Floundering a bit at the moment. Turns out I'm not 100% convinced that I know what I'm going to do next. It's quite a weird feeling after years of knowing exactly what the next step was - listen to Ellie and write, rinse and repeat.Now it's wide open and could be anything and I don't … Continue reading What am I waiting for?

Dream Weaver
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

What's not okay is arthritis and not being able to do what I've always done (and taken for granted). So, today I went looking for … Continue reading Just Older

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

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
She Didn’t Do Magic
Tuesday in the bookshop wasn't I thought it would be. Nope. Not at all. When I walked up this morning I had one thought on my mind. There's a scene in Vaporbyte when Ellie recognizes someone in a photo from a bar. And I needed to add a wee sentence. I know I needed to … Continue reading She Didn’t Do Magic
