My Missing Life: For the Linguaphiles - Cape'in / Capelin / Capeƚin
http://mymissinglife.blogspot.com/2015/07/for-linguaphiles-capein-capelin.html
This is me, the writer, telling stories about family, travel, quirky moments in life and refecting on the world and its absurdities. Saturday, 25 July 2015. For the Linguaphiles - Cape'in / Capelin / Capeƚin. At the family reunion in Italy we were being told that our name was pronounced Capelin (three syllables with equal emphasis all three syllables) and/or Cape'in. The locals insisted in pronouncing it in two ways one of which dropped the L which was very confusing. Well now I understand. It's about st...

My Missing Life: February 2015
http://mymissinglife.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
This is me, the writer, telling stories about family, travel, quirky moments in life and refecting on the world and its absurdities. Thursday, 26 February 2015. When you can't see what's under your nose/ in front of your face. It's hard work. Every bit as hard as the first draft which semed well nigh impossible at times. At least this time I have the story in a complete form so I can rearrange and rewrite it without needing to always be faced with a blank page. I thought, of course, we've inherited a lit...

This is me, the writer, telling stories about family, travel, quirky moments in life and refecting on the world and its absurdities. Monday, 29 June 2015. Three Amici Part III. View from Agrigento apartment. I did say I fancied her. That may have contributed to her panic.Of course when I say fancied I mean I complimented her on her beauty and confessed that the younger man in me found her very attractive. Well, the older man too to be honest. In Marsala I found my second home where I could lick my wounds...

My Missing Life: October 2014

This is me, the writer, telling stories about family, travel, quirky moments in life and refecting on the world and its absurdities. Monday, 27 October 2014. Don had a love of theatre and politics. He was the one who supported me in my time teaching at QUT when I was arguing for a community stream to be included in the Drama course. He was always interested in ideas and in stirring the pot.

The Kettle Redux: June 2013
http://thedangerouskettle.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
This blog will be templateless until such time as I figure out what's doing. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. I've got your stuff: An open blog post of apology. A selection of the 15 million books I've borrowed, suffering Stockholm syndrome. Books are my main problem. They're just so damned interesting and I want to read them all and you have so many! And you're so kind and sharing and offer them to me, and I snap them up greedily, knowing they won't see you again until your children have left home. So my questio...

The Kettle Redux: Is that a guitar in your lap or are you just happy to see me?
http://thedangerouskettle.blogspot.com/2012/06/is-that-guitar-in-your-lap-or-are-you.html
This blog will be templateless until such time as I figure out what's doing. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Is that a guitar in your lap or are you just happy to see me? I have just started learning the guitar, and goodness me! Isn't it a marvellous instrument? Not only do I feel like Leonard Cohen (I sound like shit but in my head it's all Cohen) but I'm developing suitably rock-god-like calluses. Can't feel a thing! You see, I'm discovering that wicked string-stopping calluses mean no fine fingertip sensitity.

Perseus Q: May 2014
http://perseusq.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Book reviews and reactions. Thursday, 22 May 2014. I am writing my 15th novel and it is called 'The Deck Scrbbers'. I shall now detail what happened to the 14 before that. Here's the first five. It's okay," he says, "I'm a poet." The neighbour says, "Well juxtapose this you cunt! I was 25 years old and had five novels complete or partially complete. Saturday, 10 May 2014. The Slap is the best book I've read in years and here is why. It's now going back on my shelf to sit there proudly. I give it an A.
