Kia ora,The week has begun. Well, it’s Sunday, so technically it’s the beginning of the week. So far, it’s all right, nothing to write home about. To be honest, it could try harder. My Knight is recovering from his hip replacement in Perth and I’m here in New Zealand. That is not the ideal situation. Thanks for … Continue reading Dream Weaver

I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday
Bonus points if you recognize the song title and know which album it comes from. I am not sleeping at all well at the moment. Figure it's a whole bunch of things including My Knight having fairly major surgery next week and due to asshats who can't do simple things like - not spread COVID … Continue reading I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday
Sympathy for the Devil
Monday morning was spent moving furniture, because it is impossible to get all the seed husks and small feathers the birds drop, without moving EVERYTHING. So, the kitchen was pretty well gutted. It echoed mid-way through the process, which was a bit freaky!Turns out I'm quite allergic to seed husks and dust from seeds. Big … Continue reading Sympathy for the Devil
Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
So a few things this week, early July is a mixed bag with an anniversary that makes me smile despite the origin and an anniversary of an event that tore my life apart. That's enough in the first few days, right? But no, not this year ... now we have Byte Series pens!! Hooray!! (There … Continue reading Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
Crystal Chandeliers
When I was small 'Crystal Chandeliers' was one of the songs my mum used play. She really enjoyed Charlie Pride, I recall quite a few of his albums in the rack (yeah, back when they were big vinyl records). She also loved Leonard Cohen, Tom Jones, Dinah Ross, Johnny Cash, and almost every singer ever. … Continue reading Crystal Chandeliers
Bad Moon Rising
I opened the cupboards yesterday and nodded at the contents, those tins know what's what. For years I've maintained a minimum tinned/dry/whatever food level, why?BECAUSE I LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND. At any minute the earth can throw a fucking fit and up end everything. Has done before, will do again. It seems to quite like … Continue reading Bad Moon Rising
I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
Thanks for that gem Aerosmith. I do love it. I pressed play, had no idea what I was listening to last - so, the Armageddon sound track was a nice surprise. 🙂 This song in particular has been a favorite for years. I've been hard at it over the last few days, making a lot … Continue reading I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing …
Give me something for the pain
*Title is a Bon Jovi song Feels like it fits today. Not that it hasn't been a good week or anything, it's more a writing thing. If you don't think writing can be painful then you're living in fairyland. Currently, I'm back at the beginning of #Cryptobyte because I know more now than I did … Continue reading Give me something for the pain
When I first met Ellie
Seems like a good time to talk about our first meeting and what I knew about her. It's been a few years since then. 10 novels, a lot of short stories, a novella, her poetry book ... she's given us a lot. She's been very open and sharing and still is.
