Sun is shining and…
it is a delightful day. Or rather month... The screenwriting course was intense. I guess between that and the PhD I got a little burnt out. I am still here though. News: I got a highly commended for 'The King of Swansea' with the New Welsh Writer's Award which is amazing. We have kicked Simon… Continue reading Sun is shining and…
Mouses and electricity
I'm missing - you may have noticed. I'm on a screenwriting course that involves long days, about 12 hours, and that means that I have no time to blog. The course is only 2 weeks though so I will be back next week. How tired am I? Well, this was the conversation today: Me: My… Continue reading Mouses and electricity
So many
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you've ever taken on. My parents had a twenty-five year plan. They are probably the most tenacious, a.k.a. stubborn, people I know. My parents moved into their first house with only a mattress on the floor and orange crates as seats. They had nothing, in fact my dad had… Continue reading So many

The do-over
I like getting a do-over, a second bite of the apple, another go, and it means you can look at what went wrong last time. But sometimes, sometimes, there are things that are so ingrained that you do them again. I hoover every other day or so, but every time I mean to move that… Continue reading The do-over
Apples and Wasps
The bake off was about the apple. Personally I love apples. I love to eat them, but mostly I love to cook with them. There is a cake or a windfall scone or pie. They are lovely. You do have to worry about length of life as the products don't last so long. I love… Continue reading Apples and Wasps
Dinosaurs
I love them... You must have seen Jurassic Park... I saw it about ten times in the cinema. I was obsessed. Also I loved this particular cinema, it was an old fashioned picture house. One where you walked through a curtain to get to the screen, heavy velvet curtains the colour of deep red, the… Continue reading Dinosaurs
