It’s October and there are only two months until Christmas. I wrote down the list of things I need to get done at work before the end of the year. It’s not long but it makes me realise how much still needs to be done. But it also helps me to focus on what are… Continue reading Octob’rish

Six wives, three sisters and a politician
I notice that the three last theatre performances I saw were all based on real people, although the presentation of the stories was very different across all three productions. Six, a musical based on the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII. A burst of joy I didn’t know I needed. The show is… Continue reading Six wives, three sisters and a politician
Get back
Last year I watched the TV series, The Beatles : The Get Back Sessions. This was where the director, Peter Jackson, took some footage filmed in 1969 that was used for a TV documentary in 1970 and turned it into a three part documentary TV series. Looking at it with today's eyes, I felt it… Continue reading Get back
ABBA Voyage – review
I was there at the beginning and I stayed there until the end, purchasing the not-widely-known The Visitors album in my early teens. Music had moved on, ABBA was no longer fahsionable. I put my albums away at the back of the cupboard. It was some time early in my 20s I pulled them out… Continue reading ABBA Voyage – review
Accidental
I really thought I’d seen this play in real life, back in the long ago. I was an early teenager, and perhaps at the age at last where I could be taken to the theatre to see a play and actually pay attention without needing to be bribed with sweets. Perhaps my sister saw it… Continue reading Accidental
Happy New whatever
I have just renewed my WordPress subscription And I’m wondering why. Of all the writing I’m doing now, WordPress blogging is way down the list. I have signed up for a course called Edit Your Novel which is taking a lot of my thought and writing time. I signed up for the course despite not… Continue reading Happy New whatever
Midwinter: time to turn around
I have started several posts in the past week or so but my computer seems to no longer save WordPress drafts, and my phone was no longer synching correctly to the published content so I deleted the app and stepped away from the computer. But now I’m back, I’ve reinstalled the app, and it’s Christmas… Continue reading Midwinter: time to turn around
Alphas, omegas (48.2022)
The beginning and the end. The start and the finish. I have started: Reading Michelle Obama Becoming. It’s been on my shelf for at least a year, and it was probably the ads for her new book which I pass by on my commute that put this book in my mind. I’m enjoying it so… Continue reading Alphas, omegas (48.2022)
Addenda and errata (47.2022)
Live for the moment, they say. Be in the moment. I know this is what meditation is supposed to be all about. Not looking ahead, not looking back, just breathing in the now. I struggle with that. It seems that in the moment I am living now, I am constantly counting time, living in the… Continue reading Addenda and errata (47.2022)
46.2022
It's been a while since I wrote one of my weekly missives. Most weeks recently I just don't have the time, the inspiration or the energy to write something entertaining (for me or for you). I know the idea is you show up, you write and that is the work. But I feel like I've… Continue reading 46.2022
