I am anticipating total mayhem

It has been raining steadily here for days now and everything is very soggy. The paths have turned to a muddy black mush.The water tanks are overflowing and in the middle of the night, Jeff’s shed and Dave’s bedroom  floor suffered minor flood damage. Not enough to cause any real damage, just enough to be [...]

If I actually think about what I am going to do, I start to hyperventilate…. eeeek…

Well maybe hyperventilating isn’t what I am actually doing. It is more like a full scale, mini panic attack combined with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. As well as a little ‘nerner’ voice in my head going,”You idiot, you have really done it now.” My heart starts to beat a little [...]

Just burbling away quietly…

My Mum has been horrendously sick with a multitude of yuckiness that has been caused by the chemotherapy. The two main culprits that have combined to make Mum’s life miserable are a terrible grinding fatigue and horrible nausea.
It is never a pleasant feeling knowing that you are unable to help a loved one.
I feel very [...]

A Ceramic update as well as other stuff. Like, possibly zombies

It feels like  time is travelling at an impossibly fast rate. The days seem to be sneakily getting shorter (and not just because it is Autumn either.) I am sure that some days are conspiring with each other and managing to just vanish.
Pfffffttt!!!! Gone in a blaze of almostness.
Like Hello, it is Tuesday already. What [...]

Feeling flat..

Flat flat flat..  Some days I wonder if it is the affects of this planet’s gravity that is doing my head in, or if I am just having an ‘old’ day..

Now for something completely different

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery – when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with [...]

Beware of censorship by stealth..

Censorship of the internet.
Government controls. Compulsory internet filters at the ISP level.
A secret list of banned sites.
China? North Korea?
No, My lovelies, Australia…
The land of “she’ll be right mate” is soon to become the land of Access Denied.  *sigh*
Can you please click on the banner and go and have a bit of a read and then [...]

I hate blank pages..

I really, really dislike blank pages. It doesn’t matter whether I am writing or attempting to draw something. I find the sight of that blank page is extremely offputting and intimidating.  If am writing an essay or  a letter once I turn the page and see a new blank page, my chain of thought is [...]
