june 28 2026 by dorkymum in blogging 1 comment i m proud of myself for building a successful writing business from scratch i m also grateful to all the clients who have chosen to stick with a living breathing human writer instead of switching over to ai my work is varied rewarding and importantly helps pay the bills but i ll confess there is a tiny part of me that misses writing purely for fun it s not just about finding the time it s as much a question of finding the headspace i m in awe of people who spend all day doing comms work and still write creatively after hours that s not me i can only manage four or five hours of solid writing a day before my brain shuts down and i have to shift to reading or admin tasks the ideas are still there but the capacity to execute them isn t if none of these ideas will ever escape my drafts folder and make it into fully formed posts i may as well give them a brief airing in listicle format this listicle is like me a mixture of silly and serious here are some of the many many blog posts i don t have time to write right now continue reading autumn 2026 a few more than 10 good things may 31 2026 by dorkymum in family tasmania 4 comments i ve been having an internal debate about whether to give myself a few days grace before writing this end of autumn blog post last week was a really frustrating one on multiple levels we were all ready for it to be over before we d even made it to tuesday lunchtime and i worried my grumpiness might be too tricky to hide but the whole reason for starting these quarterly posts was to focus on the positives and put the daily frustrations in perspective and so on we go with a celebration of what john keats called the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness we have certainly had a season of mists here with a bridgewater jerry thundering down the river derwent on a good number of mornings we ve also had beautifully warm and bright t shirt days howling gales torrential rain snow on kunanyi and that sweet soft perfect light that defines autumn in lutruwita tasmania i m looking at the notes app on my phone where i jot down things that have sparked joy and i have quite a few more than 10 this time round i ll include them all because only a very silly goose would rank their joys and drop the bottom ones off the list but i will also try and keep my descriptions shorter so we re not here all day you re generous readers but i know that i push my luck with the 2000 word posts that pop up every so often enough preamble continue reading summer 2025 2026 10 good things march 1 2026 by dorkymum in family leave a comment i m really enjoying this newly established tradition of a seasonal blog post celebrating some of the joyful things that have happened over the previous three months goodness knows the world is throwing enough distressing and difficult news at us all not just seasonally but on a near daily basis at the moment so actively taking a little bit of time to look at the brighter side of life feels like a really important way of resisting the descent into doom summer always seems to arrive quite late in lutruwita tasmania december and even january were still a bit miserable weather wise and it s only now that schools are back of course that we ve had a really consistent run of warmer brighter days however summer officially ends and autumn officially begins today so without further ado here are my moments of joy from summer 2025 2026 continue reading a summer holiday in aotearoa new zealand february 16 2026 by dorkymum in family travel tags aotearoa christchurch cookie time family holiday family travel new zealand queenstown wellington 8 comments there comes a moment towards the end of every holiday when no matter how much fun you re still having it becomes clear that it s time for you to go home mine came on our final evening at millbrook a beautiful and slightly swanky golf resort where we spent the last three nights of our recent trip to aotearoa new zealand walking back from dinner in the evening sun toenails twinkling red linen trousers rippling in the gentlest of breezes stomach full of delicious food i was feeling relaxed perhaps a little too relaxed thinking we were alone i stopped on the path back to our suite turned to my family and bust out a spectacular head banging full body rendition of the drum solo from phil collins in the air tonight but it turns out we weren t alone at all and the group of elderly women coming towards us on the path were not in fact a very enthusiastic audience i think it may have taken them a moment to recover oh my god i heard my husband and son muttering behind me definitely time to go home continue reading spring 2025 10 good things december 7 2025 by dorkymum in family tags 10 good things hobart seeking joy spring tasmania 11 comments back in august i wrote a post setting out my plan for how to use this blog over the next year or two in the absence of other things to write about i ll aim for a seasonal post celebrating ten good things that have happened in our lives spring has been very busy for all of us with some lows as well as some highs but the point of this series is to focus on the highs so let s do that 1 visitors from scotland in september my dad and stepmum made the long long journey over from scotland to visit us they d visited once before just after we moved and honestly i wasn t expecting a repeat trip knowing how big the undertaking is so it was a lovely surprise when they said they were coming again determined to make the most of it we packed more into 18 days than we d usually do in a year meals out walks museums vineyards beaches wildlife and of course every kind of weather often in the space of a few hours continue reading post navigation older posts let s
