Not in the biggest hurry …
I really am not in a big hurry to get to the bookshop today. Mostly because I'm tired. I've been tired for months. I think it's just the times we are living in causing tiredness. A lot of people are tired. People are sick in all directions and dropping like flies.I've tested negative twice now … Continue reading Not in the biggest hurry …

Christmas is over.
In some ways, I'm glad to see the back of it for another year. It's a day I don't particularly enjoy. There's a lot of cooking and cleaning involved, and then a lot of clean-up. I enjoy having the kids home, that bit is pretty awesome but the rest of it is long and tiring. … Continue reading Christmas is over.

I have a dark wee mind
Not a secret to those who've read my work but it is true. It's dark scary place for most people. Trust me, I am not someone to be screwed with because there is nothing you can think of that I haven't.Take the fucker who emailed me tonight for example. Who sends an email with no … Continue reading I have a dark wee mind
Attached to tech?
I am. I have no problem admitting it. Tech is my lifeline. It's how I communicate with my partner every day. It's the only way we survived 18 months apart, and now, we're back to FaceTime and texts because that 5000km (and change) distance requires tech.It's no secret that I love my MacBook. I really … Continue reading Attached to tech?
