September

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Hatboy

Day 65. 31 pages, 9,867 words. September is a bit of a weird month for me. Mainly, these days, because it reminds me of 2011. 2011, as Facebook’s “On This Day” feature hilariously reminds me, was a long series of unpleasant … Continue reading →

Meeting new people

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Hatboy

Yesterday, I was once again amused to find myself face-to-face with some people on Facebook who I’d never met, never heard of, and who clearly had no idea they would be meeting me either. The subject was “Australia Day”, which … Continue reading →

Posted on August 25, 2016 by Hatboy

It’s going to be another week or so before I get to go back onto my home computer for any sensible length of time, and that’s where all my stuff is. So I won’t be able to provide metrics, or … Continue reading →

Fifty First Shades of Grey

Posted on April 16, 2016 by Hatboy

Day 1. 20 pages, 5,870 words. The following lazy offering is brought to you by Facebook, where a bizarre fusion of Grammar Nazism, Adam Sandler movie critique, and Martha-esque coincidence of film titles resulted in this entertaining thread.  I had … Continue reading →

Day 20. 73 pages, 33,802 words. As promised, here are a few snaps from our Australia Day lamb barbecue last night. I may have gotten a little over-enthusiastic about it. Sorry about the picture quality, I know you demand the … Continue reading →

Posted on December 29, 2014 by Hatboy

The last few days have been great, despite my grumbling. It’s dropped to -15°C now and Wump has a bit of a cold, but the sledding has been fantastic. Yay! I even managed to assemble the machine despite the horrible … Continue reading →
