Do you ever have those days when everything goes wrong in the inanimate world? This has been happening to me for a while now. First my television stopped working, then my computer. That was much more of a catastrophe than the TV but thankfully I have a laptop and I’ve managed to link up the internet to it. But it’s so irritating because I don’t have all my links and favourites and other bits and pieces.

Then there’s been the Great Jewlery Disaster. I keep loosing jewlery. I scatter it all over the place as if wanting to leave a trail. Hmm… there might be something in that. First it was earrings which eventually I found in the car, but then tragically it was a beautiful silver spiral medallion that slipped off the chain around my neck. Then I was having my hair cut and managed to drop another earring on the floor to have it swept up among the cut hair. But at least I got it back. And another earring that I’ve only recently bought had a little glittery bit fall off it.

But I’m reading a lot and working my way back to writing after a break. I’ve just finished George P Pelecano’s Right as Rain which is a gritty crime novel set in Washington DC (good depiction of complex race relations) and Keri Arthur’s Tempting Evil (unputdownable - sexy paranormal set in Melbourne). Now finally reading Phillip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint.

But I want to start writing some more short stories again.
