Monday Blogcrawl

I tend to consume too much caffeine, which can leave me a little edgy by the end of the day. Perhaps coincidentally, I also suffer terribly from headaches, which also tend to strike at around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, leaving me quite a ghastly sight by 5. Pity my poor partner. Anyway, I'm headed off to Cambodia this week, and so will have to cut back on my caffeine somewhat - though Phnom Penh has some really lovely cafes that I am certain to veer into occasionally. Here is my pick from the web over the past week:

• I'm a writer, so nurturing my creativity is rather a constant concern.
• Hummingbird cakes were very big in Sydney in the mid 90s. I don't think I've had one for 10 years, but OH I remember their deliciousness. Was happy to see that Blackberry Creek Home Arts has not one but TWO recipes for that queen of cakes. Pity I'm on a diet.
• Mashable suggests some excellent apps for keeping one's real-life social commitments in order. I am definitely getting geekier.
• Suzannah Windsor Freeman gives us a nice list of writerly websites worth checking out.
• Stephanie Dowrick is a friend, mentor, teacher and inspiration to me, and I have been absolutely loving her new book Seeking the Sacred. The Therapist Within has an interesting interview with her, covering many of Stephanie's favourite topics. Fascinating.
