Finally finished Witches Abroad, my brain just wouldn't get into the story but it finally did around the waterfall and I think I rather enjoyed it.

'Cause what goes around comes around What goes up must come down Now who's crying, desiring to come back to me? youtu.be/EUMC_raxpSc

Post you from a different era Maybe 2004 at our end of year dinner for belly dance.

The cool breeze has stilled but the warmth remains. Can someone bring me a fruju or something before I have a wicked witch moment

After being too busy and then too brain dead after the busy to write for the last few days I've managed 3754 words this morning. Quite pleased with that. And in rewriting Babypire from scratch she's evolved from a 20 year old to a perimenopausal woman and that makes it even more perfect!

Thanks to conversations I've had this week I'm thinking of marathoning 90s Shakespeare adaptions that I loved. A Midsummer Night's Dream Much Ado About Nothing 10 Things I Hate About You Romeo & Juliet What others would you suggest, if any?

I keep seeing these amazing book scenes to put on your bookshelves to fill the space. There was an amazing witchy one I wanted. But I have one question... How do people have empty space on their bookshelves?

A reminder that is totally okay to step away from social media for a break. It's okay to block and mute accounts, to mute words and topics. This is your safe space and it needs to work for you mental health.

And more bangs have just started. Sigh.

Some of these streets seem like weird choices... www.stuff.co.nz/home-propert...

I think I have overcome virtually every hurdle and problem the universe has thrown at me this week. I deserve cake. Or lemon meringue pie.

Finished "A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking" by T Kingfisher this morning. A very good read, with scary topics for the current climate.

Oh no Oh no Oh no The cicadas have started. *cries in easily overstimulated by the wrong kinds of sounds*

Remembered a flash of my dream. There were bad people in power. Everyone was arguing about what to do and I got annoyed at all the noise so I screamed for everyone to shut up and in a very exasperated voice went. "Fine, I'll deal with it but someone needs to teach me how to use my throwing knives."

The vibe we're grooving to today youtu.be/52iW3lcpK5M

I hope something wonderful happens to you today 💜

It's nearly 11... why do you need to waste money doing bang bangs?

One might guess from 15 posts in a row that there was an earthquake in Wellington

I just got compared to Jennifer Connelly, in that I have the same kind of presence she had. Sweet and sincere, but also sultry and sensual. I'll be living on the compliment for months. Probably years. I have been in love with that woman since, like, 86.

The countdown to sign-ups for #SecretSantaAoNZ is on! Will you be a day one signer-upper?

Halloween has been. Time for the first watch of White Christmas.

Felt cute

Tide was well out, but a nice day for lunch by the water at Ahuriri.

After much frustration with my wordpress site, I'm contemplating whether something like Squarspace would be a better option for my website, selling my books direct and any future courses.

Watching Hackers with it up way too loud to try to mask all the bangs for Reilly. And me.

Only a few minutes left as a poor struggling artist. Shortly I'll be a rich struggling artist.

Have some feel good music youtu.be/7TVWqykzibc

Unclench your jaw Drop those shoulders Sit up straight Shake your body Shake Shake (Shake, Senora) Go get a drink You got this Luv you

Oh, how I want this to happen. I may have to watch The Mummy again. It's been weeks... variety.com/2025/film/ne...

To explain the explainer for those who do want to connect (you don't have to). As an example to follow my Masto (which is basically just crossposts of a few posts from here)... you'd follow @ap.brid.gy & @witchnwords.mastodon.nz.ap.brid.gy And boom those posts would show here. Simple as.

Upping for the #SecretSantaAoNZ morning crew

I dreamed something last night and on waking thought, "Oh, that's good, I should write it down in the morning and use it in a book." So, of course, I no longer remember what it was at all and made no notes.

Hello bluesky peeps! #secretsantaaonz

We set up #SecretSantaAoNZ to spread smiles and fun. We know that times change but our purpose doesn’t. If times are tough — which under this government is NO SURPRISE — please still be a part of this. We have options that you can sign up to & a lot of peeps happy to be Secret Santas! 🎁 🧑‍🎄 🎄🙌

For example to follow my Masto (which is basically just crossposts of a few posts from here)... you'd follow @ap.brid.gy & @witchnwords.mastodon.nz.ap.brid.gy And boom those posts would show here

If your Giftee is on Mastodon, then nothing much looks different, you'll still see their posts in the feed, their address in DMs and the app, you'll still be able to sleuth and find the perfect gift, just a bit of a weird handle. Though the My Giftee feed will help:

Introducing K to Kiss the Girls.

Blackmilk are rude for releasing their Christmas collection when I am but a poor writer.

Do I watch V for Vendetta tomorrow or will it be even more traumatising than it was last year?

It's not often that a post from Winnie crosses the timeline and it actually pleases me... but here we are

Wow, been a long while since I had to block someone for crossing the creepy line.

Gods, the difference between the PMDD and day 1 when you're dealing with patch issues is insane...

Wow, it's 7 years since I went to my last Very Vintage Day Out.

Just a reminder that SIGN UPs for #SecretSantaAoNZ start on the 10th of November, which is SIX DAYS FROM TODAY!! Spread the word so that peeps don’t miss out! God only knows we need a bit of joy & fun in our lives right now! 🎄🎁🙌

Hey Napier Free bacon butties at New World Greenmeadows while they last.

I love being blonde But damn am I missing being dark and being able to pull off a good red lip better.

Seeing #SecretSantaAoNZ already coming to life and so many people so excited for this already is just making my day.
