The only reason F.U.N's "Some Nights" is today's blog title is that Doris has been singing it this morning while she was getting ready to go out. Now it's stuck in my head. Thought I'd share the love, you're welcome.The end of January is almost here. I'll be back at the bookshop on Feb 1st. … Continue reading Some Nights

That thing when I can’t …
... think of a title for a blog post. It happens especially on a Sunday morning. 🙂 Last night we had old friends over for a meal and it was a fabulous night. My tiramisu was the 'best yet' by all accounts. I modified the recipe slightly and the modification is now going to be … Continue reading That thing when I can’t …
Devil Gate Drive
In case anyone doesn't know the blog title, Devil Gate Drive is a Suzi Quatro song from the 70s. 1974 in fact. Moving right along.After a discussion with Doris yesterday regarding 'Life in the Leaves' (or whatever I eventually call the story) ... turns out she likes fantasy even though she repeatedly asked me to … Continue reading Devil Gate Drive
Coming to you from Mahau Sound.
I might have to shout as the internet isn't the happiest over here ... it's still copper wire. I'll probably need to shout.How is everyone? How was your New Year? Yes, I am interested. Go ahead and tell me. My current view is stunning and very familiar. It's the same view, always. I very much … Continue reading Coming to you from Mahau Sound.
Undivided
I'll add the song or maybe the whole album at the end of this post. (Yes, it's Bon Jovi - but you knew that didn't you?) It's also the title of a Byte Series short story that is in Raidbyte. The story tagline is: D&D shouldn't be fatal. Undivided comes between Metabyte and Qubyte. It's … Continue reading Undivided

If that’s what it takes …
Welcome to Sunday. I'm tired of trying to get answers from Twitter regarding the scheduled posts not posting on my account. So tired of it that I resurrected someone. Kinda weird being able to hear her again, but, that's what needed to happen so I don't get super pissed off at spending hours setting posts … Continue reading If that’s what it takes …
Waiting, writing, wondering.
Today is a super shite weather day. It's been raining heavily for two days.And this ... I think Diesel knows when I'm going to get a migraine before I do. I noticed a wee while ago that he sits behind me sometimes when I'm in the kitchen doing dishes or baking. I used to say … Continue reading Waiting, writing, wondering.
Lookin’ out my back door.
Quite the understatement really. I went down with the flu on Monday, which was and still is my week. Don't know why I expected to be better by now, clearly, I was optimistic. If only that worked. COVID was annoying but this is downright misery. Since getting COVID on May 5th, I have unwittingly opened … Continue reading Lookin’ out my back door.
