Friday Dec 20
Friday was a surprising day - first I managed to write 3000 words while manning the bookshop despite constant interruptions and they were not of the sale variety - good effort there. Then, Charlie messaged me about lunch. Marvelous! So it was out to lunch with Pip, Charlie, and Mrs Harris (somethings just stick). Jolly … Continue reading Friday Dec 20
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 …

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,
The learning curve
This morning I was thinking about all the changes in the last 8 months. Some are good and definitely for the better, some sparked a steep learning curve, and the last one was an expensive lesson. Didn't need that. At all. Without going into detail: Lesson learnt and sometimes (professionally) change isn't a good thing. … Continue reading The learning curve
