Channeling

The weirdness has set in. Maybe it’s fever. Who knows. But I got bored with being crook with the ‘flu, so the laptop came out of hiding to sit on my lap. It wasn’t conducive to undertaking any form of work, though, so I had to think of a strategy to get it all warmed … Continue reading Channeling

Down for the Count

Did you miss me? It’s not that I’ve gone anywhere … okay, I did go on a short holiday for a couple of weeks, but I came home. When I got home, unpacked, did all the stuff you do after getting back to home base – well, then I collapsed. With tiredness, I thought, so … Continue reading Down for the Count

Perception

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence? I’m writing my autobiography, it seems, and someone wonders what the opening sentence would be?

Min-Min

The moon opened its face, brought light into the deep hollow in the ground. Water glistened at the bottom, a long way down. Marks in the dirt showed tracks. This was the place of life, the Naji.

It’s a Big Question, and a Hard Answer

What advice would you give to your teenage self? What advice would I give my teenage self? What advice would I give my pre-teen self? What advice would I give my young adult self? It’s all the same question, in a sense. Maybe not to most people, but it is to me. I didn’t have … Continue reading It’s a Big Question, and a Hard Answer

Possibility

A visual aspect of the future – is it sunset or sunrise? For me, it’s sunset, because all my life the sun has set over the ocean and risen over the desert. But both are beautiful, both stark and colourful and full of promise. Whether dawn or dusk, it’s the spectrum of hope and possibility. … Continue reading Possibility

If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? Still actively looking for the best place to get lost …

Pastry Days

The best coffee and pastry shop in Adelaide. Mari’s café. Today, Mike was going to ask her out to dinner. Stefano’s, to be precise. A Michelin star restaurant. And dancing at the new club after dinner. They’d show the young folk real dancing, real passion in the steps…

Not at Home

There’s something missing here – oh, right! It’s me. I’m not around. Well, not physically. So, where am I? Out of town, not at home, gone wandering. Sort of. I’ve tried to log in a few times, with one success and multiple failures. And the auto-post that was supposed to go up must still be … Continue reading Not at Home
