News of the day | week | month

I’m shutting down this blog’s activity level to … hibernatory ? Yes, that’s the best adjective. It should let you know that there won’t be a whole lot of posting happening inthe foreseeable future (a phrase that most definitely should NOT exist, but does). It’s time to let all that – stuff ! in those […]

CS monthly photo #14

Chic took thisat an historical site near one of our gîte stays in a GORGEOUS town called Montrésor; and the site itself is called La Corroièrie (not frightfully easy to pronounce). Not 100% this-morning, so I shan’t ramble on about this wonderful shot; other than to add that the whole of our stay in Montrésor […]

The Smallening (7)

This-morning I weighed in at 98.8 kilos, dammit ! I say “dammit !” because the last two days saw me slowly cutting back on a lovely big drop. Sighh … That’s how it goes with losing weight, eh ? – in fact, as you can see from the spreadsheet, it was a whole week of […]

The ultimate address

Today is my final author talk. You can read about it on my ‘Atlmd’ Events page, right down at the bottom, where you will find the Castle Hill Library’s very nice publicity poster about it. Yup, this is IT – there will be no more unless someone pops out of the woodwork and puts in […]

Today’s birthday (Sucheta)

It’s from the late, amazing Alan Watts, a British philosopher who was (and still is) described as “a zen philosopher” – hence the […]

A cry from the heart (again !)

I’ve posted about this before – twice – and I shall post about it again, some time in the unforeseeable future (isn’t that ALL of it ?). Image editing. It’s something that would be so EASY for everyone to be on top of; and that’s probably why it’s so annoying, she said intolerantly … You […]

I must be fair

A young bloke from Kogan called me: boy, is he good at his job (which is, I have to assume, soothing irate customers) !!! I am soothed. He has agreed that the “user manual” is basically a pile of shit – although it may have been I who used the phrase, come to think of […]
