Wendy’s Week of TV: Part 25 January 3, 2009

It’s been a strange old week of TV, given that I haven’t watched much of it yet again. But here were the highlights. The Cricket: I settled in for the absorbing contest of the Boxing Day Test. I’m slightly worried that one day I will be branded as un-Australian, because I actually like to see […]

An encouraging “no” January 2, 2009

Just received a very encouraging “no” to my Arrested Development paper that I had sent to The Velvet Light Trap. That’s okay. Until a week or so ago, I had actually forgotten I sent it.

My lovely horse December 16, 2008

Unfortunately it’s only a link as the clip didn’t allow embedding (except in another version on youtube which was of very poor quality). http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg (And apologies to my facebook friends for cross posting…but you can’t have too much of a […]
