• I’m Blogging Again

  By RachelUndefined on June 13, 2019 • ( 0 )

  Hey all. I’m finally back after my long absence. The last time you all heard from me, I was getting ready for my flight to Adelaide. I had intended to post before now, but every time I planned time to… Read More ›

• Only a few more hours

  By RachelUndefined on October 29, 2018 • ( 0 )

  Well, we’re all packed, ready to go. Well, mostly. I still have a couple of loads of clothes to go through the dryer before I can pack them. I’m going to have to shove them in Storm’s bag, as he’s… Read More ›

• Top Ten Will Smith Movies

  By RachelUndefined on October 23, 2018 • ( 0 )

  

  From the moment I first saw him perform in the nineties sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, I have been a huge fan of Will Smith’s acting.

• Beyond 2000

  By RachelUndefined on October 22, 2018 • ( 0 )

  I was born in 1977, placing me right on the generational cusp. I don’t quite fit in with the Gen-X-ers, but nor am I entirely comfortable with the Millenials. Whether it’s cultural references, technology, or social issues, I seem to… Read More ›

• Prince Harry Visited my Daughter’s School

  By RachelUndefined on October 19, 2018 • ( 0 )

  I was going to resume normal blogging last Friday, but for various reasons that has had to be postponed until this coming Monday. Meanwhile, though, my daughter got to see Prince Harry today when he and Meghan paid an unexpected… Read More ›

• Blog Updated

  By RachelUndefined on October 10, 2018 • ( 0 )

  I felt like my blog was looking a little dated, so I gave it a makeover. I decided to keep the name, but I completely revamped the entire look to (hopefully) make it more relevant.

• Should I rename this blog?

  By RachelUndefined on October 8, 2018 • ( 0 )

  Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’m updating the sidebar today and tomorrow, then normal blogging will resume on Friday. I’m also considering changing the theme, and possibly the name. Opinions?

• Father’s Day

  By RachelUndefined on September 4, 2018 • ( 0 )

  For those living in Australia, September 2nd was Father’s Day. We didn’t do much this year, what with moving costs on the horizon and being a bit short of cash. Earth was given control of the television for the day,… Read More ›

• Top Ten Phrases My Grandparents Said

  By RachelUndefined on August 28, 2018 • ( 0 )

  I’m feeling a bit nostalgic this week, so here are the top ten phrases my grandparents used to say quite regularly, listed from ten to one:

• British Food?

  By RachelUndefined on August 28, 2018 • ( 3 )

  I have recently developed an interest in trying as many traditional and regional British dishes as I can. I don’t know why — there was no specific incident or trigger for this interest. I simply, all of a sudden, desired… Read More ›

• Top Ten Harry Potter Movie Villains

  By RachelUndefined on August 14, 2018 • ( 0 )

  

  Warning: May contain spoilers. The Harry Potter books and movies feature a wide range of interesting characters, creatures, and even sentient objects. Some are good, others not so much. While many of the good guys are enjoyably quirky, it is… Read More ›

• Intermittent, then Non-existent Posts

  By RachelUndefined on August 13, 2018 • ( 0 )

  I haven’t been posting a lot, lately. At first, I tried to post intermittently, around recurring illnesses and preparations for my move. The reason I haven’t been posting at all over the past few weeks, though, is a simple one…. Read More ›

• Cowards All

  By RachelUndefined on July 23, 2018 • ( 0 )

  Note added 28/11/2020: Yes, I did believe this at one point in my life. I was going through a lot in my life (which I have no intention of posting here, so don’t bother asking) and I was in a very dark place. It was a very brief interlude in my life of maybe a few years where I hated everyone and everything, myself most of all. I didn’t believe this before that time, and I don’t believe it now. However, I am not going to delete this post as I believe in owning my mistakes as well as my successes.

• HP/Z-Nation Recs?

  By RachelUndefined on July 9, 2018 • ( 0 )

  First, let me begin by apologising for the lack of Top Ten Tuesday and Fiction Friday last week. My internet was too intermittent for lengthy blog posts, and I had neither the time, nor the inclination to catch the bus… Read More ›

• Anything Night Tonight

  By RachelUndefined on July 2, 2018 • ( 0 )

  Do you ever have an ‘Anything Night’? Perhaps to use up leftovers, clear out your cupboards, or simply because you can’t be arsed cooking? We don’t have them very often because I generally have a weekly meal plan posted on… Read More ›

• Laying Low

  By RachelUndefined on June 29, 2018 • ( 0 )

  Mama’s face lit up when she spied me through the old screen door. “Well hello there, Sugar.” She said. “Ain’t you a sight for sore eyes.” “Hello Mama.” I replied. “May I come in?”

• Top Ten Twitter Writing Events

  By RachelUndefined on June 26, 2018 • ( 0 )

  Twitter has many uses and there is something there for almost any interest. It’s a great way to communicate and connect with people with like-minded interests all around the world. I personally have many interests, and I follow a wide… Read More ›

• Chopsticks

  By RachelUndefined on June 25, 2018 • ( 0 )

  I learned to use chopsticks when I was a kid. My Dad was the entrepreneurial type, always starting new businesses, always swearing that ‘this was the one’. We had periods when I was very young when we didn’t have a… Read More ›

• Tally

  By RachelUndefined on June 22, 2018 • ( 3 )

  He was short. That’s what caught my attention. I’m a fairly average height, but he barely reached my shoulders. Otherwise, the guy was unremarkable. Dark hair, blue eyes, handsome but not gorgeous — if not for his height, few would… Read More ›

• Creating a Bucket List

  By RachelUndefined on June 18, 2018 • ( 2 )

  In January of this year (2018), I finally got around to creating a bucket list. A bucket list is a list of experiences and achievements that you hope will happen within your lifetime. These lists are nothing new, but they… Read More ›

• Blood

  By RachelUndefined on June 15, 2018 • ( 0 )

  Hushed whispers and tugging hands startled me awake. My fuzzy mind, still groggy from sleep, struggled to make sense of my surroundings as I was roughly dragged down smooth stone stairs towards a cold steel cell. I felt something wet… Read More ›
