24.01.2022 It's International Coffee Day!! Coffee is a major component of a writer's day. I'm lucky in that I live within walking distance of the best coffee shop on the Coast. K's Espresso in the Emporio Building at Maroochydore. Local coffee lovers, if you haven't been there you really should try it. (Extra entertainment thrown in for free admiring the antics of Simon and Keona's cute baby).

16.01.2022 One of my favourite authors Trent Dalton in conversation with Astrid from Pub Choir (since Covid known as Couch Choir). Despite my disappointment in not having my contributions shown on any of the Couch Choir videos so far, I feel I must join in this Christmas one. It's Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You. My two daughters, when they were little, did a very cute dance to this song at their end of year dance school concert. Happy memories!
14.01.2022 Continuing on from my last post, on the theme of Alzheimer's, it wasn't until my mother was diagnosed that I realised I had missed my opportunity to find out more about her life. My article published on Better After 50 tells the story. Link in the comments.

10.01.2022 Here's a quick grammar lesson for those who weren't paying attention in English lessons. An Oxford comma walks into a bar, where it spends the evening watching the television, getting drunk, and smoking cigars. A dangling participle walks into a bar. Enjoying a cocktail and chatting with the bartender, the evening passes pleasantly. A bar was walked into by the passive voice.... An oxymoron walked into a bar, and the silence was deafening. Two quotation marks walk into a bar. A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite. Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything. A question mark walks into a bar? A non sequitur walks into a bar. In a strong wind, even turkeys can fly. Papyrus and Comic Sans walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Get out -- we don't serve your type." A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud. A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves. Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They converse. They depart. A synonym strolls into a tavern. At the end of the day, a cliché walks into a bar -- fresh as a daisy, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack. A run-on sentence walks into a bar it starts flirting. With a cute little sentence fragment. Falling slowly, softly falling, the chiasmus collapses to the bar floor. A figure of speech literally walks into a bar and ends up getting figuratively hammered. An allusion walks into a bar, despite the fact that alcohol is its Achilles heel. The subjunctive would have walked into a bar, had it only known. A misplaced modifier walks into a bar owned by a man with a glass eye named Ralph. The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense. A dyslexic walks into a bra. A verb walks into a bar, sees a beautiful noun, and suggests they conjugate. The noun declines. A simile walks into a bar, as parched as a desert. A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to forget. A hyphenated word and a non-hyphenated word walk into a bar and the bartender nearly chokes on the irony See more
10.01.2022 I highly recommend this book; dark and funny.
10.01.2022 #personaldevelopment #selfdevelopmenttools One of my favourite book genres is personal development. I have read so many self-development books over the years that I should be the most chilled out, happy, 'together' person on the planet! The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins is a book based on a very simple concept. Simple, but not easy, as she says. It's basically about how to stop your brain sabotaging you from achieving your full potential. ... The 5 Second Rule is the subject of my latest book review on my blog. If you're struggling with your mindset in these crazy times, I recommend it. Link in the comments.
