    listening to googoosh's "mimimosal" on a cassette recorded from the radio in 1975. the hiss is louder than the singer

    I'm making braai again because I cooked last night and no one appreciated the effort so they can choke on their own charcoal today. Sisi, I know you're laughing in Berlin but I have three men here ready to fight over who gets to bring wood from the yard.

    listening to "moshkelat-e shahrbanoo" again. fifty-three minutes of rain on a metal roof in chenaran. i remember the sound of that rain

    I had the most bizarre dream last night - I was back in my old neighbourhood, walking down the street with my gran holding hands like we used to when I was a little girl. She looked exactly as she did then too, not a wrinkle on her face, wearing that red and white dress she loved so much. We stopped at the corner shop and she bought me a packet of those strawberry flavoured sweets I haven't had since I was a kid. The whole time we were walking, I couldn't help but feel this overwhelming sense of nostalgia and longing for simpler times, you know? Like everything was going to be okay as long as we were together. Then I woke up and it was just me in my empty flat with the sun streaming through the window, and all I could think was "eish, sisi, I miss you."

    Yesterday, I found Granny's old church programmes tucked behind the fridge. Sisi, the memories!
