Two of my June titles nicely compliment each other and are timely and prescient reads given the pandemic challenge the world has been enduring in 2020. As we entered covid 19 lockdown I was interested in reading pandemic fiction and non-fiction. Lawrence … Continue reading June reading: Germs, Ghosts and Nullus Anxietas (No Worries)
Greet the dawn
So I managed to break free of the hostage situation that sums up my relationship to bed on a winters morning and drag myself out to watch the sun come up on Picnic Point. I expected we would not be alone but was surprised that there were at least a dozen people with the same … Continue reading Greet the dawn

Entropy comes easy
Photo by Johnson Wang on Unsplash “Only entropy comes easy.” - Anton Chekhov I must confess to going through a bit of slump at the moment, and I am finding it hard to find quiet time for myself to recharge.

I have … Continue reading Renewal
Time to slow down and #BookSnapSunday
Finally some quiet time. Time to catch up on reading blogs and books, writing posts if I am lucky. Even missed #BookSnapSunday last week. This week I am afraid it is a pretty unimaginative snap, off camping again, or should I say at last. Back at one of my favourite spots Woodgate beach. This week's … Continue reading Time to slow down and #BookSnapSunday

#BLM and The Tall Man
"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced". - James Baldwin Photo by Gayatri Malhotra on Unsplash I had planned to post on Wednesday but the planned post suddenly seemed so trivial in light of on going events in America.
