I was going to post yesterday
I’m still easing into writing mode, I suppose, and I want to work out a healthier pace than I have been going at. Madeira is such a pretty island, and the weather is starting to warm up again. Actually, the winter is very mild, but this year it’s rained quite a lot. Summer can be…

Happy New Year!
Also, it’s January, the worst month, traditionally. I don’t think we have many New Year’s traditions besides drinking some champagne and eating some nibbles. Obviously, watching the fireworks. The fireworks are pretty Amazing in Madeira, so I think everyone does. I think we might have had one of the best views on the island. There…

Writers living in hotels
Ello, I get to have some rest, and I very much want to. I’m not good in cars, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before? I get carsick and I’ve had too many long drives for now. It kind of wipes me out for a bit. I’m going to have a swim and reattempt…

I couldn’t write a thing last night
Me and the child were out until past dark yesterday. We got to see a few houses and went to the playground. All going well, I should have a place secured in a few hours. A pinch later if there are any banking issues. I don’t want to say yet, because I’m paranoid about jinxing…

New Neighbors soon?

Putting a roof over my head
I have a temporary roof, which is nice, but I’m running out of roof of the 14th of this month, which is very soon. Luckily, my distant husband will have more time to help me find a place after tomorrow. He should be going to stay with his dad for a while. It’s also my…

Planning an expedition
Well, a walk. This evening when it’s nice and cool, I’ll go out and explore. Low tide is in the evening, so while I’m excited to go out, I’ll take it slow today. I need to find a food shop too, but fortunately I’ve brought the entire contents of my kitchen with me. The pillows…

New house (kinda)
I am now in an adorable little… it’s like a really smart hut. It’s lovely, but very small. Not long term, of course. When we arrived I saw the beach and this huge sharp cliff, it looked like a whole flat side of it fell into the ocean once. The taxi driver told me that…
