When Romeo left us to run free across the rainbow bridge, I said no more dogs. He was one in a million. I didn't want to go through the pain of loss again. Then a thing happened which I call The Troubles. Police suggested getting a big dog because even though they can usually get … Continue reading What were the odds …

And on it goes …
I had to check the day and date four times this morning and I'm still not sure what day it is! I know it's Nicky's birthday, so I know it's the 14th of August. Day? Yesterday I thought it was Tuesday so that's probably causing the confusion. Well, that, and a migraine. There's been an … Continue reading And on it goes …
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
It's been a trying few weeks.It's tried my patience.It's tried my commitment to coffee and tequila.It's tried my ability to speak without swearing.It's tried my sense of security.It's tried my will to get things done.It's 100% tried to stop my brain working so I can write.It's just fucking trying. But yay, I can put all … Continue reading Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
This will never do.
Yesterday I got through a bunch of edits and suggestions from Margot Kinberg (my much trusted friend). [Foxtrot Foxtrot Sierra] is all the better for it. One of the changes was allowing Nana her voice. Every now and then there are third POV chapters in this series, usually when I don't want to share too … Continue reading This will never do.
The end is looming.
Nothing to do with the wars. At all. Except that I might've called it again. Oops. Never mind, that's how we roll. I know things and I hope they don't eventuate. (Also, I literally have a pantry full of canned food and so forth. 16 can's of baked beans doesn't look so obsessive now, does … Continue reading The end is looming.
Moving ever closer.
As much as I think I am ready for the launch of [Indigo Romeo Lima] on April 11th, there's still a little niggle of doubt. I honestly don't know what I could add to the launch day/event, so I am hoping everything is fine and taken care of now. Of course, there is still the … Continue reading Moving ever closer.
The first flower
This morning the large camellia tree outside my bedroom window has a tui in it. That means the first flowers have opened. The tui love the camellia flowers. I thought I heard a tui yesterday and thought the flowers would open soon. The next birds to visit the camellia will be the korimako. Korimako are … Continue reading The first flower
The race is on …
Currently a proof from Amazon and a proof from Draft2Digital are winging their way to me. This morning it seemed like the D2D proof would win but now it looks like the Amazon one might be in the lead. One is coming from Sydney (Amazon) the other from Melbourne (D2D). It's an exciting race, to … Continue reading The race is on …
Waiting …
Some days are waiting days.Currently I'm waiting for the dog ranger to come and make us safe again by removing a dangerous dog from the neighbourhood. We shall see if that happens or not. I hope it does. I'd quite like to bring our big red bin in from the street but none of us … Continue reading Waiting …
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 …
