  • DIY and the Gemini Moon

    So there I was trying to fix the garage door- it had blown open in the wind. But where was the masking tape? The string? Duct tape even? Our garage is a pig sty (naturally I blame my husband…) so I couldn’t find any occy straps (sorry, octopus straps). Hence the masking tape- which I’m…

    Each month my writers group meets. Over coffee we share stories of pitching success, frustration over black hole syndrome, compare notes about editors who respond quickly, editors who respond slowly and editors who quite simply don’t respond. We share ideas, tips and support. Today we covered everything from writing for magazines to novels to copywriting to…

  • Your Career & the Cosmos: Same Same…But Different

    Connecting the dots…my latest post for Your Career & the Cosmos can be found here.

  • Opportunities

    I’ll keep this short as I’m catching up on last weeks television when I should be catching up on the sleep I didn’t get last night on the overnight flight from Bali. Unfortunately, I have never seemed to learn how to sleep on an overnight flight. I admire those who do- a mate of mine…

    There is a point in time when a nasty case of the “untils” and “whens” turn into a more potentially chronic, and infinitely more dangerous, case of the “why me’s” or more accurately, the “why not me’s.” You know the thing- “I can’t do x until….”, “I will do y when…” and then you see…

    I’ve been out all day at a pre-Christmas work thing of my husbands’ and am feeling a tad on the seedy side, so will make this one short. Uranus is now direct, and Mercury will be so in a couple of days The Moon is in the last degree of Gemini and about to move…

  • Total Eclipse…and all that…

    As I write this, I have half an eye on a piece of pork belly that I am attempting to blister the crackling on before pouring milk into the pan to cook it slowly. Scented with sage, the milk will tenderise the meat so it should melt off the fork. I’m serving it with thyme…

  • War of the Words: Lunas Geminisis

    I am seriously considering giving up on on-line scrabble and words with friends and all those other app based games that allow words that would never have been allowed on a scrabble board on Xmas Day at the Lions Den. It isn’t that I have been playing for long- just since last Friday while waiting…

  • Message in a Bottle

      Put a message in a bottle. Seal the lid and send it out to sea. Or set free a helium balloon with a note tied to the tail. Or just sit still, in a quiet room, and transmit your thoughts into the ether. You need, if you will forgive this lapse into hippie-speak, to…

    Mars in Gemini 21/6/11 Shane Warne has his Mars in Sagittarius, which I am sure no one except me really cares about (probably not even him). And why do I care about this? Because, I was absolutely convinced that if anyone had Mars in Gemini it would be Shane Warne- with all that texting that…
