Nothing about me today, only something that is personally important
Entry Penned Beginning Tuesday November 11th 2025 C.E 09:12 GMT+11 Six years. Six years that must have felt like sixty. Six years of a horror and a terror the scale of which was beyond the comprehension of most everyone. Six years and it must have seemed like the world would never be quiet again. And…

Clearly I need a new routine…
Entry Penned Beginning Friday November 11th 2025 C.E 09:12 GMT+11 So I posted a month ago, like exactly a month ago, to try to unstick myself. There have been at least two big posts I wanted to right, and they each deserve a post of their own entirely separate to each other….and I just haven’t…

And then I blinked…..
Entry Penned Beginning Saturday October 11th 2025 C.E 20:20 GMT+11 It has been 6 months since I posted here, a whole half a year. Getting posting again is hard, I have had the urge to every few weeks but little barriers began to feel like big ones until finally the whole idea seemed too much.…

A full week
Entry Penned Beginning Sunday April 13th 2025 C.E 09:029 GMT+10 It has been a very busy week, end even though sometimes it feels like spinning in circles it really is making some progress; it is more spirals than circles.

Early morning Parkrun
Entry Penned Beginning Wednesday April 5th 2025 C.E 13:02 GMT+11 No, no; not for me. That title might be misleading if you didn’t know me but I don’t run for enjoyment, just never got the hang of it. If I am running it is going to be too or from something; and if it is…

One foot in front of the other
Entry Penned Beginning Wednesday April 2nd 2025 C.E 13:13 GMT+11 It feels like the last week and a half have really been a blur, settling in at the farm, which we have affectionately nicknamed The Castle. Cleaning the house and the flat, making everything habitable for us, learning the quirks and planning next steps. Dad…

A change is as good as a holiday, how about a change while on holiday?
Entry Penned Beginning Monday March 24th 2025 C.E 13:46 GMT+11 So there has be a lot going on. For the last few months we have been spread between our rental place in Thailand and staying with Robert’s grandmother in regional Victoria. It has been lovely but also a touch crowded and being as remote as…

Been 20 years since I did that!
Entry Penned Beginning Monday February 24th 2025 C.E 20:34 GMT+11 Doing a lot of settling in, trying to get some things organised and arranged but as ever things move at the speed of the slowest bureaucrat involved. Still a personal achievement that I wanted to manage on this holiday was to improve my physical health,…

Some days are good, others not so much -CW Animal death
Entry Penned Beginning Tuesday January 21st 2025 C.E 14:27 GMT+11 The last few days have been a combination of truly pleasant and heartbreaking. This last weekend I got to spend some time in Melbourne, the city I used to work in and spend much of my time. Being able to show so many of the…

Surely you are overreacting?
Entry Penned Beginning Tuesday January 21st 2025 C.E 14:27 GMT+11 No I really am not, and don’t call me Shirley! So there is lots happening here, most quite positive but as is my nature I am not inclined to share about it until it is settled and sorted; my grandfather used to say “It is…
