There’s Always Time for Tea
Last week’s RegularRandom featured a pink posey of rosebuds sent to me by my dear friend Lucile. When I did that shoot, I also shot a morning tea setup for me and my mum and I wanted to share that with you here. I found the colours so vibrant and beautiful. It’s been 18 days…

Five Minutes with a Snail – Regular Random (and a surgery update)
A few nights before surgery (stay tuned for an update on the surgery at the bottom of this post), I spotted this little snail making his way up the glass door to my balcony. So I grabbed my camera and spent five minutes with him for this week’s RegularRandom. After his five minutes was up,…

Surgery today.
Just a quick note to say thank you for all your comments recently and for thinking of me and my silly old shoulder. I’m heading into surgery this morning for the repair so I’ll probably be away from here for a few days. I have posts scheduled to go up every second day with my…

A Shoulder Update
As most of you know, I had an x-ray and an ultrasound on my shoulder last week to try to figure out what’s going on. It was an incredibly painful experience, maneuvering my arm into all sorts of crazy positions. I saw the doctor on Friday to get the results and he recommended I see…

Silently, she began to weep. Feeling profoundly sorry for herself, she rolled over and hugged the pillow tighter against her chest and let the tears fall.

A Day in the Life & A Play With Word Count
Hey Siri. Ding. What time is it? It’s 6:15am. Way too early. (She’s hilarious). My alarm is set for 6:35am but I decide to get up anyway. I hear Gidget stretching and I ask her how she is. She stretches again, shakes herself as dogs do, and pounces on the spot right by my head,…

The World Around Me
For our Finding Everyday Inspiration task today (Saturday, September 9th), I was to take inspiration from the world around me. Find a space and observe and write. Saturday is my sacred day. I like having no plans. I like waking up whenever I want, even though it’s almost always before 7. I make coffee and…

Some Context for the Cake
I shared images of Chocolate Cake for this week’s #RegularRandom a few days ago and my friend Meg of Snippets&Scraps inspired me to show you the context of the shoot. Take a look at her post featuring some magical ice patterns. I was creating a planning session – sure I was “planning” to eat the…

My Writing Space.
Separate to this post, we are also asked to ask YOU for ideas on what to write about. So tell me? What would you like me to write about? Any particular genre or style or topic? Right now, I’m typing this at my desk, in my home office. This hasn’t been my “normal” writing space…
