I know there’s a weekly thing where bloggers catch up as though having coffee, a conversational get-together with updates from the past week. I’m more of a tea drinker, myself, so, if we were having tea, this is what I’d tell you: So, this happened yesterday. Yay! I reached my 30,000 word target with SilverContinue reading “Tea, Updates and Vampire Stories”

Walking It Out
I like to walk. I walk every day, through choice as much as necessity (we are a one car family) and, unless it’s really raining, I enjoy the fresh air and exercise. The gorgeous girl and I walk to her school every day – we play word games and look at the world around us,Continue reading “Walking It Out”
Thursday Doors – Camden, London
Here’s my entry to Norm 2.0’s Thursday Doors challenge for this week. There are actually three doors in this photo (plus bonus London double decker bus). The black door is obvious, but there are doors in the two end ‘faces’ as well. I took this photo in Camden last week, on the way to aContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Camden, London”
Wednesday Wander – Andorra-La-Vella, Andorra
Hidden in a valley, walled by high mountains, Andorra is built from wood and stone, houses perched on cliff edges and peaks, the main road following the path of the river that rushes from the mountains, carving the land. When I told a friend that I was going to Andorra last year, he commented thatContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Andorra-La-Vella, Andorra”
#blogbattle – A Run In The Dark
I’ve had a few weeks away from Rachael Ritchey’s #blogbattle, so it’s nice to be back. This week the topic is ‘Voice,’ and my entry is an excerpt from Silver and Black, the vampire novel I’ve been working on this month as my Camp NaNoWriMo project (only a few thousand words to go!) ——- AContinue reading “#blogbattle – A Run In The Dark”
Making Magic
It’s been a funny sort of month. A mixed bag, if you will. Oh, nothing too full on awful – simply a combination of things that have left me feeling a bit down, less inspired than usual. But really, who am I to complain? With the state of the world as it is, I knowContinue reading “Making Magic”
#writephoto – Spiral
This morning I woke to the internet being down. Completely off. A recorded announcement from my supplier when I called them assured me an ‘engineer was working to fix the problem,’ which seemed fairly typical. I use the internet most days, obviously, doing research and reading blogs, catching up on posts I’ve missed and postingContinue reading “#writephoto – Spiral”

Originally posted on Sacha Black:

Thursday Doors – Museum of Traditional Architecture, Dubai
This door is part of the Museum of Traditional Architecture in Dubai. I wrote about our visit to the museum previously, as one of my Wednesday Wanders, but didn’t include this photo. The Museum was originally a royal palace, now restored and preserved as an example of the traditional architecture of Dubai, before steel andContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Museum of Traditional Architecture, Dubai”
