I might've been a tad quiet this last week. It wasn't on purpose but things are happening and life is getting busy. As it does. :)Let's recap ... 1. 37 sleeps until My Knight walks through the door!! You have no idea how much we are looking forward to being under the same roof. We've … Continue reading Escape

Strong coffee and mornings:
Last week was read an eBook week. Smashwords had a storewide sale. Jolly fun and all that. Everything is back to normal now. I noticed that killerbyte was downloaded a fair few times. Welcome to the world of Ellie Conway, new people. Lovely to have you aboard. 🙂 I'm feeling the pull to the new … Continue reading Strong coffee and mornings:
Christmas is over.
In some ways, I'm glad to see the back of it for another year. It's a day I don't particularly enjoy. There's a lot of cooking and cleaning involved, and then a lot of clean-up. I enjoy having the kids home, that bit is pretty awesome but the rest of it is long and tiring. … Continue reading Christmas is over.
And It Stoned Me.
Thanks for the song Van Morrison. Hadn't heard that one in a while. It's a beautiful day here today. Don't want to say that too loud in case the rain comes back, we are over it! Today is a proper summer day, the second consecutive one.It's a writing day for me. But before I disappear … Continue reading And It Stoned Me.

I fired off quite a few PDF's on Sunday evening, to my students. I felt bad about … Continue reading Tuesday.
Once again it’s July 3rd
July the third keeps happening which is actually a good thing I suppose. I haven't like July 3rd much for many years. Thirty-eight years actually. It doesn't bother me as much as it used to, that's the time thing. It does heal or minimise, but I never forget. The sound of his laugh and the … Continue reading Once again it’s July 3rd
Mahau and Christchurch
You might have noticed I've been a bit quiet since [Lure the lie] launched ... well, that's because I'm away with My Knight in the South Island. We left Wellington before the COVID infected visitor went everywhere he could possibly go in Wellington. 🙂 We've been south for a wee while and are heading back … Continue reading Mahau and Christchurch
More than a feeling
It's Sunday night. It's been an okay weekend. Bit of writing, bit of movie watching with Kid6, some housework ... and the knowledge that next weekend My Knight will be home. Hard to be unhappy with so much joy on the immediate horizon. Not that I tend to unhappiness anyway: I'm generally a happy person. … Continue reading More than a feeling
