\"Woman<\/a>When you\u2019re racing with the clock
\nWhen you\u2019re racing with the clock
\nAnd the second hand doesn\u2019t understand
\nThat your back may break
\nAnd your fingers ache
\nAnd your constitution isn\u2019t made of rock
\nIt\u2019s a losing race when you\u2019re racing with the

I know that some will have been wondering what has been causing my near radio silence this season; but the simple truth is this: work has kept me too busy to write, and there has been little to write about.<\/p>\n

The temperature in this area of the world sadly pens me mostly indoors (me and heat are a very bad combination), so the majority of my port days are spent curled up with a book or watching the meditative flicker of a needle pulling coloured thread through cloth (I have made so<\/em> much progress this season!). And as for my work days? Well, the time that I get to sit down is rare, except for a few blessed hours in the evening that I carve out for myself.<\/p>\n

Busy , busy busy!<\/p>\n

But not unhappy! Just\u2026a little over run.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth noting that March is looming in front of us, and with March comes the ever-regular mid-season slump when things sometimes start going a little strange around here\u2026<\/p>\n

In short: I do apologise for the silence; and I promise once I stop juggling books, sewing needles, broken computers, prize vouchers and book club guides, I will get back to writing.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I truly hope you are all well, and wish you \u2013 as always \u2013 fair winds and following seas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
