Life In An Expanding Universe…

Well the coming week is alive with possibilities. I get a haircut and my first round of vaccine on Tuesday. I thought about spreading these hallowed events out to prolong the excitement but on the other hand I wanted them both as soon as possible in order to try and get back to normal. After … Continue reading Life In An Expanding Universe…

On The Serious Matter Of Pens

I write. Badly. I don't mean in the stylistic sense. At least I hope not. My handwriting is awful. Southpaws are legendary for this failing and I have true "doctor's writing", which is, I suppose, appropriate. However, you know you have a problem when you can't read your own degenerate scrawl. My solution to this … Continue reading On The Serious Matter Of Pens

Juggling…

In keeping with the resolution to be a better blogger and write regularly here I am. In Lockdown still. So that limits what you can talk about right? Well, up to a point.

I exterminated that permanent little grey cloud nagging in my phone and computer. It was not easy. Despite resolving to … Continue reading Prisoner No More!

Back Again & Clearing The Stables…

Well it has been a while since I blogged regularly. Which is poor but I have been busy. My second novel is taking shape, finally. I have also been getting into making cartoons, taking care of my silly side - hence Dave The Duck. Hopefully the fruits of that labour will appear in the near … Continue reading Back Again & Clearing The Stables…

Shocked Myself…

Wellllll this is a wakeup call. I was doing an update for my book promo and was pretty focused on what I was doing. Then my phone beeped and I picked it up. Then I dropped down the rabbit hole. I clicked on an Instagram update. Then I scrolled down the latest junk on there. … Continue reading Shocked Myself…

The Summer Of Lockdown… Did I learn anything?

This has not, needless to say, been a fun summer. Since the idiocy carries on my level of stress and grumpiness will no doubt continue to rise. Eat your heart out Victor Meldrew. I did not become a super baker, the need to lose a load of weight took care of that but did I … Continue reading The Summer Of Lockdown… Did I learn anything?
