It's time for a recap of 2025. As much as I want to say the year was bullshit - it wasn't like that the whole year. There were wonderful parts of the year and some of the shit had wonderful aspects. It's easy for us to focus on the bad things, but we don't know … Continue reading NYE 2025
Buy me a coffee?
It’s that time of year again.
It's a busy time in our family, there are a lot of birthdays in December for us. And there is the birthday rule ... no decorations up until after my birthday. (We've broken it a few times but my oldest son keeps the tradition alive with his family.)My patience is at an all time low. … Continue reading It’s that time of year again.
Walk right in. Sit right down.
Yesterday was a good news day for our family. Superman has a bed in a care facility in Wellington. Such a relief to know he'll be closer very soon. It's not easy getting a bed at the highest level of care that there is (and that is what he needs). Serious brain injuries at 89 … Continue reading Walk right in. Sit right down.
WTF?
Yesterday I learned a few things that gave me pause. (Reads as: they outright pissed me off.)Interference in a situation that is none of the person's business. I firmly believe that everyone should stay in their own fucking lane. In this case, the 'friend' lane.Anywho, I'll sort it out. Had a long talk with my … Continue reading WTF?
Research fun.
'Every lie has a consequence. Every truth is a risk.'That is a tagline for [Lure the lie] (Veronica Tracey Spy/PI book 2). On Friday I spent most of the day reading legislation. There were a few things I wanted to know, or get clarity on. My questions were regarding the Intelligence and Security Act 2017. … Continue reading Research fun.
In the shadows of foreign intelligence, every choice is deadly.
How's that for a blog post title? 🙂 Yesterday, after I went and picked my new reading glasses and prescription sunglasses, I decided to mess around with taglines and the Veronica Tracey Spy/PI Series. The intent was to create some new graphics. I did that. I did 3 per book and then McWristy and stupid … Continue reading In the shadows of foreign intelligence, every choice is deadly.
I’m twitchy
My eyelid is twitchy. I know what it is. It's stress. It's happened before, a couple of times. Once upon a time the mere mention of the Frau would start my eye a twitching. She's long gone from our vicinity, thankfully. This twitch is because the last three weeks have been crazy stressful. They may … Continue reading I’m twitchy

Monday was tiring and then it turned to custard.Tuesday was traveling and no answers.Wednesday tiring but some answers were there and so was the Boy Wonder.Thursday isn't here yet but it's going to be a strange one. Doris is traveling by herself for the first time ever. We might have more answers or maybe we … Continue reading Of all things.
Magic formula?
I've been a bit hopeless at blogging (and also writing) for the last few weeks. Possibly a few things causing apathy. Sometimes it's all too much, and to be honest, it feels like a waste of time. As much as I love writing and enjoy the VT Series characters, I'd also like proper sales. That … Continue reading Magic formula?
It’s all fun and games …
... until your phone won't charge. No fun to be had then. I can't afford to replace it at the moment so all my fingers are crossed that turning it off and back on works! 🙂 I know it's been misbehaving and not allowing calls through at times - of course I don't know it's … Continue reading It’s all fun and games …
