From a Solo to a Duo
An exciting new chapter of Lost In Arcadia begins today when I fly long haul with my husband for the first time in 13 years. This will be his first experience of my slow travel 2 long layovers and 3 flights regime. This will be my first experience of being wildly jet lagged and having to consider someone else’s needs. Moreover, I’ve been injured and I can’t walk far yet (4500 steps is my preferred limit, with 7000 steps being my ‘will need to stay in bed tomorrow with the affected leg elevated’ upper limit). What if my leg swells up like a balloon? What if we both need to…

I meet a Knitted Man
ArtDXB featured The Business Man sculpture “an interwoven portrayal of business ethics and the speculative nature of masculine form.

The Seventh Summer has Begun!
This post is being written from Dubai. So I am jetlagged. There was a lot happening at ChezLostinarcadia in the run-up to this year’s junket. In the mélee I failed to blog. I’m middle-aged, which must stand for my excuse. So, a couple of changes. I’ve departed later than usual & just in the nick of time as I hear it’s about 2’c in Melbourne tonight. (This is where I mention that it’s 25’c inside the airport, and 40’c outside.) I may have already mentioned this on my Facebook page. And in texts to Husband and Mother. I’ve also moved UK abode. It’s finally happened, and my usual hosts are…
