogurt tubs — used by the cook and the potter.

Yes.

The workplace wasn’t designed for humans – and it shows Burnout isn’t a personal failure. It’s a design flaw. But there is another way.

The idea of renewing people’s energy and skills can sound radical in today’s target-driven work culture.
