It’s a good day when you get a first look at the cover art for your book, and it’s completely amazing! 

So, my mum’s mini strokes can’t be made to go away permanently.  Well that’s just fucking dandy.  Anybody got a heart in good working order they don’t want anymore?

Keep your fingers crossed for me, looks like I actually get a day off Thursday!

I know nothing about Gridiron, as we call it down here, but this little fact I learnt today blew me away: an average game only contains 11 minutes of action.  11 minutes!  That’s astonishing to me.  That contrasts to rugby league that we play down here which is two 40 minute halves, each half essentially non-stop action.

I’ve collaborated on a story with someone I think twice in my life, the last time maybe 15 years ago.  And I miss it.  I found it creatively fun.  But I’m not the sort of person who can collaborate with just anyone, and certainly not with a stranger; it’s too personal an experience for that.  I’m probably just odd that way.  And I’m sure some writing styles would clash too much to collaborate to create a seamless story.  But I do miss it.

A very happy, joyous, and healthy New Year to you all—may 2018 be the best year ever!

It’s nearly twenty to twelve. I’m trying to write, but fireworks keep going off outside and making me have mini heart attacks. Not entirely unlike Clegane, however I don’t think it’s helping.
Anyway, Happy New Year to you all, however you are celebrating!
 

Happy New Year, everyone. May 2018 be your best year yet. 明けましておめでとうございます　
 

Got my computer back now.  Microsoft Windows 10 updates are the spawn of the devil.

Australian’s yesterday voted to have marriage equality.  About damn time.  Now it’s up to the useless politicians to actually put it into action.

I think my cat was bitten by a spider, but the tough old bastard somehow survived.

Wait wait, back the bus up… Americans don’t use egg cups or have electric kettles?  What in the actual hell!

This is an interesting youtube video about Australia, called “Why is there no crisis in Australia?” done by a British guy.  Interesting and informative.  It only goes for 11 minutes.

Just going to leave this here:
