Internet Passes Me A Cookie
Have been doing the Mama half of Mama Writering all day, with none of the writering. Jemima and I had a reasonably fun morning together as I slowly come to terms with her only having one nap, and that after lunch (sniff sniff to loss of previous productive minutes between 10:30 and 12) though she did rather make up for it by TAKING HER FIRST STEP UNAIDED. And then of course mocked me by failing to repeat the trick for the camera, so that nicely filled in some time. (she did it later to show Daddy but only when I wasn't looking)
Then it was the haze of sugar-dipped items and bouncy castles that is the school fair, dragging several children around for hours (including some borrowed from other people) and occasionally sitting down with tea and homemade cake because seriously, school fair cake is the best cake. I even did my stint of parent volunteering and made pancakes for 45 minutes! I'm pushing my comfort zone to the limit!
But then as I wended my weary way back to the car, with a bouncy sugared-up five year old dragging her heels because I wouldn't let her bounce on the bouncy castle again (not for four dollars!) I found that some arsehole had smashed my wing mirror to kingdom come. Either for kicks or because he couldn't be bothered to slow down on a road with cars parked on both sides. Bah. BAH. I love my car, and this is the second time it has happened to me in less than two years.
But then I came home and found this!
The Copywrite list of top Aussie blogs has always been of interest to me – though I can't understand a word of his system. I'm just delighted to have scraped into the very very bottom of the list. I think this is a great resource and an interesting way to find out about different writing blogs – we do rather stay in our own corners, so it's cool to see many spec fic names mixed in with all those literary darlings. Hopefully it will lead to some new discoveries!
Anyway, after my VERY LONG DAY I am totally taking this cookie.
