Heading off to ring bells along with 255 other bands around the globe as part of the BBC’s World Music Day.

Being so involved in writing I nearly forgot my 600th podcast!

Preparing the way for a writers’ cave – in my burrow.

After working out a detailed plan for the week yesterday I find myself indulging myself on this public holiday and reading Heather Rose’s The Museum of Modern Love.

Lured into the dawn by sirens (and crows).

And the out take!

Forgiving myself for being lured into temptation.

Enjoying the birds and the bush and the sun on my face, and then I have a strange encounter.

Feeling enthused after participating in one of Sarah Selecky’s Live Practice sessions, and preparing myself for an evening at the Writing Cave.

Readjusting myself to being plugged in again and realising I can’t quite do what I’d planned.

The weather is guiding my activities, be they writing, pruning or napping in the sun.
