Time moves so fast!
I'm not sure that I've found this article and posted it previously. In fairness, we are starting to head towards the #500 jobs mark, so sometimes it is hard to keep track. Ok, it's very hard to track and we're [...]
Let me entertain you
I read something interesting recently. It was a small excerpt from a Masterclass conducted by the inestimable Margaret Atwood, writer of Handmaid’s Tale (amongst a plethora of other much loved gems). She was talking about choosing somewhere different to start [...]
One space or two?
Are you a one-spacer or a two? I have a confession to make. I usually put two spaces after a full stop (yep, I'm old enough that I learned to type on a typewriter) but I'm trying really, really, really [...]

Did I mention it’s a tad warm outside?
The internet at home (which is my office) is not working all that well today. I’m blaming the weather. (“Hotter than a hooker in a hostage situation” is how my weather app described the blistering conditions outside.) So although it [...]
Running Impostor here!
Before I start, let me assure you, this is not a pity post. Nor is it a post where I am fishing for compliments like a teenage girl (“No, really! You are so awesome, Tash! Like, so, so super awesome.”) [...]
What we’ve done in 3 years!
Happy Birthday to Us! Your Write is turning 3! And what a lot has happened in that short amount of time! For a start, there are the geographical practicalities. As the idea of Your Write took seed all that time ago, [...]
