This week’s blog is going to be a short one. Mostly, because I’m tired and I really don’t have the spoons for anything longwinded. So, my holidays are over and I have to say, it was two weeks well spent. I got a lot of writing done which was great. You’ll also be pleased to…

A Holiday Update from the Desk of Someone Who Nearly Burned Down the Kitchen Hello, lovely people! I know, I know — it’s been a while. But the holidays are upon us (or were, or will be, depending on when you’re reading this, and frankly, time is a flat circle at this point), and I…

Greetings from the snot trenches, where it is currently 1:30am, sleep has apparently packed a bag and left without forwarding details, and I am writing this with all the grace and composure of someone who has not slept properly in two days.

This week was one of the most frustrating working weeks of my life. The company I work for or, more specifically, the middle of the range upper management types are currently having knee-jerk reactions to everything. Look, I’ve worked where I have (quite happily I might add) for almost 17 years and I have seen…

May. I, in equal parts love and loathe the month of May. I love May because here, in Australia you can see an obvious change in the seasons. It means the Summer / Autumn wardrobe can be put away and the Winter wardrobe gets dusted off and ready to go. It means scarves. It means…

OK…. Today’s blog is just going to have a bit of everything To begin Last week I wrote a very short, very abrupt blog on the subject of spoilers. It wasn’t very long. Not very well thought out and was written mainly out of frustration and annoyance over the fact that human beings still refuse…
