Well hi there, long time no see! You’ll looking amazing! You’ve had your hair cut? No? Okay… new glasses? I give up, you look great! What’s your secret? How’ve you been? Me? Oh you know, a busy little bee and all that. It has been really busy. I had a marathon three days of workshops … Continue reading »
Why yes, I have been silent lately. Work and thesis are demanding all of my time, and there’s been very little in the way of anything remotely fascinating to talk about, nor time to post. So, I thank you for your patience. I’m hoping for a picture post of what I saw in Brissie, and … Continue reading »
Dr K came down for the weekend, and a Saturday of good food, good music and good conversation (although the youngest member of the party blabbed on like the young’un she is, and feels slightly embarrassed for not being told to “shhhh” at times). It was lovely to sit out on the deck and eat … Continue reading »

I welcomed the end of Daylight Savings with open arms at 7am this morning. Summer is gone, autumn is here, and winter is well on its way. I didn’t get nearly as much as I wanted to done today, so it’s going to be an early morning in at the office tomorrow. I am looking … Continue reading »
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the roote, And bathed every veyne in swich licour, Of which vertu engendred is the flour…” Prologue, The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer I noticed this morning that this will be post number 202. Then I checked the archives to find that it was the second anniversary of this … Continue reading »
I was going to post this last night, but then we had a spectacular electric storm, and the Magpie stole the internet afterwards, and I had no hope of reclaiming it again Whew, what a write off. I hate days where you just feel too sick to do anything. Not listening to music, or *gasp* … Continue reading »
