Jesus ! – LESSONS ?

Yep. Lessons.

I’ve forgotten every damned thing I ever knew about WordPress. And I once had over 4,000 followers.     [sob !]

Entirely my fault, of course – much and all as I’d dearly like to blame it on someone else, or on someTHING.

So here I am going back to the source and having them send me things to do, so that I can (it is to be fondly hoped) find myself able to competely revise my current site – the one that’s been sitting there for many years.

Pathetic, isn’t it ?

Sighh …

Just watched myself for an hour !

Here’s a greatframe taken from inside the most expensive gîte we ever stayed in. It was in a beautiful part of France, and it had a beautiful outlook. It also had a beautiful kitchen – possibly the best we ever had temporary control of. And that was It. The rest was rubbish. Pour les touristes, […]

2014 in review – I have questions !

“The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 52,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 19 sold-out performances for that many […]

2015: better, I think … I HOPE !

And I hope so for you all, mes amis ! I wish you everything you want in the coming year (and me, too !). This one for me was marked by my efforts to publicise “Atlmd” through library talks and through making your lives miserable by going on and on and ON about it. The […]

I shall be cruelly honest – with apologies …

Anyone who has read “Atlmd” will be aware that this time of year is not one I’m ever likely to celebrate. During the christmasof 2005, Stringer was lying in a hospital bed in this flat’s loungeroom, where he’d been since the 5th December. I had seen a dreadful occurrence at the hospital some 2½ weeks […]

A 55th reunion – without me

You know I was born in Perth, Western Australia, and lived there till I was 21 …? – well, a lot of you do. So, obviously, I went to school there: in fact, I and myfour sisters attended the one school from kindergarten to Leaving|Matriculation (the last year). Loreto Convent, Claremont, called Loreto ‘Osborne’ for […]

On being published

Now that I’m done with the spruiking side of Atlmd, I have more time than ever to reflect upon – well, what’s gone down … In all the talks I’ve given, I’ve been asked in the Q&A part afterwards about being published as opposed to doing thepublishing oneself, and I’ve told the truth: the only […]

Book clubs

I’ve just discovered that we have one in Pyrmont. My experience of a book club is limited to one that I tried a few years ago, whereat I found that the opinions expressed were without exception entirely contrary to mine. You’ll be amazed to learn that I didn’t give ’em all a spray and say […]

Update

Because of completely stuffing up the creation of my new blog in EXACTLY the same way that I did it last time !!!!!, nothing has yet happened on that front. This one remains alone, alone-ee-o, pro tem. Paula arrives tomorrow, staying for roughly 17 hours – during which we shall probably be glued to our […]
