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.

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
Life versus writing
Funny how things change. Used to be writing that was my happy place. Now it's Perth. I have little time for writing and am struggling to find a reason to carve that time out. Finding writing time has been increasingly difficult for the last four years. The only real writing time I get is when … Continue reading Life versus writing
Walking in sunshine
Stunning albeit cold day today. The walk to the bookshop was all sunshine and glorious. Don't mind cold starts when the day is lovely! So, what's been happening here?
