A walk in the urban sprawl
I have the day off today and it's a lovely sunny day so I decided a walk was in order. I live in the suburbs but there aren't any really good parks for walking anywhere nearby so most of my tromping is done around the side streets. Which is always entertaining. Some...
The sky is smiling
No, really, it is! There's a very cool alignment of the crescent moon/jupiter and venus over Australia tonight. And I managed to take one non blurry shot thanks to the new camera and my baby tripod. The stars looked bigger and brighter than this in real life (click to...
Everything is better with cake
Over the last few months, thanks largely to the wonder of the crockpot, I've been getting back into the swing of cooking that had kind of fallen away when I took six weeks off. And now, whether it's the time of year, or the recovering cook in me or a case of...
And now I see
The other week I finally stopped resisting and admitted that perhaps I needed prescription sunnies (my close up vision is fine, I am in no way Mr Magoo but the street signs in the distance were getting fuzzy). Fortuitously I also received a voucher for quite a chunk...
A cunning plan, my lord
Is what I need. As I may have mentioned, there are quite a few book ideas floating around in the head at the moment, so what do we play with next? This was the initial writing plan for the year: Priority 1 project: Witch 1 Priority 2 projects: Progressing Wolf 3,...
Done like a done thing
Woohoo! Revision is all done! Finished. 425 pages of done-ness. I think I officially deserve the afternoon off unless the girls want to play with something later on. I'm going to mail this sucker to Miriam and worry about what to work on next later on. Progress - Wolf...
Success
Yay! Managed over ten pages, thanks to the magic of chocolate. Now I deserve a rest. Though really, I should do some exercise. Progress - Wolf 2 revision New/Revised pages - Revised 17 or so. Intriguing things - I do like this bit even though it's all horrid and sad....
She shops, she scores!
For a few weeks now I've had the uncomfortable feeling that the world had sped up a lot and that it was going to be Christmas before I knew it. Not that I actually did anything about it but today I decided I should at least start. I have a lot of friends and rellys...
Standing at the top of the downhill run
Well, I have fifty odd pages left to go on this revision. I'd like to finish it Friday. We shall see. The last fifty pages were written pretty fast but I think they're pretty strong so it should hopefully just be more layering and you know putting in that scenery and...
Dear Mel’s brain
When you are all tired and sleepy do not let Mel think she should futz with her blog template because you will make her delete half the code, not notice and then save. When she does notice she will nearly have cardiac arrest. If she has cardiac arrest, things will not...
