Winter walking
Just a few photos here to wrap up #blogjune among my library friends on Mastodon, who have been far more zealous than me over this month. It has given me a lot of pleasure to work over a few pieces for this month, all the same. On Tuesday my son and I had a refreshing… Continue reading

reblogged and rereadable – Geneva Phillips short interview on The Rumblr
I am reblogging from my tumblr, Mulberry Road. This interview with incarcerated writer Geneva Phillips was fascinating. And prior to seeing this, I didn’t know The Rumpus had a tumblr – The Rumblr. Here’s the excerpt I published: The Rumpus: When you think about your writing community, how would you describe it? Geneva Phillips: I… Continue reading

Living la vida local
(Photo- My daughter gave me the wooden lorikeets in that photo. She played with her band, The Burnt Sausages, on Spicks and Specks, at the end of the show! You can catch it on ABC iView, new season, episode 1!!) So I go early to the bank and queue for 15 minutes before it opens,… Continue reading

Rocketing rocket books, Batman
(I’ve decided it’s only good for a diary.) Yes, another 21st century toy. Though I think iterations of the Rocket Book have been around for a while (I’m thinking Smart Moleskines).

I’ve given… Continue reading

He could also have said this: “the shaving away, the expansion and compression,bandaging a piece so it will fit on the broadsheet.” My Irish Times subscription, alas, has lapsed.

finally, June and into July.
another little belated note to finish off June.I’m going to put a blogroll here the next time I get some blog time. It will be easier to visit people quickly. I am contemplating some enjoyable internet slowness in the future.But I do wish that the journals I subscribe to would support Pocket for their subscribers… Continue reading

Another #blogjune post.I had a lovely time on Wednesday night cutting and pasting about twenty Substack feeds into Newsblur, HAHAHA take that Substack!The emails were driving me bonkers – I like the Substack app and the reader, and I don’t need the emails at all. So most of them are no longer clogging up my… Continue reading
