Well, yesterday I spent all day in A&E awaiting my turn to find out why my ankle keeps bending over. After a really long wait, it turns out that I have partially torn a ligament. Sounds painful? It is. But that's okay. I can take painkillers. Only problem is that it makes my head go fuzzy...… Continue reading Today

Normalcy
"Pi?" I call out into the sunlight. Normally he is inside waiting for a stroke before he goes to bed. He is a typical cat and hunts in the night, sleeping all day. "Pi!" I scream his name. Still there is no answering meow. He is a very vocal cat. When he was thrown into… Continue reading Normalcy

I have always wanted to play an instrument. When I was a kid I signed up for playing an instrument. There was a choice; the flute or a brass instrument. But they wanted people who showed some sign of aptitude for music. I was given a time and I went to the interview. It was… Continue reading Tweet, Clang, Crash
My space
I have a workshop where I write. It's a box that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Shelves cover one wall and art adorns the sides. A window sits but you can't see out. Instead the cool green of young trees filter the light. A sofa takes up the far wall,… Continue reading My space
Death in every bite
The daily prompt has asked what I'd put in my very own vending machine... The simple answer is - I wouldn't. Today I went shopping. And instead of going to the local shop I went to the larger supermarket. I say 'larger' because to me it is huge, but to most people it is medium… Continue reading Death in every bite

Last Monday I was unsure of what I was. I felt like I was waiting for something to happen. As if I were a… Continue reading A never-ending circle
Sleepless Nights
At night the monsters come out. They lurk in dark cupboards or moving shadows. If you switch on the light they retreat and you are left huddled in the middle of your bed, too scared to move. I don't know when the monster under the bed became such a problem with me... But even now… Continue reading Sleepless Nights
A change…
I have two computers. A laptop and a desktop. The laptop comes with me everywhere and the desktop sits in the study. The old study. Before we built the workshop I worked out of the box room in the house. It was a little cramped. And a little cold, but it was all I had.… Continue reading A change…
Trying to face my fears…
I am trying... It is hard. The worst of my fears is success. I have always been afraid of it. In fact, in the past I could even say I have sabotaged my own work in order not to succeed. Maybe it's the Aspergers... Or maybe it is just fear, plain and simple. I hate… Continue reading Trying to face my fears…
No worries and phrases I use.
I have been working on a novel and, being a large piece of work, there are a number of characters. All of them are different sizes and shapes, with separate personalities and different ways of speaking. The daily prompt has asked what phrasing you use all the time. And there is one - no worries.… Continue reading No worries and phrases I use.
