The L&S Edit No. 44
“And what are your hobbies?” The innocuous question came from an inquiring co-worker making small talk in the coffee queue. I paused, not because I don’t have interests — I have more than can be good for me — but because it’s challenging to convey the deep fascination that attends the serial hobbyist. “Oh, I like cooking and videogames,” I said, vaguely obscuring the truth, which is this:
The L&S Edit No. 43
A few months ago, Shannon and I decided to get into horror. Our nascent cinemaphilia meant that we were leagues behind the zeitgeist when it came to appreciating the nuanced social commentary proffered by contemporary hits like The Substance (2024) and Midsommar (2019). Emboldened by what we thought was our creative obligation to engage with alternative perspectives, we endeavoured to watch the entirety of the A24 catalogue and began with Hereditary (2018).
The L&S Edit No. 42
I’ve been reading The Overstory by Richard Powers and feeling ill about late-stage capitalism. Urged on by a sun that rises earlier each day, I am more and more motivated to minimise my screen time and apply my idle hands to pastimes past: cooking, reading, tidying, and grasping the leash as my dog pulls me steadily uphill towards Table Mountain.
The L&S Edit No. 41
Spring has certainly sprung. How can I be sure? I’m wheezing! Unfortunately for me, I am susceptible to extreme seasonal allergies, and Spring delivers the worst of it. Day and night I splutter, wheeze and cough. No amount of Sinutab Extra Strength or Allergex can soothe this snuffling
The L&S Edit No. 40
Last week, I found myself in Newrie, Ireland, with a contingent of thirteen cousins who had traveled from five disparate countries to attend my grandmother’s funeral. It was a true privilege to visit the land of my forbears and honour the clan matriarch, who I’m sure would have shone with pride at the lineage that she has sown so broadly across the world.
The L&S Edit No. 39
Every evening at about 5.30pm, we load the hounds into my little car and head off to a nearby park for our daily walk. We wander our little circuit under the stone pines, across the stream and through the little meadow. Balls are thrown, hadedas chased.
The L&S Edit No. 38
There’s a hint of Spring in the air – can you feel it? A subtle shift in the angle of the morning light, a certain lift to the air.
The L&S Edit No. 37
It’s the day before Women’s Day, which always gives me pause. The public holiday always invokes a potent double consciousness, especially for a woman like me — one who, in addition to having access to some of the most profound freedoms awarded to my kind in history, is constantly surrounded by other women. It almost makes me forget my condition.
