Hi, I'm Elle. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm the mother of two young adults, the wife of an entrepreneurial gamer and the Queen of Unfinished Projects. This blog will contain poems, short stories, possibly photos and book reviews if you're lucky, and my thoughts on a variety of topics. Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for the update and best wishes on the new phase you're heading for.
Just in case, one thing to note when your membership drops to the free membership: WDC will leave 10 items in your port viewable, and only ten. The others are not deleted, but no one can see those, just the ten. Also, those are generally just the ten oldest items. You don't get to pick. If you have ten you'd really like for folks to see (and remember you by), you would have to delete all but those ten. (At least this is what I remember that happens.)
Gosh when you update, you really update! Now I have added bullet journaling to check out. Your could easily reach 200 books by the end of the year. Fabulous!
I have heard so much about you! I totally understand the staying away and the ADHD. It is wonderful I was able to read this update. Perhaps a monthly update, just a brief few words, will keep you marginally connected. Ambitious reading list. Take care.
Always let the compliments spill forth... they have a way of making others smile and, as in this case, starts their day off with a heartsmile (which I really needed!) And to be mentioned alongside of a poet I revere in Kåre เลียม Enga - WOW!
Sorry Brian, I just realised one of my sentences has a typo that makes it tricky to understand. It should have said:
While most of them are undiagnosed, one of my husband's cousins is diagnosed.
I was walking my new dog (a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Sir Alan Budsworth, or Buddy for short) through the inner city parks, thinking about Kåre เลียม Enga and Fyn, and the way they can make such amazing poetry out of simple, everyday observations, and this poem started percolating in my mind. It's been about a week, but I finally wrote it down. It's very much a first draft, but still... The first creative thing I've written in months.
I was full to the brim with compliments today.
For the young lady working at the fried chicken counter,
whose shorn hair was the perfect foil for
her laughing almond eyes and quick grin.
For the gentleman who dared to wear
a fedora with his three-piece business suit.
For the wahine who reminded me that
sequins are neutrals.
For the woman whose bright pink sneakers were
the perfect accessory to her pale pink kurta.
I was full to the brim with compliments today.
But I didn’t let a single one spill out.
