It's been a year. I am aware it's not even mid-July but it's been a year. It's a year since Superman's slowly fatal head injury. Six months was fucking insanity. At times, hilarious, but mostly awful. Then the next six months of getting stuff sold, bought, organised. It's also been a year since the home … Continue reading Somebody pour me a drink

Light reading
This week's light reading comprised of a security report, to be fair, that's not unusual. What fascinated me this week was how close I am to the truth when I'm writing the Veronica Tracey Series. Such fun! Let's just say that my bad actors are indeed a threat to our security. I knew that already, … Continue reading Light reading
10 things about last week.
Will there be ten? Let's find out, shall we?1. I can't remember Monday. 2. The drain layer (Jeremy) started digging the trenches. We could still use the shower and loo. Hooray! $$$$$3. More digging. Some drains were replaced out the front on the street. Everything was hooked up so we could use the loo overnight. … Continue reading 10 things about last week.

Authorial Doom Spiral
AKA: what happens pre-launch. Twice in the life of a single book, there are times when the brain goes completely feral: the instant you finish a novel … I call it *writers’ trench coat syndrome* when your brain doesn’t know what to do with itself and you are pretty sure nothing makes sense. It’s not … Continue reading Authorial Doom Spiral
Stone cold …
This morning I was creating some graphics. My right index finger was stone cold for nearly half an hour and then for fun it did it four more times. Maybe if I ever get contacted by Pacific Radiology to book an MRI of my wrist we will find out why this shit keeps happening. They've … Continue reading Stone cold …
The big shift.
There was a big shift this week. Doris and I moved into our new house. And it occurred to me that people don't saying 'shifting house' much these day. They move. Kiwi's mostly shifted back in the day. I think I like shifting better. Moving sounds like you've picked the house up and popped it … Continue reading The big shift.
Frank and me.
Tonight Doris and I went to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the St James theatre. We had seats in the third row. Yes, the third row. Yes, it was very loud - at times. No, we will not sit in the 3rd row again. (A 32 and 33) Just because it was so … Continue reading Frank and me.
The things we do.
Every day we do things. Things we don't even think about. We just do them. They're not usually a conscious thought, but learned or repetitive behaviours. Cleaning your teeth for example. It's second nature to most of us because we were conditioned to clean our teeth every day.I was thinking today about the frailty of … Continue reading The things we do.
