I’ve just had a birthday. It was a quiet one, of course – the day spent at home, gifts arriving via post and email, birthday messages virtual for the most part. I was lucky, nonetheless, to hear from so many people, and to have immediate family with whom to spend it. It was very different,Continue reading “A Tale Of Two Birthdays”

A Tangled Path – Where Do We Go From Here?
As we move through these strange times, I suppose we each have our way of dealing with what’s going on. While we are linked on one level by the shared experience of lockdown, each of us has our own set of circumstances to deal with in how we find our way forward. I found itContinue reading “A Tangled Path – Where Do We Go From Here?”
Thank You
It’s evening. The time of day when I’m usually working (other than during the day, when I’m at work). Working, over the past few months, has been editing and formatting and writing, leaving not much time for blog posts or visiting around. I did write a short post the day before yesterday, with some updatesContinue reading “Thank You”
The Stable Bow
July is almost over and, with it, another round of Camp NaNoWriMo. Don’t ask me why I signed up to do it a second time, but I did, and I’ve just hit my word count goal – yay! Over two months of writing – April and July Camp – I’ve ended up with 50,000 wordsContinue reading “The Stable Bow”
Tea, Updates and Vampire Stories
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”
When The Forest Calls
I’ve had one of those days today where I’ve done a little bit of lots of things, but not much of anything. There’s been laundry, as usual, plus some cooking – I made sweet chilli sauce that’s more chilli than sweet, some guacamole and some smoked almonds, so have been snacking most of the morning.Continue reading “When The Forest Calls”
A Friday Update
The first week of school holidays is almost over – too bad the gorgeous girl and I have spent much of it housebound, struck down again by the bug that just won’t go away. However, modern medicine and good old-fashioned rest seem to be doing the trick, as we are both feeling better and actuallyContinue reading “A Friday Update”
Three Days Three Quote Challenge – Day 1
I was recently tagged by Meredith of Mezzalilly’s Teen Book Reviews to participate in the Three Days Three Quotes Challenge. I have done this challenge before, but there are so many wonderful quotes in the world I’m very happy to participate again. My first quote is from Tolkien, the master of Middle Earth, and it’sContinue reading “Three Days Three Quote Challenge – Day 1”
Getting Ready for Camp NaNo
I was going to write ‘It’s Monday.’ Then I realised that it’s Tuesday. The Bank Holiday has thrown me off a little, the week already starting without me realising. It’s only a few days till I head to my virtual cabin for Camp NaNoWriMo. We have a full cabin, twelve writers in all, and ourContinue reading “Getting Ready for Camp NaNo”
#BlogBattle – One Year Anniversary Edition
I’m fairly new to Rachael Ritchey’s Blog Battle, but am really enjoying the challenges so far. And, guess what, I won one! My entry Behind The Mask, for the theme word ‘Hair,’ was voted last week’s winner, so thank you very much to everyone who read and voted for the story. This week’s theme isContinue reading “#BlogBattle – One Year Anniversary Edition”
