Let’s start with jonquils. I bought them on Saturday, after escaping from the house to do the grocery shopping – a chore I loathe, but hey I got to go alone. Forty-five minutes away from sickness (Adam is crook now), trying to ignore the sore, heavy feeling in my arms, that insatiable hunger that comes…
I get the same look on my face as hers when Melbourne turns on a fine Saturday like today is turning out to be. Enjoy! x

I officially finished up at the Emerging Writers’ Festival yesterday. I wrote about how I feel about that over on their blog, so if you’d like to pop over, by all means. I’ll wait here until you get back. Anyway, so in the weeks leading up to my departure I kept getting asked if I…
