Nu drew the cardigan to herself, letting its fluffy Angora wool caress her cheek. A homespun article of clothing, and also a casserole from her furry friend - Nu constantly amazed herself with her dedication to the circular economy.

Northern hemisphere summer or Southern? Or Singapore ‘summer’? (Singapore is on the equator). But back to the Q. I’ll be reading “Light Box” by K. J. Orr. It’s an anthology of fictional stories, lent to me by my wonderful publisher, Ng Kah Gay, of Ethos Books.

Update: for my most recent book, a poetry collection titled Sign Language for the Death of Reason, my idea came from my first book, Loss Adjustment. I wanted to do a poetic response to it. Previously, for LA, I wrote: I was half-way through a non-residential retreat in honour of Mary, based on works by de Montfort for contemplation. I heard the voice of my late daughter, Victoria, tell me to listen to my inner voice. At the time I was reading a bit by de Montfort where he says to focus on making the most of your particular skills. Victoria's voice urged me, 'Mum, Google creating writing courses NZ''. I went home, did so, and a week later had been accepted into the MA at the International Institute of Modern Letters for a memoir about Victoria. So I didn't 'get' the idea, the idea came to me.
