What did everyone get up to over the weekend?

What are you up to as we ease our way out of 2025 and into 2026? 
I did a full tidy up of my study, ready to start new projects and continue current ones. Today, I’m wrangling the dahlia garden thanks to a windstorm yesterday.
Your turn!

How was your weekend, my lovelies? Spring has sprung in NZ, and I managed to get out in the garden to do some tidying and pot up seedlings. What about you? Relaxing weekend?
First dahlia post of 2025! The flowers are blooming - though they’ve had to contend with some crazy winds! Lots of staking and tying to help them stay upright, but so worth it for their gorgeous display. How’s your new year going so far?
Hello my lovelies! I've been in the writing cave for a good while - now I emerge blinking like a mole. 
How are you doing? It's spring in NZ, so I'm tempted to head into the garden store and buy some colorful seedlings for the garden. Though of course, once I walk into a garden store, somehow my entire shopping cart gets full!
Some flowers for you from my garden.
What are you up to this week? I’m at my writing desk (and sometimes in the garden!)
What did you get up to?
Hello from the writing desk - where I’m currently working on the next Guild Hunter book. 
What’re you up to today?
Nalini and I had giant hot chocolates when we went out for lunch in the weekend (spoon for scale). What did you get up to over the weekend??

Hello my lovelies! How has the year been treating you so far?
I've been busy going over the Storm Echo copy edits, and starting work on the next Guild Hunter (early days, so I can't share anything yet, but I will as soon as I can!). Oh, and the next Hard Play book (Danny) is in edits, and I should have an official release date for you soon.
In the weekends, I've been baking treats and sprucing up the garden - this past weekend we had huge winds come through and flatten a few poor plants! Hopefully they'll all bounce back.
Your turn! Tell me all your news.
It's been a while since we caught up. What are you all up to at the moment?
I spent most of the weekend clearing out a garden in readiness for spring, and making sure my dahlia bulbs were happily stored for the planting season. Also, I ate cake. Much cake. Ashwini's been baking and she keeps dropping things off! As a supportive sister, I feel it's my duty to eat my way through the deliciousness.
Okay, your turn! What's your news?
