How do you do life? I like to try lots of different things and see what sticks. The mantra 'No two days in a row' stuck from Steve Kamb's Nerd Fitness. It's one of the rules of myth busters or something like that. I tend to use it flexibly. It could be 'no two cheat… Continue reading No two days in a row
Yoga is an internal practice. The rest is just a circus.Words by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois I read these in a book today and they made me smile. The circus. I like that a lot. Doing my yoga and other exercises is all circus. The visible layer of fun and costumes that sits above the… Continue reading Just a circus
Do I have to choose? I don't think so. I think blogging gets my mind ticking and the words flowing, which makes the fiction writing easier. Time is always a tricky one. Obviously when I'm doing one, I can't be doing the other. But I think that by prioritising blogging, I prioritise writing and creativity.… Continue reading Blogging or writing fiction?
They say do something you're afraid of every day. This is one of those things for me. Writing this. Early mornings is another. If you meet me in person, you'll describe me as quietly spoken. I prefer to call myself a listener, which is mostly true, especially at work where it's essential. Close family know… Continue reading This is my ‘something I’m afraid of’

"I have nothing to prove to you" ~ Carol Danvers Such a powerful statement. I'm a big Marvel fan. Have been since… Continue reading Captain Marvel: I have nothing to prove to you
There is the part of me that loves ... and I mean LOVES romance ... and hence both Valentines Day (or Galentine's) and White Day. There is also the sceptic in me who knows that White Day was created in Japan by the National Confectionary Industry Association as the answer to Valentine's Day. It started… Continue reading White Day
I went into this film not really knowing what it was about. I love Felicity Jones. Like Crazy and Rogue One are favourites. Theory of Everything was fantastic. Chalet Girl was ... well... it was a fun romp, I'll give it that. Felicity shone as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, capturing both her grace and strength, tempered… Continue reading On the Basis of Sex
We were lucky enough to catch A Room With A View directed by Mark Nagle at the Genesian Theatre in Sydney before the run finished. It was a fantastic production. As usual the Genesian cast sparkled with talent far beyond the amateur nature of the theatre. Phoebe Atkinson was wonderful as the young Lucy Honeychurch,… Continue reading A Room With A View at The Genesian
