rara republic: November 2011
http://rararepublic.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
It is only right that former nomads choose to celebrate their love on a beach on a faraway tropical island. Of course, this celebration wouldn't be complete without you. You're welcome to join us from 24/6- 8/7. We can recommend accommodation for you. Quel meilleur endroit pourraient trouver deux anciens nomades pour célébrer leur amour, si ce n'est une plage sur une île des Tropiques? A partir d'Europe, la compagnie la moins chere est Air Asia. La famille may bouffandeau. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

rara republic: May 2010

A summer in the shadow of el nino. I've not stepped foot in my garden for a week. It's not been any old week either. For example, this week, the week of the full moon, we had a month's worth of rain in 24 hours. And then it kept raining. So i kinda figured, if it can do a month's worth of rain in 24 hours, then maybe i can do a month's worth of blogging. Or, if you like, i could so 6 months worth of blogging in a week. I'd forgive you for losing faith, for giving up, for buggering off all together even.

Did i tell you the story of life without leccy? It took 2 weeks until the power was turned back on. two weeks. You know, i used to live in a bus for 3 years, without electricity. i've camped. i've travelled. done without. but there's nothing quite like living in your own house without electricity. nothing quite like the 'before dark' ritual. It's a story of being organised. There was something that was attached to the terror of sunset that still hasn't left. Each night, as our home and suburb descended i...

Island life : la vie sur une ile. I love it when a plan comes together. We sat, summising, looking at the map and talking about possible routes. Unlike other journeys this one would be punctuated by a full moon's cycle. Unlike other journeys, this one would be shared. Both of us are extremely excited about introducing our children to the joys of the road. Before we get excited about the road and its many bends we forget the real reason for the journey: to celebrate love! And the Gili islands. And you, my...

Between us we managed to clean more than 220 bricks! Of course, we'd have gotten much more done if the grown ups didn't do so much talking. La famille may bouffandeau. How does your garden grow. What may look like a pile of rubble to others is in fact the beginnings of a paved area for the folk in the rara republic. Many moons ago a plan was sketched out on paper; eyes closed and imagination set sail as we dreamed the winter dream of summer dining,. Bricks. bits of old mortar cling to the side in mem...

rara republic: June 2010

I'm totally over winter already. It arrived with a bang and a bucketfull of water last week. with a roar and a hiss. it started with the rain- the rain, that special super penetrating rain that will even soak things claiming to be waterproof. and then we had a frost. Of course, i can't really complain, but i will. So it's only been here a week, winter, and, well i'm over it! But, even still. i have it lucky. While other lessons taught us that cigarettes and wine weren't all that was needed to survive.

When i grow up. People always suppose that when i grow up i'll be an accountant, lawyer, astronaut. stuff like that. but what i really want to be is a dancer for a rock n roll band. La famille may bouffandeau. Labels: but not george thoroughgood. Sometimes i'm too cool for clothes. It's not like we're all nudists or anything, but some things can be enhanced by being done nude. Or going down the slide. Or generally just hanging about. La famille may bouffandeau. Oh, those lucious, fresh buds! Of course, t...

rara republic: the new normal
http://rararepublic.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-normal.html
My eyes were like giant orbs on stalks as i drove the slow journey of escape from my home. the street was filled with people, crying, hugging, looking around in bewilderment at their strange new world. the road, cracked, bumpy and filling with pot-holes and flooding from liquefaction. Would remain in this state for months to come. The air, although still, was filled with a sense of panic. everyone was on their way somewhere- home, to school or somewhere else- simply escaping. How would she get home?
