Blood Stone is progressing slowly. I’m not pushing to get vast wordage down fast on this one, even though I’m usually keen to make progress as quickly as possible, because there’s so much new in my life just now that everything is so…well, unsettled. So I’m content with baby steps. The new job is also […]

Split Enz, the Aussie/Kiwi punk/rock/vaudeville/swing band from the ‘7os and ’80s, released their first compilation album to mark their tenth anniversary, in 1983. They called it Enz of an Era, thinking it was a fitting tribute to ten good years. Which it was. They had no idea at the time that Split Enz would be

I think the last time I shared what I was reading, I’d just got my new cellphone and was finally revelling in the joys of being able to read any format ebook on the one device. I’ve gone a little crazy since then. <grin> I’ve also discovered the joys of audio books, too, especially if

For anyone reading this who is located north of the 48th parallel in North America, have a great Canada Day! I hope you have great weather where you are, and are enjoying a well deserved day off. I’m not, alas. I get to slug coffee for the late shift, all weekend, so spare a thought
I know I said I was back, last post, but I had no idea what a massive liar I was, at the time. Yeah, I was back in Canada — physically. As for actually being back in control of my life, all the strings in my hand, all lights green, ready to rock on…hollow laugh.

I’m almost scared to start blogging again. There’s a small mountain of news, tasks, and dust to blow off the site. Not to mention about 800 photos we took in Australia that I should really comb through to share the best of with you, that I never really had time to upload while I was
