Brighton UK the English heatwave was only 28C
Yes it has been hot today – about 38C (100F for the peeps who are not metric). This morning it was nice and relaxing, sitting at the Uni cafe, marking and reading assignments. Then I wandered inside to our regular three weekly PhD reading group. That was enjoyable as always. A coffee afterwards and a non-academic chat went well also. This was followed by a 30 minute chat with a good student over her assignments and career directions.
Then I went outside and was hit with the very dry heat of an Adelaidian afternoon in summer. Walking through the stands of big river red gums and other native bush to get to my air conditioned car I was surrounded by the heady aromas of eucalypt and flowering bottle brush, some wattle and melaleuca flowers as well. Makes one happy to be is such beautiful surroundings.
Have a fun weekend – I intend to.

Thank you for your positive comment. I appreciate it.
Writing is a very personal activity. The longer you stare at a blank page, the longer the page will be blank. Just start writing, even if it is gibberish. Your writing ‘voice’ will come through with editing and re-writing. Like all skills, the more you do it the better you become. Keep in-touch and let me know how your progress, I am interested.

First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if
you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to
15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how
to begin. Any ideas or tips? Appreciate it!
