…and then there was light
Entry Penned Beginning Wednesday January 21st 2025 C.E 11:02 GMT+11 NOTE: Mild spoilers for Star Trek StarFleet Academy ahead; more vibe than plot points Last night I got to see the Aurora Australis, meaning I have now seen both the Northern and Southern lights. I know the physics and the science behind them and yet…

For Auld Lang Syne
Entry Penned Beginning Wednesday December 31st 2025 C.E 10:01 GMT+11 New years eve, by the Gregorian calendar at any rate. My family rarely celebrates the regular New Year, ours traditionally begins a little later as we spend 12 days in a sort of limbo period meant for reflection on what has been and what is…

A long week ahead and behind
Entry Penned Beginning Tuesday December 23rd 2025 C.E 10:01 GMT+11 Last week was a heat wave; the week stretched out long and hot and frustrating. With less folks at the Castle but still the same amount of work to do it felt extra hard. In the midst of that we had a bit of the…

Sometimes the only constant is change
Entry Penned Beginning Monday December 15th 2025 C.E 18:40 GMT+11 Today I did not get my usual self care routine, although it will be returning tomorrow, today was the early start and on the road by 6:30 to drive Vincent and Bee to the airport. Off first to Singapore and then Thailand for a couple…

…and wake up
Entry Penned Beginning Saturday December 13th 2025 C.E 11:41 GMT+11 Last night I slept poorly, truth be told the last three nights I have slept barely at all. I have been unconscious but not hit actual sleep and the additional effort that has gone into our next steps has caught up with me. Today I…

A recap of things that deserve, and will hopefully get, their own posts
Entry Penned Beginning Saturday December 6th 2025 C.E 16:18 GMT+11 So quite obviously my attempt to break the writers block failed, and since then a bunch more stuff has happened, all of which deserved its own post, but for the sake of expediency and actually feeling like I can get back to writing here regularly…

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.…
