I interrupt this blogging hiatus to announce … er, a blogging hiatus. Life. Which, really means the Spanish electrical company Endesa. If I ever get them sorted, I shall chronicle their antics here. For those of you interested in more on the Gib/Spain Brexit issue (yes, you Col) there are draft posts, but no time […]Read Post ›
Here is what I get when I log in. I’m waiting for the happiness chappies to enlighten me. So, no comments from me for now. Although I can log in to mine. Another improvement. Presumably.
Partner picked up an interesting chair. Not as good as my find, but solid and quite nice. Struck me as slightly frenchified, Louis whateverish. Meanwhile my prize mirror find was taken back to the finca and plonked on the top of drawers where it makes a rather good match. Our Gib neighbour has an extremely […]Read Post ›
I’ll be honest. I could not provide a reasonable beta read for free. There is no incentive to ploughing through something, analysing it, and compiling a coherent report, for nothing. To some authors, paid for beta reads are anathema. No one should have to pay for a beta read goes the thinking. But if you […]Read Post ›
In betwixt a heavy bout of editing, I have read a few books. While I normally review books by indie authors, or new unknown ones, I thought I’d look at some number one bestsellers. Because, if they aren’t indie published, they all seem to be number one bestsellers. All books courtesy of my neighbour who […]Read Post ›
‘Hello’ I said, as the mobile rang. It was clearly Partner asking me whether I wanted two or three potatoes. Yes, I had sent him shopping again. There was just a loud burble. Or babble to be more precise. I see. In a bar. I turned it off. An hour or two later, it rang […]Read Post ›
The end of summer hours and the return to autumn terms signifies a change in the year. After 14 years of school and three at university, autumn has always meant a new start for me. More so than the new year. Change of weather and 17 years of indoctrination leave their mark. Plus working in […]Read Post ›
Summertime (cue music) and the summer hours are easy. For those of you with failing memories, or the odd new reader, here are previous posts explaining summer hours: https://roughseasinthemed.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/summer-hours-in-gibraltar/ https://roughseasinthemed.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/gibraltar-summer-hours/ https://roughseasinthemed.wordpress.com/2014/07/08/summer-hours-2/ The short version, should you not choose to read any or all of those, is that office and shop workers work less hours in […]Read Post ›
With thousands of books being published every day in the USA alone, and approx one billion books on Amazon, it’s a wonder any self-publishing authors sell a handful of books, never mind covering costs and making a profit. Penny Sansevieri’s helpful book, ‘How to sell a truckload of books on Amazon’ covers the basics that […]Read Post ›
The good ship WordPress churns out a lot of advice. Luckily I rarely follow advice. Not even my own. One of WP’s gems on blogwriting is don’t apologise for not being around. Because, who cares? Well, the people who email me and ask if I’m OK, that’s who. So, an apology to those who were […]Read Post ›
