Travelling Worm

A bookworm's travelogue

Tag: cobwebs

  • Sparkling webs in the mist

    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:
