I’m not a user of (insert 4-letter ocean-themed name of the top laundry detergent in the USA).

Never have been.

But my detergent brand of choice is by the same company.

The Longest Route

November 16, 2021November 14, 2021 aka gringita

In theory, the world’s longest walk is (apparently) from Cape Town, South Africa to Magadan, Russia.

So they say. At 14K+ miles, it’s actually shorter than the 19K+ I’m looping around the continent of Africa in the Virtual African Loop (or VAL).

Virtual Scotland: Passing Lane

October 1, 2021 aka gringita

Progress on various fronts

August 20, 2021August 14, 2021 aka gringita

Little by little I make headway. I am still in Angola on the VAL and if that feels like what, still? to you, I can assure you that I feel it even more.

VAL: What’s this now?

June 30, 2021 aka gringita

Getting through the Daily

May 22, 2021May 22, 2021 aka gringita

I suppose everyone has their daily routines. A list, formal or more likely informal, of things that get addressed. Even an order in which the morning ablutions are attended to (ever gotten out of the shower having forgotten to wash your hair because you didn’t do things in the usual order? That’s not just me, right?)
