Lyn began writing as a precocious child to escape a childhood poignantly and irrevocably marred by embarrassing parents.
Now a self-proclaimed adult; Lyn likes to be thought of as insightful, articulate, and achingly clever, but she’s just a bit of a nerd, really.
Lyn lives a joyously vibrant but exhaustingly
democratic life of domestic bliss with her terrifyingly pubescent boys who studiously ignore, grunt and pffft at her ill-conceived efforts at professionalism, cooking and motherly-love. Said lads appear to be totally unharmed by her late-blooming single-dom, despite being keen to see her settle down, (of course they’re also keen for her to become a best-selling author so she can work from home, and for school to be deemed a ‘crime against humanity’ and subsequently abolished, so they may be waiting a while!).
She thinks bloggers are, generally, self-indulgent tossers with nothing fresh, poignant or vaguely relevant to say – and thus, considers herself well qualified for the task.
It’s romantic and insightful. Life should’ve given human enough innocence or the other way around. Love your airy, light style.
Just an fyi from one blogger to another, this person has totally ripped off your work and put it on a different blog (that sells ads…the nerve) without benefit of a link to your http://get-aboutwine.blogspot.com/2010/03/wine-for-non-wankers.html
Just a heads up. You can file a copyright violation with Blogger/Google here:

This person stole my content too – lets get this thief shut down!
OUCH! Thanks for the heads up!
Gee Lyn,
well done, you appear to be doing well,
keep it up and take care
from an old primary school friend
Tania – Lovely to hear from you! Would love to hear how you (and Glenn!) are doing these days.
You remember me!!!
All is good, with all the family, thanks for asking
Hi, nice to meet you !
Nice to meet you too. Thanks for stopping by.
Quite a dilemma you’ve created for me here Lyn. Two free periods this morning. Do I mark Year 8′s Australian playwright assessments as I planned to do or do I sit here with my peppermint tea and read on? I think the answer is clear.
Careful Michelle, one never knows where a delicious cup of peppermint tea may lead…
I know exactly where it will lead. It will lead to having to sign out and log off everything and then traipse all the way down to the staff toilets and then traipse all the way back to log on and sign in again before continuing. That’s where it will lead.
Good gracious woman! I’ve seen The L Word, I know what happens in bathrooms!
I was thinking of a shared meal and a bottle of red…
That sounds like an invitation…. An inviting invitation at that!
There goes the bell. Thank you for a couple of hours of truly fascinating and thought-provoking reading. Can’t wait to do more! x
I agree with a lot of what you said. I’ve just never heard it put together so well. Thanks! I want to share this with all my over indulgent friends.
Thanks so much for your kind comment!
So you think what you say is relevant but we other poor dummy’s out here are not. Well who the hell do you think you are saying such things? Hmmmm?
Serious for a moment.: I am loving it. Your wit and precision of thought is right up my alley.
And…….wait…..I think I might have something to say also. Could that be possible. Well you will have to find out!
hahaha! On the contrary, my dear man, I KNOW that what I have to say is irrelevant, but I say it anyway – and with gusto! hahaha.
Thanks for your kind words, David. I’m pleased that you stumbled by, and that I’ve made you smile.
Sorry, your prose is rather overblown.
Thanks for the feedback Gordon. Alas, I’ve always had a bit of a wanky, self-indulgent style.
i love it. I will totally be subscribing!
Thanks April – and welcome. I’m so pleased you dropped by.
lol you are quite a character Lyn! I love this description of yourself.
Thanks Elleyb!
Ok..that does it… I’ll subscribe via RSS. Loved it!
hahaha! Fantastic! Welcome!
Quite witty!
Kudos!
I agree, I have nothing fresh to say, therefore I choose to post some of my drawings.
Nothing under the sun is new, but I’m sure my aliens are relatively unique
Totally brilliant! Thanks!
