So this week, I learnt something about myself that I didn't know (or didn't realise I knew?) but explains so much. When I read I don't see words I see images, we all knew that. I can see the words if I want to but that means I read each one and they don't create … Continue reading I learnt something …

You won’t believe it …
Okay so I'm reading a new book. I simply could not finish that third book in the series I was reading. It was too much. Far too much. When I start making comments out loud like, "Just put a cup on a fucking table for fucks sake." and "Sit on the damn chair, you idiot!" … Continue reading You won’t believe it …
Bite my head off.
Thank The Rolling Stones for today's title.I really like that song. In fact, I am enjoying 'Hackney Diamonds'. I did have reservations but I'm pleased I hopped into Apple Music and bought it the other week. I'll put the album in via Spotify at the end of this post. I opened the "Scattered on Cloth" … Continue reading Bite my head off.
Home.

Everything is hairy
All the animals are shedding like it's their job. The joy of spring time, I guess. Today was a planting day. Six tomato plants and two giant pumpkins. The pumpkins are named Peter and Petra. I may or may not name the tomatoes. We also planted mint. (When I say 'we' it was Geoff. I … Continue reading Everything is hairy
Counting down …
I love a countdown. I really do. The countdown I have presently is my favourite sort. It's not a book release it's entirely for me. My Knight will be home for a holiday soon. It's the best countdown ever and the shortest we've had. So hooray! This week just got busy, especially Wednesday. Appointments all … Continue reading Counting down …
I have to say something …
If you're a frequent flyer reader here then you know that there are occasions when I read a book so dreadful that it becomes a teaching moment. Notes are made. I use the awfulness as an example (of what not to do) for my crime writing class. Who can forget the honey-haired denim-eyed fiasco? This … Continue reading I have to say something …
And the reading has begun …
Yep, I'm reading [Foxtrot Mike Lima] for the first time as an entire story. So far so good. 🙂 It's always interesting what I have in my head that could be issues compared to what is written. I was pretty sure that I'd skimped on some details/description and whatnot. So far, I have not. That's … Continue reading And the reading has begun …
It’s over rover …
But it's not really over it's just beginning. The initial writing stage is over. Hopefully [Foxtrot Mike Lima] now has 97k worth of bones and sinew and is ready for a little bit of muscle. As much as I want to dive in and start reading this weekend, I am not going to. I am … Continue reading It’s over rover …
Do you ever?
Do you ever check which country visitors to your website are from? I do it everyday. Depending on the country my mouth will engage and loudly say, "Well you can fuck off." Certain countries are a precursors to bad shit going down. How's that for a generalisation?Usually if I see a particular country lurking on … Continue reading Do you ever?
