Something that makes my heart happy is lying in bed at night, in the dark, and listening to my little cats squeaky snores and contented sighs.

If there were no barriers or obstacles (work, money, time, health) and you could follow your heart in the best way that you feel you could most help others, animals or the environment... what would you want to do?
Hooray its the weekend! I have a lurgy in my lungs, coughing and spluttering like a 2 stroke lawn mower from the 80's with a dodgy spark plug. I do know what would help me feel better though... if someone read one (or more) of my books! 😂

@JoeGroove@chaos.social they really are bizarre hey! Sometimes I kind of snap into lucidity and realise I'm dreaming, but then I'll wake up. I don't think I've ever needed to jump in a dream, but now I'm curious. I can never shout or scream in a dream though. It comes out like a whisper.
Stephen King, who I believe is one of the best writers of our age, has 87 books banned. To all of my fellow authors, have YOU written a book that you thought could ever be banned? Which one was it, and why? Let's get to reading them!
I'm watching the movie 'Warm Bodies' again, and have kind of realised how succinct an analogy it is for life in the modern world. I also think the 'Cure' is something that could solve a lot of the issues modern society has today. Great film. Give it a watch 🫶
Andrew Millison's YT channel is a brilliant exploration of what can happen when we stop outsourcing our needs and waiting for others to take action. It's about communities coming together, healing the land and providing for each other.
To my fellow writerly friends... do you keep a notebook beside the bed to jot down ideas you have in the middle of the night? If so, what is the strangest or most nonsensical thing you've ever had to read back to yourself in the morning? 😅
If you could go back in time and change one thing... what would it be?
The Rebels Guide... the adventure of a millennia... the love of a lifetime.
Available in ebook and paperback
For those who don't like shopping at the 'Other Place', here's all the awesome places you can find my eBooks...
Friday night was Youth Group night for the teenagers in our little country town. This meant makeshift soccer games by the church, torchlit 'chalk chases' around town after dark, and bonfires in the paddock next to our house. It was good fun and I miss those days.
When is a time your intuition saved you? A month ago I had planned to get groceries in the afternoon on the weekend. At 11am I thought, no I have to go right now. Rushed into the car and went to the shops. On the way home there was a bad car accident on the way I'd come. I'd just missed it & the road was closed and traffic backed up for hours.

I think if I sighed as much as would be required to express my current disposition I would hyperventilate and possibly expire.
Some Mondays are not Fundays.
I had to sit quietly for a long while after watching this...
What are we doing?
Soooo... 4.7M at Campi Flegrei?
I hope everyone is okay 💚 scary stuff.
