I know, I know...of late my blogging has been atrocious. This week for my local writer's group I had the task of writing a letter to a dead relative/friend. Strange subject I know...and guess who set the task ?? Yes...it was me. I am learning there are few coincidences in life. I know from writing… Continue reading It’s been a while…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmucVmr60HQ I was...and am I huge fan of Sons of Anarchy. I watched the first episode and was hooked right though to the end. It was a violent TV show.

Writing for me developed from a love of reading. There were not enough books in the universe for me to devour. Winnie The Pooh, Daktari, A Child's Garden of Verses, Rebecca, and Wuthering Heights were all beloved favourites. They taught me so much. They taught me that there are all kinds of stories to… Continue reading “We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.” —Ernest Hemingway
Yesterday I told you I was taking part in a march against animal testing. No one from the government in power here bothered to attend any of the marches to address people's concerns. Though with this government it sadly does not surprise me. My country is going down the gurgler in many areas and many… Continue reading Some thoughts and a few cute fur babies.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the computer will cooperate and this post will see the light of day. I am also hoping that soon all will be sorted on the insurance front.
