I’m on a boat!*
I recently went on a cruise for two weeks to New Zealand. It was pretty good, all in all. Here is a picture of me eating icecream for evidence. Things I learned (fun): Other things I learned (less fun): Verdict: Would cruise again, but perhaps not for a while, and maybe I’ll take a friend…

Difficult days
This weekend was weird. There are a couple of contributing factors to why the weekend has been weird. 26 January is a hard day to sit with for me. It’s currently the official national day of Australia, but there are many who believe the day the European settlers landed and started their systematic destruction of…

Bring on 2024!
I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve seen enough articles about how they don’t work, and I’ve seen how busy the gym is in January compared to other times of year to know resolutions are often abandoned. Instead, I like to write myself a list of goals that I can work towards in the…

First day of summer?
I live in Melbourne, Australia, and it’s notorious for having quite changeable weather, and these last few weeks have been no exception. As I write this post I am looking out at grey skies, watching the trees whip around in the wind, and wondering if it will rain soon-some start to summer. On Monday it’s…

Happy Birthday!
This week it’s my birthday-I’m turning 39, which feels old. At the same time, several people have said it seems young, so perhaps I’m biased by it being the oldest I’ve ever been. I worked on my birthday, I guess I didn’t have to, but it seemed a waste of an annual leave day to…

I’ve been busy!
I haven’t posted here for over two months, I feel a little bit bad about that, but in my defence, I’ve been doing things in the real world, so I guess there’s that. Ever since January 2020 my world has been topsy turvy – I was in a car accident and then we had the…

Is this good tired?
This weekend I attended a writers retreat with members of the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild. We were in a house down on the beautiful, cold, rainy, Mornington Peninsula. Nineteen writers all together, inspiring each other and learning from one another. I came home today, and I’m super tired. Partially in the brain-full-of-new-information way, and partially…
