I've been away from SG for a while. I've still been following lots of my favourites on socials, etc, but for some reason, I've not found the time to come here. My membership lapsed and I just never got around to renewing it.

I'm happy to be back!

A lot has happened with me in the time I was away. I'm still teaching English in...

Hey folks,

Just wanted to say that you can all pick up my latest published short story as part of the 9 Tales Told in the Dark series, and it's available from next week. (19th April).

If you're interested, it's only just over a dollar on your kindle and, of course, I'd love to hear what you think!

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?

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. :)

As anyone who knows me knows, I live in Portugal's beautiful capital, Lisbon.

I teach English there and live with my wonderful girlfriend, just outside the city. Moving there has been one of the best choices of my life, after a really nice three years in Poland where, in the end, the salary I had just restricted me a bit too much.

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

@aurralee- I'd die a bit, and it'd be worth it! ;)
