One of the things that have been so awesome about moving back down to Cape Town is how full our weekends have been. I don’t think we’ve had one full weekend where we didn’t have a commitment to see people. It’s been kinda cray cray ngl (she said to her favourite cupcake). Crazy but fun.

So whee! We made bread.
First off, I have no oven – well, I have this mini oven thing with no racks, so making anything in it is a bit of a challenge.
I also have no camera. I do, however, have some craptastic cellphone.
So with these molehills before me, I decided to make a picture post [...]
Steph Bowe did a “sixteen things” post, where she also encourages her readers to jump on the bandwagon.
I’m NOT doing a 33 things post because dear god.
six things. six things works for me.
Thing 1: I get obsessively fangrrly about certain anime. And no, I’m not saying which ones. I like to keep what tattered cred [...]
I actually just don’t have the energy or the ability to write a coherent post today.
The Slave has written it for me.
poo.
the internet ate my post.
Well I’m not really inclined to write all that kak again, so have a snippet instead:
When the rustling of silk and taffety and lace has quietened, Carien crosses her hands over her knees, and leans forward. “Tell us about the bat,” she says. All the heads around me come closer, and [...]
So yeah, I think the WiP has a name. It’s a placeholder, which means it will be called that until it gets trunked or published, basically. (Also, it’s a very lame in-universe in-joke that only I will find amusing, or indeed, catch. (The Melancholy Raven)).
Last night I went out with Nerine Dorman to the launch [...]
So the delightful Ms. Townsend has been hinting that she’d quite like to see a new Felicita and Jannik book from me. And always I’m just kinda eh I can’t think of anything.
Apparently I just need to give my brain time to play, because I woke up this morning with a conversation in my head, [...]
My dad gave me many things in his life – supported me, loved me, and taught me. All the things a parent should do.
But he also gave me rock n’ roll n’ science fiction. He gave me Jimi, The Doors, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, The Who – every seventies dinosaur who swaggered on stage and [...]
So I thought I had an idea for a new book, but alas it was not so.
I just need to write something fun.
The Slave said go back to writing fanfic.
TEMPTING.
But instead I am listening to Chumbawamba and wondering what to do with my brain.
And now I see My Darling Cupcake has a post that seems [...]
I love stuff like this.
I’m a sucker for jelly fish and blobby things and tentacled things and things with stingers and weird colonies of stingy things (like bluebottles (you call them Portuguese Man o’ Wars, I discovered, with much incredulity. No really, I thought they were something else altogether)) and omg have I ever mentioned [...]
