Writer’s block overWriter’s block over

December 28, 2022 Tina 4 Comments

Obviously the writing gods must know I’ve been a bit lax about working on my novel lately. Who would have thought there’d be an actual crime scene out the front of my house on Christmas Eve, followed by a medical emergency on the train to Yamba. Writer’s block over. We

November 10, 2022 Tina 2 Comments

Remember back at start of the FOT, I was on a reconnaissance mission. I had a year’s head start on my friend Jane in the “what do we do with our lives once the kids finish school” game. Well, today is the day. Jane has finished high school for the

50 ways to leave your lover… or your job.50 ways to leave your lover… or your job.

November 2, 2022 Tina 0 Comments

I must admit, I’ve become somewhat of an expert at dropping the microphone. I probably have done it in 50 ways. But in the last few years, even I have taken things to the next level. I still rate this conversation last year as my best: Tina to Engineer: Hey,

Thwarted yet againThwarted yet again

August 17, 2022 Tina 5 Comments

I came back home from the USA with a spring in my step, ready to restart my writing career and continue with my fitness regime. I should have just laid on the lounge and waited for the feelings to pass. While I was in Nashville and Cincinnati, I was going

Husband – comma – 6Husband – comma – 6

July 22, 2022 Tina 0 Comments

Last night I met an Existentialist in a bar. Really. What are the chances? Could this be Husband, 6? Spoiler alert – it’s a ‘no’ from me. But I have made a new List. Now I’m just asking for a friend of course. What is an existentialist? Well, duh, it

I really am having a gap year. The amount of lost underwear is extraordinary. Just this week I lost more of it in Atlanta. And it even comes with a decent dose of embarrassment too. Rewind a few days and I returned to Atlanta after a hair-raising drive to Alabama

You know it’s a signYou know it’s a sign

July 6, 2022 Tina 0 Comments

You know it’s a sign when you’re in the airport queue and you see someone you really, really like but haven’t seen for 20 years. Nearly 30 years ago I had the best job ever. I was part of the team that set up Police TV, an internal television network

The art of PIEThe art of PIE

April 24, 2022 Tina 0 Comments

It’s amazing how close humans are to a riot at all times. It only takes one PIE (Pusher-In-Erer) to cause an orderly group of airport queuers to lose their shit. The hardest part of the whole overseas trip was, you guessed it, getting home. Combine the two most anally retentive

Lost and foundLost and found

April 17, 2022 Tina 2 Comments

The Festival of Tina is not like a typical Australian 18 year old’s gap year, where you leave a trail of destruction across the globe. I’m more mature than that. Instead I’ve left a trail of stuff around the world. In fact I’ve lost so many things I can’t actually

Danger of morte and merdeDanger of morte and merde

March 13, 2022 Tina 4 Comments

The two main dangers in France are death… and stepping in dog shit. I’ve been living here in Villefranche-sur-Mer for nearly two weeks now and I’m shocked that I am still alive. I’m even more shocked that my shoes are clean. It’s time for a short French lesson. It is
