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…

Oh Noes! Poly problems
Totally amusing moment when my husband and my wife had their first real conflict; Rose moved things around to put the butter away; a minute later Ash is rearranging the fridge and moves the butter. “Did you just move the butter I just put there?” ‘oh, yes, sorry, there is no room for my sauce…

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…

Nothing quite like the smell of an Aussie storm
I want to settle in and write some of the longer form entries but it just hasn’t been the right vibe. Some of that is because I am still Working, and tacere is not a suggestion, some of that is just the format of life right now. Still in the midst of it all I…

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,…
