Someone commented to me the other day that they were finding hand-writing a strenuous effort: that’s what too m... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=522509166 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=522509166 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:01:00 GMT I’m feeling thoroughly miserable just by looking out onto the garden. The sky is like mud and the windows are plastered with icy raindrops. I can hear the rain thundering down on the conservatory roof... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=520386143 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=520386143 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 09:26:00 GMT Hallo, it’s me again. Just touching base after returning from a few days in Monte Carlo visiting sister (SIS) and husband of sister (HOS). They live in a block near the sea. It used to be practically ... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=519253438 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=519253438 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:10:00 GMT How depressing – winter appears to have arrived. Suddenly England is cold, windy and wet. Can’t wait to escape – as I will be doing shortly, if only for a few days. I wrapped the tree fern up for wint... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=517781884 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=517781884 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:10:00 GMT Hallo again, I just got back from a few hours with SIL and BIL at Tring auction – I didn’t leave any bids, nothing of the remotest interest. Nothing that is, that would fit into my house. There was a ... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=516513019 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=516513019 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:54:00 GMT  Time for a moanI shouldn’t really be moaning because it’s been a fun week in many respects, ending with a sublime performance of Tristan and Isolde at the Royal Opera yesterday. Even the horrible sta... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=514962527 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=514962527 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:25:00 GMT  Where’s the time gone, eh? The last few weeks have been so hectic that I simply haven’t had a moment to sit down and record my incredibly interesting thoughts.So what have I been up to? Well, exercis... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=514009659 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=514009659 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:53:00 GMT I just checked the Amazon page for my novel The Moon’s Complexion (as one does…) and found a new feature. In big bold letters it announced that ‘72% of the people viewing this page buy The Moon’s Comp... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=511548122 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=511548122 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:59:00 GMT Really, it’s a question of where to start. After three weeks living in a Chinese Supermarket in a southern suburb of Bangkok there’s a lot to write about. Of course not all the time was spent in the s... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=509535635 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=509535635 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:29:00 GMT I’m attempting to write this on my laptop. I say attempting, because I’m still sore after what happened yesterday. I spent the whole evening writing a large new chunk of ‘Noontide Owls’, my YA Fantasy... http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=505489566 http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=142242692&blogId=505489566 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 02:59:00 GMT
