View from the Cafe Window Felt pens on A6 The simplicity of creating, whether it's "good" or "bad," is the important part of the process. I post my rubbish drawings here like I'm a kid having his art put on the fridge door and mum and dad saying encouraging things. Celebrate being human.

Black Mountain Tower (Telstra Tower) Canberra Felt pens on A6 Every Year 6 kid in Sydney has visited here on their way to the Snowy Mountains. I did, last century. Probably photographic proof at mum and dad's in some photo album. #TheDrumAndPage #ContinuousLineDrawing #Year6SnowyExcursion

Choice is good and all but sometimes you don't want choice. My future bakery will sell one sweet item, a lamington, & one savoury item, a sausage roll. The lamington will be proper size (gigantic) &the sausage roll will be footlong (sauce will be free). I need a name for the bakery. Any suggestions?

This nifty zine is from @sarahleawest.art and is a beautiful prayer for those who experience chronic pain or illness. It is quite moving to read and to sit with this prayer. #TheDrumAndPage #SarahleaWestArt #Zine

Today's ParkRun effort is brought to you by the existential question of "How many breaths will I have exhausted from my allocated amount by doing this physical activity in the hope of elongating my length of days on the earth (God willing)" and the letter "M". #TheDrumAndPage #ParkRun

Writing a new flash/short story & I referenced Cannibal Corpse's record Gallery of Suicide. I am not a horror writer but the artwork was the perfect metaphor to convey chronic nerve pain. Will suit as an anecdote for the panel I am on in Sept about music &writing events.humanitix.com/industry-pan...

Industry Panel | Music, Man

Music, Man brings together a group of male writers for a lively conversation about the music that has shaped their lives and creative practices.

I was thinking that for my funeral (whenever that happens, God willing), bury me in one of my favourite band t-shirts. Everyone will have to wear their favourite band t-shirt too.

There is a current issue in New South Wales of a diocese wanting to reduce the role of teacher librarians across their schools. The outcry has been vocal. Why is it the arts get cut first? Try & cut a sports program & every shock jock would be knotting their knickers on air. Now do it for the arts.

Lilium A new addition to the flower shop for @helenperrismusic (in purple, of course). This is the 10th addition (and there's more to come. Some are requests, others are my own choices). The lilies remind me of starfish. #TheDrumAndPage #FlowerArt

In a little over a month I have a new story appearing in the latest @writtenoff.club journal, edited by @msparisrose I was very humbled to receive this feedback on the acceptance of my work. Seeing the calibre of writers included in this edition, I am in awe, & TBH, a little overwhelmed.

Hibiscus In Yellow For @kris_erskine Today in the flower shop, yellow hibiscus are up for grabs. Sorry for the later post as it was parent teacher night. But you get a bonus behind-the-scenes shot of my table between interviews. Thanks to those who suggested flowers; they are on the list.

Frangipanis on Friday For @oormila_paintings Truth be told, I started this for giggles and now I'm looking forward to it, to the tiny art audience who like their flowers. Came and pick a bunch to take home. For those who gave me a flower idea, it's on the list. #TheDrumAndPage #FlowerArt

This too, is hope, even if delayed. I've been waiting for weeks for this spike to open up and I wasn't sure if it was ever going to. #TheDrumAndPage

Why can't the intrusive thoughts be helpful and positive instead of having to reply with "Can't park there, mate."

This too, is hope, delayed and deferred as it is. My magnolia tree tends to flower about two months after everyone else. #TheDrumAndPage

Unbeknownst to me, a short story idea I have requires me to be familiar with the process of how newspaper paper is made. Pass me my helmet and head torch; we're going down rabbit holes all for the sake of three lines of text in a story. #WritingLife
