So, we're on the home stretch. I hope you've been answering these questions along with me - even if you don't share the answers, after all not everyone's comfortable with sharing their "stuff". Surprisingly few of the questions have had no relevance or resonance which I always think is a good sign. Links to Parts... Continue Reading →
Earlier this year, I put pen to paper, listing six writing-related resolutions for 2018. As the first quarter of the year is at an end, I thought I'd better re-visit them. Not simply to check on progress, for I could tell you how that's going off the top of my head, more to give myself... Continue Reading →
And here we are at Part 3. If you're doing this along with me, here are links to my answers for Part 1 and Part 2 in case they spark something in you. I hope you're finding this process as interesting as I am. 11. In what situation would you feel most out of place?... Continue Reading →

That's all I can offer you as I'm busy, busy, busy ... Even more so than usual, as I've the added weight of the A-Z Challenge. In my previous life at Bunny and the Bloke I jumped in to blogging largely via the annual April blogfest. Indeed, it was the methodology for my getting know... Continue Reading →

I have a rule - one I think most readers share - to read the book first. In the case of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "Americanah" that was easy, as no screen adaptation had yet been made. But Book Riot recently reported that plans are afoot to make a mini-series (rather than a film). And I'm... Continue Reading →

Me, when something new comes up, I like to do a bit of what a friend & I dubbed "data-mining". From our starting positions, we'd throw around stuff we already knew, adding to it as we came across more information (read, researched, heard, been told), and we'd ask "what if" or "how about" and "maybe"...

In this particular instance, I'm going to be talking about photography, but I imagine it could apply equally well to other areas. I've been mooning around because my camera developed a fault on Christmas day. Now, truth be told, this didn't leave me entirely without a camera for I still have my trusty Pentax Q...
