  • Four Weeks, First Month

    It feels like I just started the week, to be honest. February is tomorrow and I feel like it’s still mid-January. Though it means I’m moving faster towards moving out … I hope the rest of the year isn’t a… Continue reading

  • 26th January in Australia

    Survival Day, A Day of Morning, Invasion Day; there are a couple of names for it and the one that I won’t abide by is ‘Australia Day’. This post is more of a discussion on the topic and not to… Continue reading

  • Monday Monday Monday

    I’ve always imagined that Monday as a person must be quite nice. They’re neatly dressed and walking around with a bell in the morning, holding a coffee in hand as they coax us into the beginning of the week with… Continue reading

  • And a New Week Begins

    This week I have a few different things going on, some potential job opportunities and some overhauling of the contents of the house. I’ve started going around the house little by little, pulling out all of my belongings, culling them… Continue reading

  • Second Week Down

    This week has been hot and a little rainy, with a dash of writing and uncontrollable excitement over the prospect of soon (ish) having my own place. My own space. I’ve been trying to reel in my enthusiasm, as it… Continue reading

  • Jane Eyre … I think

    Sometimes I can’t remember if Jane Eyre is the character or the author … and then I remember that there’s a reason they’re referred to as the Bronte sisters. I don’t mind Jane Eyre, but I haven’t been reading much… Continue reading

  • Writing as Escapism (Short Thoughts)

    I’m sure I’ve mentioned before about how, for me, writing was a means of escape from life, my childhood and my adulthood. There are still sometimes I write with the mind of being somewhere else, but it does not guide… Continue reading
