It’s been a smidgen over ten months, so this post is long overdue. I’ve been meaning to write it pretty much since day one, but one thing led to another, and the inexorable torrent of life has carried me further and further away. To be fair, I can’t deny that I haven’t been the most […]
This is just a quick one, since I’ve been so busy getting ready for my trip. In the lead-up to Christmas I had to send out a series of emails to my team at work, one or two a day for about two weeks. As a bit of fun, I included an original limerick in […]
I have been a watch-wearer for probably fifteen years plus, ever since I was given my first watch as a little kid (I think it was a Christmas present when I was about eight or nine). But from then up until a couple of weeks ago, I was always just a one watch type of […]
I always thought I’d done a fair amount of travel. My travelling… career (I guess?) started when I was just four, when my parents took my sisters and I caravanning around Australia for an entire year, followed shortly after by two years living in the UK, Ireland and Belgium, and then over the years various […]
This one is, was, and always will be kind of ridiculous. It’s the technical restriction – the end result is like the narrator has language Tourette’s. I ended up keeping it quite short, for the sake of my sanity as much as yours. As a point of interest, I used twelve different languages – Afrikaans, […]
So my tweaking of the blog is coming along. Thought I’d throw an update about it. First of all, I’ve added a magical thingy that now officially tells me that no one looks at this blog, which is nice. I mean, it would be nicer if there were visitors, but… Second, I’ve added a couple […]
I intend to assign the Challenge to a regular day, but I need to decide which day, so for now here’s the latest set of restrictions. A nice spread, but that technical restriction is going to make things interesting. Title: Tell Me Tomorrow Premise: A lone man wanders through a desert wasteland. He is tired […]
Finally, amiright? It’s only been nine months. There’s not much I can say about this one. I rushed it because I needed the weight off my neck, so I don’t think it turned out as well as it could have. And I’m not convinced I nailed the technical restriction. But it ended up going in […]
I debated whether to title this post ‘I’m Still Here’ or ‘I’m Back’, but I haven’t actually been anywhere (yet – more on that in a bit), I’ve just been super busy, so I figured the former was the better choice. It’s been a little over six months since my last post, and those six […]
I know November isn’t over yet, but I’ve decided to conclude my NaNoWriMo. There are a couple of reasons for this. First of all, I don’t know what to add next. I already feel like a proportion of the words that I’ve written in the last few days may not be suitable, and that I added […]
