Travelling Worm

A bookworm's travelogue

This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 25-year-old bookmark and can proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).

Today’s travel notes

Me and the TC have been very busy of late. She’s writing a book! It has the somewhat unwieldy title of Confluence, Tech Comm, Chocolate: A wiki as platform extraordinaire for technical communication. She wrote a blog post about it. This worm is looking forward to a comfy place in the book, when it appears at the end of January.

At times when deep in the throes of writing, me and the TC have gone out for a walk. To blow away the cobwebs. And at times there were more cobwebs outside than in.

Follow me into a wonderland of mist and sparkling cobwebs, the world of spring in the Australian bush.

The book I’m in

A Clash of Kings, by George R.R. Martin. A grand epic worthy of any bookworm.

The photos

Me, braving the droplets and the chance of a nasty fall into wet mud, all for the sake of a snapshot:

Entering a wonderland of webs in the mist:

Like the lights that people drape over Christmas trees:

Droplets shining in the early sun:

Just another gorgeous sparkling web:

And another:

There’s nothing like a good web to liven up a dead thicket:

    You’re very brave to face the cobwebs head on, Mark. I’d run away! 😉

    Good day Rhonda,

    It’s good to see you!

    You know what? I suspect that some of the webs were spun by my brethren, rather than spiders. The finest ones, of course.

    Nothing scares this worm. Except water. And strong wind, but a good book is haven against the latter.
