Miss You
Self-explanatory title/song ... it's been 7 mths since My Knight and I have been in the same physical space and we probably have another 3 to go but we'll get there, once Oz is at the same COVID free status as NZ. And we can travel again without the need for 14 days quarantine at … Continue reading Miss You
Dirty Deeds
Yes, it's a bit unusual for me to blog twice within a few days. But, it happens. Today I started the 2nd Vaporbyte launch cake. It's a process. For this cake I used my Nana's fruitcake recipe, it never fails and fruitcake lovers adore it. It's my goto launch cake recipe. Right now, the kitchen … Continue reading Dirty Deeds
Crystal Chandeliers
When I was small 'Crystal Chandeliers' was one of the songs my mum used play. She really enjoyed Charlie Pride, I recall quite a few of his albums in the rack (yeah, back when they were big vinyl records). She also loved Leonard Cohen, Tom Jones, Dinah Ross, Johnny Cash, and almost every singer ever. … Continue reading Crystal Chandeliers
See Me, Feel Me
Thanks to The Who for today's blog title. Today is the first day of winter. We're half way through 2020 and as a year it is quite the disappointment. I give it '1 star': could try harder. Haven't seen #MyKnight since November last year because we can't travel back and forth between Perth and Wellington … Continue reading See Me, Feel Me

Let me … Continue reading When the phone rings…

I do need to knuckle down and get the 'first draft' of the new book completed. Slow going when I'm not actually opening the file ... seems … Continue reading Girls, Girls, Girls
No Apologies
Welcome to the first week back in the bookshop after eight weeks at home. It's the first day of the first week. Pretty sure I've already offended people on Facebook by being me, but, you know what? I'm always me, fucking deal with it. And what I say on my own page, is entirely up … Continue reading No Apologies
Mother’s Day Musings
It’s Mother’s Day.A time for reflection, perhaps?I’ve been a mum for 37 years. Being a mum has taught me a lot. I learned very early (Caleb was 6 weeks old) that I was the one who needed to fight for him and to trust my instincts and that I knew better than anyone else when it … Continue reading Mother’s Day Musings
A little thing …
