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.

Mood is low... as soon as I got up, I heard about what happened in Sydney today.
Absolutely sickening.

So there is a yellow weather warning for rain yet not for the wind and the wind is as strong as it was during Storm Bram.
Figure that out. It is howling outside.

Skye had noticed Stafford being weirdly emotional when their baby Scout was born. She was unaware that before Stafford had Zinzan with Quaver, Quaver experienced a miscarriage.
In fact, Quaver had two miscarriages. That one in 1971 and another with Frank in 1977.

And tonight's dinner has stained my temporary crown. I now have a neon yellow tooth courtesy of the tumeric in my tikka masala. Oops.

Just bought glasses online. It was an absolute pain in the ass to get my PD measurement, then chuck in my sizing for the frame, only to watch most of the designs I want disappear.
But I did end up with some rather Elton John styled frames in bright colours, so yay!

I missed yesterday because it was my birthday, and I was busy all day.
Oh, dear. Stafford being moody? It must have been the mid-'00s when the arthritis in his hips sent him into a tailspin of epically crap proportions. He never managed his mental health that well, either.

Rock on, Q.
Quaver is 77 today, so she was 33 on the day I was born.
Because it's my birthday, too, yeah!
Happy birthday, Quaver. No doubt you got spoilt!
And happy birthday to me. I am having a glow up for my 44th, plus a lot of booze!

Got my nails done today and I am so not used to them being so long. I could never have them long at my old job! Typing is difficult, too 😅

Late '90s... Quaver getting paranoid about her... closeness with Luke Bellamy. It's one thing to get away with it in private, but when it's public, too? As if anyone didn't realise something was going on!
Quaver's second book is about to come out...did I mention she was paranoid?

Public transport rant. It has been a while!
FirstGlasgow don't seem to remember they do have a bus to where I want to go. I checked it's running. Yes, it is!
Google gives me bullshit routing to said shopping centre.
It does not take three buses and three different companies.

Annoyed because a dress I saw advertised was available in Edinburgh and Glasgow half an hour ago. I checked again. Stock exhausted.
The store isn't even open!
However, this is an excuse to shower, get dressed and head to Glasgow for some final preparations for my.... 44th birthday tomorrow.

A glorious playlist from @bangpodcast.bsky.social
Just the odd tune I'm not keen on, but what it proves to me is... I absolutely love '80s synth tunes. I must seek some on my birthday in... two days time!

Hot flashes are not just the domain of the menopausal. They are in the domain of the perimenopausal, too.
I was cold earlier, got under my duvet. An hour later, roasting... and I still haven't cool down. I don't have a fever, either.

The wind is fucking awful tonight. House keeps creaking, I keep hearing bins falling over.
The roof is already fucked, we are so closed to getting it fixed, in fact housemate asked me to give him three companies to get quotes from.

You know what. I had a window of 30 mins. To walk the ten mins to the Lidl, get my cat food and a few other things, and get the bus home. It's not raining at the moment. Or windy.
🤞 I get home before the next deluge.

Well, I have fucked up posting this twice today. Blame the rain?
The gist is, Stafford is interested in fashion, hence scene needs a rewrite, and especially so when Quaver is wearing said fashions.

Since Amazon messed up my cat food order, I am forced to go out in Storm Bram. Yay?
Cat food has been problematic of late. The cats have always liked the same stuff, but now suddenly, they're turning their noses up at it.
Thought I had a good supply of dry food, but nope.
