Bloglovin, syndication, and the canonical URL issue.
Many bloggers use bloglovin as a way for their readers to follow them and see their content. When it was just an RSS aggregation service, this wasn’t a problem, and many bloggers have built up hundreds, or even thousands of followers on the service, and see a good amount of traffic from it. Right at…
The Dry blog tour
I just can’t understand how someone like him could do something like that. Amid the worst drought to ravage Australia in a century, it hasn’t rained in small country town Kiewarra for two years. Tensions in the community become unbearable when three members of the Hadler family are brutally murdered. Everyone thinks Luke Hadler, who…
Sketching.
I’ve a little moleskine book I’ve been drawing in for some time now. It’s easy to look back and see how much I’ve improved. Noses are still difficult, but I’m getting proportions of faces better I think. There’s starting to be expression in the eyes – or am I looking at it too hard? If…

{reading} The Dry, which I’ll be reviewing in January. Well, I’ll probably review it tomorrow actually, but I’ll be publishing the review as part of a blog tour in January 🙂 Quite impressed with myself – started it yesterday on the train beach from London, and have devoured it in a couple of extra sessions…

Learning to draw: my journey so far.
As I mentioned a while ago, (dear 15 year old me) I have spent most of my life convinced I couldn’t draw. When I took up photography a while back, I started seeing things differently. And then I started drawing. To begin with, I wasn’t quite sure what to do, or what I was interested…
A day in pictures (snippets of Saturday)
As I’ve mentioned on twitter, I’m going through a low period at the moment. I’ve stepped back from social media a little because it doesn’t help to see all the things happening that I’m too far out of the loop to take part in. Yesterday though, I tried something a little different to help myself…
How does your garden grow?
Colourfully. I planted irises last year to grow myself a new header. They bloomed partly when we were away, so I didn’t get the pictures I wanted. This year the single blue one has flowered in the rain. It’s beautiful. But not quite what I want looking for in a header. Hm. I could use…

{celebrating} Tigerboy being 4. He likes it 🙂 Odd feeling to know that the youngest is getting older and there will be no more – birthdays are milestones for more than just the child concerned I find. {Also celebrating} Smallest and her second missing tooth, and her learner of the year trophy from swimclub. (The…
