Aussie-Anglo hybrid empowered by writing, fuelled by espresso, calmed by knitting, overexcited by photography, and madly in love with Amy Adams and John Keats.

I'm walking again this October to help support mental health research here in Oz! If you can help support me with either money or morale-boosting, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you kindly! 💙

An image of a musical score which is basically a pause for two beats - and then a wobbly line all along above the staves, with the notion "clarinet improvisatory screaming". This has been posted to social media. clarinetnerd17 asks, "Do I... Do I use my instrument for this?" durnesque-esque responds, "I mean, it'd be 10,000 times funnier if the clarinet player assigned just stood up and started screaming."

A comic by Sarah Anderson. First frame: An angel in heaven declares "I made a pure light being for the humans. They will bring unconditional love and joy!" Second frame: The pure light being is a loving and loveable dog. Third frame: A demon in hell realises they'd better thwart this if they can. Concluding frame: The demon, perhaps already realising they're on a losing wicket, proffers a rather eccentric looking black cat.

Bruce & I celebrated our 42nd anniversary at NOMAH, Milton. Mid-Eastern food so delish that I kept forgetting to take photos of each course as they appeared. So for your viewing pleasure I present the last of our dips being devoured, our empty dessert plates, and me with a drop of dip on my sweater.
Bruce scooping up the last of the dips while I am distracted. These plates used to contain pistachio baklava with frozen yoghurt. Me smiling in anticipation of the next course, unaware that I had dripped some dip in my excitement. Me reacting to my long-suffering partner by poking out my tongue. (Can't take me anywhere.)

Post your favourite #DoctorWho. Wrong answers only.
Optimus Prime from the Transformers universe. He "embodies strong moral values, exceptional leadership, and strategic prowess. Equipped with advanced weaponry and martial arts skills, he champions justice and peaceful coexistence with humans. As the bearer of the Matrix of Leadership, he leads the Autobots, engaged in an eternal conflict against the Decepticons. Originating from the ancient Dynasty of Primes, Optimus Prime's selfless sacrifice and rallying cry of "Till All are One" were pivotal in defeating Unicron." (quote from Wikipedia)

My theme for 2025 is #Arthurian. I am finally writing the Arthurian novel I've wanted to write since my teens, and I hope to also edit a companion anthology of queer Arthurian tales.

I'm posting here for self-accountability! And I'd love to have your company on this quest. 🐎⚔️🕊️
