For some people people that means sleeping late, shopping and hobbies (going out with friends counts as a hobby) or spending precious time with the family. Except some of us work shifts or weekends. Which makes it difficult to have regularly scheduled hobbies.

:: Writing Women – Welcome to Mslexia. The magazine for women who write. ::
:: Writing Women – Welcome to Mslexia. The magazine for women who write. ::.
Ladies (and gents – I can’t see how you shouldn’t find it interesting) if you’re a writer I highly recommend this magazine. I have been a subscriber for two years now and always find something in it to read. It’s published four times a year to an excellent standard. They are always looking for submissions from women writers. They have fiction and poetry competitions, and helpful information.
It’s never really finished
Procrastination by mobile
I realised something today: if my phone is on I can’t work.
Apology
For the really poor standard of music reviews at the minute. I’m so out of practice! I’m also feeling more than a bit off my game today. I’m coming down with another cold, the first for a long time. It’s making me a bit too woolly headed to really write properly. The other posts are pre-written – I write the review when I finish the book, and then copy and paste once I get to a WiFi connection.
I’ve managed to get all my other reviewing admin done today so I think I’ll probably go off line for a bit and have a nap, or possibly read the new issue of Mslexia that arrived just before I left home this morning
Have a good week everyone,

The changing face of CD packaging
And to continue the subject of music…
It’s probably not the most fascinating of subjects to most people but something caught my eye as I was contemplating my CD collection recently. I was sizing them up for new storage. This never used to be a problem because I hardly owned any music, but in the last couple of years I have collected rather a lot. During this operation I realised I might have a bit of a problem getting storage because standard CD racks are designed for one format of CD case and I had several different types. And that was when it hit me.

‘The Paleo Diet’: Latest fad based on bad science?
If there’s one thing I can’t stand its people who manipulate the ignorant with bad science for profit. If you are going to claim something make sure those claims stand up to rigorous investigation. This isn’t news to people who know me well but it might be to you, my dear readers.
I should probably give you a bit of background to the statement I just made, and probably the title of this little blog post. I don’t want any misunderstandings after all.

Progress report ‘Variations on a Theme’ short story collection
As I may have mentioned in a previous post, I’m working on a collection of short stories and have been for most of this year.
The collection came about because I wad on the train home from a concert last year and started writing ‘first line prompts’. I took one of these, two prompts from a Tumblr blog I follow, and a random picture I liked, and decided to see what I could do.

Children and writing
Evening all.
I’m exhausted from looking after my niece and nephew all day. I’ve tried to get my reading and a bit of writing done, but haven’t had much luck.
