Nuts!

I think I have squirrels in my walls, either that, or birds, or something noisy. The last couple of mornings there has been a lot of russling and this morning it sounded like nut cracking in what sounded like the wall (it could have been outside). It did sound a bit like birds, maybe there [...]

Good morning, feels like a Wednesday today..mid week. And guess what. It is! Had to really push myself to get to the gym the last two nights, but so far have been, It was pretty cold this morning and the one morning I decided to get a paper to read, I didn’t get a seat [...]
Bloggers…who are we really?

An interesting article that I came across today about the art of Blogging. Has a very USA feel to it, but still interesting. I thought that this quote was the best – surely not me..is it?

Been a busy day, I had a 1.5hr delay as well this morning, as I got into work and my network account had ‘expired’! Something to do with my contract end-date passing and suddenly I couldn’t log in, but all sorted and lots of bits and pieces to work on. I wrote a short piece [...]

Today I went to Sloane Square and met up with some family friends, Lindsay and Rob Moseby, who are over in London for a few days. They are staying in a really nice townhouse in Chelsea and we went there for lunch and wine. It was actually warm enough to sit outside for a few [...]

The travel writing workshop with Dea Birkett and Rory Maclean was excellent. 5 hours of solid information, ideas, advice, exercises and perspective. 2 excellent guest speakers and I came away from the day re-energised. I also realise that I have a lot of work to do to get to my goal of being published. I [...]
Quote of the day

Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person.

My handywork

A fairly reasonable first ’serious effort’ at photoshopping (from colour) as well as the web-site update. See here to learn more about the Executive Committee of RT and see my handy-work on the only female member of the committee! It’s a start?
What day is it ?

I had one of those mornings where everything seemed out-of-routine. Not me, but everyone around me. The alarm woke me, rather than the shower, and no housemates were moving around or seemed to have moved around before me. I checked my watch…twice and proceeded with my routine as normal. No-one else seemed to be stirring [...]
