I have just written quite a hard scene; an important one. It’s been brewing and building for a while now, when Kathryn finally finds out about Louis’ infidelity, and Louis finds it impossible to explain to her that it really…

09:27 Thanks! What I find curious is how the pictures of Orion and Pleiades are pin-point sharp, but the one of Jupiter shows… j.mp/hYQc6O # Automatically bleated by LoudTwitter

I’ve had a nice day even if much of the morning was spent on my knees in the garden fondling rabbit and chicken poo from the recycling bin in the fruitless hope of finding my amber pendant. After I finished…

18:17 is very distraught. I’ve lost the amber stone from the amber pendant I bought in Tallinn in 2003. 🙁 # 18:42 That’s true what you say about the reader not being entirely sympathetic towards Tom Lynn but still rooting…

Inspired by the recent Stargazing Live on BBC2 this week, I have taken my camera on a first foray into the garden, on the first clear night to take pictures of the stars. The following were all taken at f5.6…

I have a reached the point in Part Two of Mr Tumnal where Kathryn is finding out more about Louis. Bothered by his alleged double life she has been doing some digging only to reveal more questions than she asked…

It’s always good to get feedback on one’s words. Tonight’s from came hot on the heels of me going through the first 180 pages addressing the confusion of the Louis’/Lewis’ (having coloured them different colours), I discovered that they were…

12:28 : the best laid plans… a Beduin tribe decided to move into one of @dhofarproject’s best rockshelters. The nerve! bit.ly/ehGr4o # Automatically bleated by LoudTwitter

~ Had a productive day setting up a repository page for some of the departmental videos. Now I just have to replicate this across the other three departments… ~ And so the Christmas decorations come down with the ‘felling’ of…

15:32 has been listening to #thearchers at 60 archive repeats; finishing with a 2nd play of Sunday’s episode. More emotional than before #sattc # 21:01 wonder what it is with 2011, that we have someone from the art community dying…

My novel has been sitting on my conscience although the Christmas period. I’ve been a bit stuck you see, because I got to the point where Kathryn had already made a choice to ask Beth about Louis but in my…

21:00 has noticed that the BBC #stargazing weather forecast which doesn’t say anything about the snow that’s shown falling over the country! # Automatically bleated by LoudTwitter

It was a rude awakening this morning when the alarm went off at 6am. It was dark, and early, and just not right. Get up, I did, though and I’ve had a productive day back at work, but it does…

10:44 RT: @r4today: Liking #TheArchers is “a bit like having a third nipple” says @DAaronovitch bbc.in/huRuYu #sattc # 12:12 I think the biggest cop-out of this episode was that both Helen and Henry are both absolutely fine. Surely, given the……

I’ve been reading volume two of Nigel Slater’s Tender; delicious writing about delicious food… Many a tree will fruit within a year or two of planting, and they are suited to a domestic garden – some take barely more space…

After Emma’s epic weekend of 15 hours overtime, today was always going to be, and had to be, a quieter day. Sadly this meant that we couldn’t go to Grannie’s new year bash. But we’ve had a nice day, of…
