Another milestone in my martial arts journey - just passed grading and got my 2nd Kyu (brown belt with two stripes). Two away from black belt. Sorry that Erin couldn't grade today (got a nasty cold) - hopefully he can catch up in coming weeks.

Mate a slightly different risotto tonight. Bacon and roasted pumpkin with some peas to add colour. The butternut pumpkin, parsley and marjoram are from the garden.

Aurealis 182 says nice things about PS Publishing's anthology, The Time Machine: Australia Bound, which includes a piece I wrote.
“This anthology is perfect for fans of HG Wells, for those who enjoy stories about time travel, and those who appreciate Australian stories
represented in literature.”

It’s Erin’s birthday today - she turned 20, and in so many ways I’m proud of her. With all her challenges she always overcomes them and she has turned into a courageous and kind individual.
We just finished karate and ju-jitsu training and this arvo we’re going to a Teppanyaki restaurant.

My middle grade (& up) novel, Guardian of the Sky Realms, will be released globally on the 10th February 2025 - through IFWG - a great track record with middle grade publications. This is a reprint but the following month it will be followed by its sequel, Champion of the Sky Realms - brand new.

Tonight’s menu -Dhansak Chicken with dhal, poppadoms and basmati rice. Main dish cooked using British Indian Restaurant (BIR) cooking. Wonderful sweet and sour flavours from a combination of pineapple chunks, jaggery and lime juice.

A few weeks ago we removed a chimney from our home (not needed at all), and it passed through our second storey. Slinky found it a fascinating hole (until we sealed it). :)

10 days left for our holiday in Japan- just over half way. 5 days in Osaka from tomorrow and then we return for 5 in Tokyo. While the heat was the most significant obstacle, it has been a great stay so far and we are already talking about coming back in a future year.

Looking forward to the release of Bree T Donovan’s novel, Blackthorns of the Forgotten, on the 23rd of this month. Awestruck to find out she is donating part of her royalties to SAVE A FOX rescue located in Minnesota, and Florida.

After quite a few years without any decent vacation, tonight the Erin, Jenny and I are getting ready to go to a hotel in Brisbane tomorrow, and Monday morning fly to Japan for 3 weeks. Simply can't wait for this.

Prepared dinner for tonight (as Erin and I go to karate training and get home late). Made a cream cheese stuffing with home grown chives, bacon and smoked paprika - stuffed home grown poblano chilies. Then used same stuffing with asparagus for chicken breast rolls.
