Hello, my name is Chrissy, and I have been writing The Waters of Love trilogy since 2011!

It is the memoir of Quaver Tune, the bass player in a band from New Zealand called Loverisque. She's in this band along with Stafford, Seth and Blake.

Well, guess what, the Matterhorn is no more. Top Hat wasn't around when I was a wean either, it was a night spot in Napier.

References to NZ places always makes me happy, though. Regardless of whether or not they still exist.

1974, Quaver's shared a birthday lunch with Stafford.

One of my cats must have sensed my nervous breakdown earlier and is now asleep on my bed.

Feline soul protectors, I swear.

Please ignore the unsightly page break haha

The story of Seth's parents. Unlike the likes of Blake and Stafford, Seth had a father who was absent and a mother who was resentful.

New Zealand is depressing as hell. I long to return home, but the price of houses there... it is just insane. Same for Australia.

A tiny little beachside community I lived in for a short time as a child... houses are now averaging half a million. Like.... HOW?

Turns out some of the keys on my newish laptop are a bit dicky!

My dearest of thank yous to @jangoeswriting.bsky.social for reposting my stuff.

It is the only engagement thus far on my vss, which is making me wonder what the heck is going on. It has been a bit rubbish this last week.

Not that it ever puts me of, and when you repost my stuff, you are a ⭐

1971, the year of terror. Quaver found herself with a broken engagement...she left New Zealand forlorn, on tour with a band whose members violated her. She wanted to throw the towel in, she wanted to give up. The same man who broke her heart resurrected the band... they became Loverisque.

My trilogy did not inspire such a thing either.

Though the Beatles had huge sway over that story. I mean, Quaver wanted to learn bass guitar because of her crush on Paul McCartney. No Beatles, no Quaver splaying bass, no Loverisque, no nothing. Plus they are Stafford's favourite band.

When I wrote my #vss365 today, this song played. In fact, that final chord struck just after I started writing... and it made me think, what if aliens came here and all that was left was the musical record... and whether they'd think such a song was simple or sophisticated.

There was a time when Quaver and Skye were friends.

lol, you two both ended up falling pregnant with your sixth children... just before Seth and Stafford both got the snip.

Loverisque is a band full of vasectomies 😂

Vocals work fine for me and I prefer it over those two songs. It is not just the vocals, it is the whole package. It is a wall of noise and I dig it.

Perhaps it would be Martians, but I do wonder what extraterrestrial visitors might think of our world. We will likely be long gone, as we seem hellbent on ruining this planet. What will be left?

They won't see the beauty nor the achievements, just the capitalism and megalomaniacs.

One of my absolute favourite Beatles songs. Paul getting a bit dirty... I love it!

I just love the The Miracle was associated with you 😂

And even though I love The Miracle, Innuendo is still a better album.

God knows I can't play favourites with Queen... most of the time.

While I am toasty cinnamon bun.... it is pure baltic outside 🥶

Boo, winter is coming.

layout even. What the hell. My tiredness is showing!

Need to take some painkillers and go to sleep, I think. Only three more nights off work 😭

Ooh, the Met Office lay has changed on their website and it is pretty 😍

🌊💧Chrissy💕❤️‍🔥 @thewatersoflove.bsky.social · 2d

I make no apologies talking about this because honestly, if you are squeamish about periods, get over it.

It is a natural thing and some of us have it way worse than others.

It is the monthly visitor from hell, hence why I am not currently in Edinburgh having dinner with my pal.

It woke me up. I have been in fits of pain all day. And having to change my stuff every one and a half hours bites. Especially when you are using the Super Plus stuff.

I get random muscle twitches, been getting them for twenty odd years now. I had it all checked out, there was no reason for it.

This week's one? Right under my right eye and it is driving me freaking mental!

No gradient, but there's a slope.

And this isn't from The Waters of Love either, but another writing project I pretty much abandoned. Salamander, hello! Yes, you will appear in the Waters of Love now!

Memories of childhood. Your dad's a cop and chaperoned disadvantaged kids on school camps. You and your brothers tagged along with him. Scary jellyfish, backyard cricket, Popsicles at the canteen. Unseen from the mainland, the sea, the bush, Marlborough Sounds. A dazzling Antipodean gem.

Honestly, Elliott's videos are always entertaining to the Nth degree.

Plus I love the Beatles, and I can totally handle four hours of Ringo.

🌊💧Chrissy💕❤️‍🔥 @thewatersoflove.bsky.social · 3d

I am watching this right now... I am subscribed to this dude's Patreon.

Twenty minutes in, and I have burst out laughing multiple times.

This video's existence and my recommendation of it might seem like a joke to those not in the know-four-plus hours on Ringo and his recorded solo work??--but is very much not
