I discovered … Continue reading Time is on my side

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
Made up holiday, anyone?
To be honest we don't really bother about Valentine's - the whole long distance thing makes it hard enough without adding commercial 'holidays' to the mix. (Bad enough that we weren't together for our birthdays and Christmas last year!) But, we're pretty good at appreciating each other every day. :)I know a lot of you … Continue reading Made up holiday, anyone?
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 …

And it all changed …
Welcome to the weekend. I knew this was going to be a writing weekend - because yesterday morning as I read the last chapter I wrote (a few days ago), I could hear Ellie. I heard the exasperation. I'd gone off script. She was not happy. It happens sometimes and I always fix it because, … Continue reading And it all changed …
Birthday Week Musings
This time last year my tenth book (Qubyte) was about to launch. A month ago today my eleventh book (Cryptobyte) launched.Could try harder could be my catch phrase.Although I do try hard, I’m just not getting anywhere. That’s frustrating, really frustrating. There is only so much I can do on my own and I reached … Continue reading Birthday Week Musings
Dear Readers,
Seemed like a good title for a blog post ... not sure if it works but hey, you be the judge. Since I've been away taking very good care of #MyKnight while he recovers from a hip replacement, I've actually done a few things. I know, I was surprised too. For starters, ALL the Byte … Continue reading Dear Readers,
A possessed MacBook
This weekend I discovered my MacBook is possessed. Yep. Or at least something has possessed the cursor and it does whatever the fuck it wants whenever it wants. It moves around so much and moves my screens so much that it makes me feel ill. I have zero control over it when it does that. … Continue reading A possessed MacBook
