Friday was a surprising day - first I managed to write 3000 words while manning the bookshop despite constant interruptions and they were not of the sale variety - good effort there. Then, Charlie messaged me about lunch. Marvelous! So it was out to lunch with Pip, Charlie, and Mrs Harris (somethings just stick). Jolly … Continue reading Friday Dec 20

And it all changed …
Welcome to the weekend. I knew this was going to be a writing weekend - because yesterday morning as I read the last chapter I wrote (a few days ago), I could hear Ellie. I heard the exasperation. I'd gone off script. She was not happy. It happens sometimes and I always fix it because, … Continue reading And it all changed …
Friday the 13th
A massive thank you to all the wonderful people who remembered my birthday yesterday (and today for those in the other half of the world). Facebook and Linkedin do a great job of reminding us all! haha Last night was the last full moon of the decade. We did a bit of witchy stuff. Cleansed … Continue reading Friday the 13th
Ten things about this week …
It's my birthday on Dec 12. I will be spending it alone because everyone is always busy in December and because My Knight isn't here this year. AND I HATE IT. So there's that. 😦 It's also Ellie's birthday on Dec 12. Surprised? You shouldn't be, I did that on purpose so I didn't have … Continue reading Ten things about this week …

Dear Readers,
Seemed like a good title for a blog post ... not sure if it works but hey, you be the judge. Since I've been away taking very good care of #MyKnight while he recovers from a hip replacement, I've actually done a few things. I know, I was surprised too. For starters, ALL the Byte … Continue reading Dear Readers,
What life’s all about …
Obviously, I dunno what life is all about for you, but for me, it's about stories. Gathering stories. And how does one gather stories? Well, by doing shit. By taking chances (risks if you will), but really it's about doing shit. Just do something. Don't sit there like my Nana did for fifty-seven years and … Continue reading What life’s all about …
