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.

Exercise Putty
It's strange stuff but kinda fun to play with. Surprisingly difficult to squeeze today so that's interesting. Yesterday it was easier. The putty I'm using is the second strength. How they make them different strengths, I don't know! It's made from silicone. Sort of reminds me of slime but it's not slimy so maybe more … Continue reading Exercise Putty
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
Friday 13th
Always been a bit of a special day. Good day to do all sorts of things. Especially if you're a bit Wiccan. Anywho, that's not how I spent my day. I spent it elbow deep in [Foxtrot Mike Lima] and I very much enjoyed it. Turns out my first draft isn't a shitty abomination at … Continue reading Friday 13th

Yep, [Foxtrot Mike Lima] is closing in on the finish line. Looks like a finished first draft is going to be this week not the end of October at all. Definitely coming in well before my original thoughts of late November. Joyful! I am very much enjoying writing this book.I have said that for every … Continue reading Nearly there!
80k and there’s more to come!
At the beginning of the year I did not think I'd be able to launch [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] in August let alone write [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Thankfully with excellent care from Habit Health I did launch [WTF] and I did start writing [FML] ... early on it was in very carefully managed blocks of a … Continue reading 80k and there’s more to come!
When the germs get you …
Yesterday I drank so many cups of tea I was beginning to feel waterlogged. This morning I'm on my second pot of plunger coffee because I cannot face anymore tea. It's very rare for me to drink this much coffee. Good indication that the germs Freda brought into the house have won. I shall keep … Continue reading When the germs get you …
