Of Libraries and Linseed Oil

Today seems to be a day of relearning old skills, so the house smells of linseed oil and I spent much of the day in the library in town. It has been a while since I went into a library, I sometimes forget how much of a book person I am, I don’t care how … Read More


Do you speak my language?

I feel like I should say a big thankyou to Dad for this one. I know more Aussie slang than British apparently… On the subject of language, quite seriously I don’t think that it’s actually possible to entirely communicate with another person.

Job Hunting

I had forgotten quite how depressing it is to hunt for jobs. Wandering around town and leaving my CV everywhere is really only exceeding in depressingness by sending off applications into that void that is the internet. What I really want is some quiet little secretarial or office job, just something where I type up … Read More
