Yep, that's how I used to light my mum's cigs for her.

The frost has hit so have harvested almost everything that was left. Making marinara sauce with the red tomatoes and mincemeat with the remaining apples and green tomatoes.

Am officially sick of canning. My garden's abundance this year was insane. I never want to see a cucumber again.

Until Eternity’s End: New Short Story Published
My husband is a true crime aficionado. Me? Not so much. The faces of the endless procession of murdered women and girls linger in my mind, though their names are far too numerous for me to remember…

Gorbals 1964, and a group of boys play in the street as Oscar Marzaroli takes aim with his lens. The young lad on the left appears to be returning fire. #Glasgow

Some of you may not have seen my weird little postcards
A corpse sits in an alcove next to an ancient highway.A glowing sword in the middle of a junkyard.A rest stop with a huge neon sign reading "Gas" stands atop a cliff bathed in fiery light of uncertain origin.A small home, perhaps a trailer, sits on the horizon, a ghost of an overpass hanging above it. The sky is heavily overcast.

It's very unfair that I have to miss Wimbledon and the Tour de France in order to go to work so I can make money to pay my bills. Putting in an official complaint.

Wouldn't normally be pulling for England but am subbing in for my late father, whose very ashes are furious he's missing this.

the Cape Verde national anthem is quite lovely. With dignity, bury the seed In the dust of the naked island At the escarpment of life Hope is As big as the sea Which embraces us Sentinel of the oceans and winds Persevering Between the stars And the Atlantic Intone the Chant of Freedom.
