So, just lately I've been mega crazy busy. I've been really trying to look after my health and so getting to the gym more (no, I'm not a Januwarrior, this started about 3 months ago!!)

I've also taken on a creative writing challenge, a story a week for a year! 52 stories is an enormous amount and it's taking up a lot of my time....

So I managed to get one of these bad boys last week! Well, it was my *cough* 37th birthday.

So many classics!

Anyone else picked one up?

Super happy to announce that one of my short stories has been selected for a new horror anthology by Jitter Press, an American dark fiction outlet.

Take a look at the release, if you're interested! :)

So my missus and I picked up this little beauty last weekend. She was super shy at first, as she's very small and was a rescue kitty from a litter a street cat had. But now she's super friendly and soaking up all the love we can give her. It's so great to have a furry friend to share our lives with. :)

Fast forward to...

I went to England this last weekend for a wedding of some really great friends.

I was able to drag my gorgeous portuguese lady along with me too, though I did have to dress smart, shock, horror!

Great time though and the wedding was a beautiful, love filled occasion.

Hope you guys also had top weekends!

I actually think that much of my remaining faith in humanity comes from exactly these things! In a world where politics and media get more depressing every fifteen minutes, a random act of kindness, regardless of how small, can be a great way to remember that humans can be pretty fabulous at times. This example is super tiny, but it's these ones that I love...

So, I was out earlier. Did the internet break when Suicide Girls published new sets of @coralinne and @ness on the same day? Imagine if they did a multi?! :O :P

One of the things I love about living the ex-pat life is that my friends from back in England sometimes drop by to spend some time with me and I get the chance to show them the local food, culture, sights, etc.

Last week, I had four of my very best mates stop by in Lisbon for a whole week but, because I work a...

Wow, was this ever one that struck a chord with me. The thing I wish I'd learned sooner is how much importance to place on happiness and enjoying what you do with life.

When I quit uni I fell into a "career" job and followed that path for about 9 years, despite never really being satisfied with it. The better I did the...
