One of my not-so-guilty pleasures: historical fiction of the Tudor era! Combined with coffee, cheese ball, and desultory chat before the working day begins, well, I couldn't be happier.
I am so tired. I had to not up hours for two casual jobs and before I could sign off for the day, I had to do stuff for David. I couldn’t face another minute at the desk so nicked out and was delighted by this little fairy garden And busy Rosellas.
All rugged up for morning tea!
Some spectacular colour in the sky this afternoon. About four thirtyish.
David picked up some books, including a few for me.
This is actually a memory from three years ago. Not only did I manage to get a 6 June appropriate word but they let me get away with it! And then I won the game by one point. A miracle as I rarely win, so, naturally I couldn't resist posting it again.
War & Society's article of the week! jgkennaway.bsky.social 'Military surgery as national romance: memory of British heroic fortitude' highlights how stoicism during surgery at Battle of Waterloo was a key part of Romantic Militarism's ideological framework. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
I love walking around my neighbourhood. It helps clear your head and stimulates deep thoughts. Always useful when you are #writing. Also, you never know who you will meet! Here are two of my suburb's avian residents.
Happy 3nd birthday to Kriegies! Shortlisted for the ACT Literary Awards 2024 on its first birthday, it won an award & later received the 2024 Anzac Memorial Trustees Military History Prize. Not a bad effort for a little self-published book that the majors weren't interested in.
I had a good morning writing so deserved a treat. Lunch with my best beau💕✍️✍️✍️✍️
