Grate expectations

The cheesiest of patterns

Every once in a while, I get bored and start looking for visual inspiration in the ordinary objects that surround us at home.

Pandemic life means we’re generally stuck looking at the same things - rooms, people, stuff, whatever - day after day. But instead of seeing that as a negative, I’d rather find the opportunity in it.

Like the cheese grater you see here, which we decided to buy after I accidentally sliced my hand on a ratty old hand grater. This one’s a box grater, so in theory it’s much safer. It also looked neat, so out came the camera-camera.

The good news is I still have all my fingers, and our cheeses have never been tastier. Even better news is I’ve got countless drawers of kitchen utensils to explore through glass, and an empty memory card to fill.

Because the best stories are the ones we squeeze out of the everyday moments that lurk right in front of us.

The question for you, then, is what will your next story be?

It may be closer than you think.
