Dear Journal, I can't put my finger on it. Something just feels a little odd lately, I think it's a combination of being tired, being immersed in writing, close to being back at work and never being 100% relaxed leaves me feeling somewhat itchy in my skin. It's an unusual feeling. I think it time … Continue reading Tuesday, 13th November 2018

Dear Journal, I didn't really like Monopoly growing up. I mean, I liked the idea of playing it, but then when we actually started the game I quickly got bored of it. Today however I managed to pick up a DC Comics version with the usual characters, Superman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman - it … Continue reading Saturday, 10th November 2018

Without resistance the words just flow lately and it's fullfilling. On so many levels. The creativity, the reflection, the nostalgia, the relaxation, the therapy. … Continue reading Friday, 9th November 2018
Dear Journal, Spent most of the day indoors today, out of the ever increasing Sydney temperatures. Not even summer yet and yesterday was a vulgar 40°C, with today around 31°C. And to think we will peak at around 47°C soon enough. Save me! Little Everly Primrose is a little clingy to Mumma lately. She loves … Continue reading Saturday, 3rd November 2018

Dear Journal (and blogtober readers), Yesterday was a wonderful wrap up of week three of this month's challenge. I feel blessed. Today topped the cake above almost everything else. I'm exhausted. My head is pounding and I can't seem to shake the hiccups. But I couldn't go to sleep without dropping you a quick pen. … Continue reading Monday, 22nd October 2018
Dear Journal (and blogtober readers), It's appears, to my surprise, that people enjoy reading these occasional short journal entries. I mean, I like reading about other people's lives, so I guess it makes sense people might enjoy reading about mine. There is something interesting about seeing how and what other people do. It's the curiousity … Continue reading Friday, 19th October 2018
