Welcome to Friday. Turns out I'm getting older and I'm not super thrilled about it. The age thing is okay, I mean, I'm glad I'm not a freaking Zoomer. Imagine? 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

Welcome to the first week back in the bookshop after eight weeks at home. It's the first day of the first week. Pretty sure I've already offended people on Facebook by being me, but, you know what? I'm always me, fucking deal with it. And what I say on my own page, is entirely up … Continue reading No Apologies
Mother’s Day Musings
It’s Mother’s Day.A time for reflection, perhaps?I’ve been a mum for 37 years. Being a mum has taught me a lot. I learned very early (Caleb was 6 weeks old) that I was the one who needed to fight for him and to trust my instincts and that I knew better than anyone else when it … Continue reading Mother’s Day Musings

Eye Of The Tiger
Cannot listen to this song without seeing Jensen Ackles (the Yellow Fever episode) - not a bad thing at all. Anyway, that was the song that greeted me when I turned the radio on this morning. Nice song to start a Monday. :)I did absolutely no writing this weekend - hardly even wrote a text … Continue reading Eye Of The Tiger

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 …

It's a New Year and a new decade. I wonder what the twenties will bring? I've been a published author for a decade and one year, because my first novel was published in 2009.

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
