I wrote the Waters of Love. I haven't finished it. Chonky Kiwi in Scotland. Mass consumer of music and podcasts. Manifestation Queen for Seaside Pod Review. Always tired, but partial to craft beer.

Quaver and Stafford for life <3

Hello, my name is Chrissy, and I have been writing The Waters of Love trilogy since 2011!

It is the memoir of Quaver Tune, the bass player in a band from New Zealand called Loverisque. She's in this band along with Stafford, Seth and Blake.
God this is a pain in the bum. Waiting for a delivery that apparently cannot be left in a safe place (it's just an empty petrol container). So I have had to watch the window like a hawk because the delivery window is between 12 and 6.

Every time a car or van pulls up... then disappointment.

Hey @dwill93.bsky.social, your love of my posts has not gone unnoticed!

I just remembered you did draw the birthday boy Stafford yourself!

Can't believe he's 80!

That is every so bittersweet given I heard that particular festive tune just a couple of days ago.

Of course, he was more than that. 💔

When I recently listened to my trilogy out loud, it turned out Quaver was just as bitchy and gossipy like the others. Here is her and Minnie having a jolly good laugh at Skye expecting twins.

Like you can talk, Quaver. You had twins, too!

Suppose I better get off my ass and have a shower.

I really do not want to go out but tomorrow will be even worse.

Road trip on Xmas, none of the usual cafes or supermarkets will be open for us to get our coffees, soda or road snacks.

think we might take some snag rolls and pigs in blankies

Don't know why I'm not feeling that excited about an unreleased Queen track... being played today.

I find with legacy acts, nine times out of ten, the 'new' song wasn't worth getting excited over.

The only exception has been Jethro Tull and the big box sets that have come out in recent years.

Stafford was a child star on the radio. As a teenager, he helped run music camps. The ones from 1960 to 1962 had Quaver, Seth and Blake take part.

Five years later, he has returned from London and some... flirty letter writing has Quaver and Stafford face to face again.

Rest is history.

Do I really want to go out today...no. But I have to.

All my snippets are ready!

Luke appears a few times and goblet became flute as in champagne flute because my writing isn't the kind to have goblets. Nope, it's wanky champer flutes!
Here are the #WIPSnips words for THE LAST FULL WEEK of 2025. Woah!

Synonyms, variations and ✨vibes✨ are fine, and remember to use Alt Text on graphics.

What the actual fuck. Just what sounded like explosions outside my house. Two of them.
December 21, 2025 at 6:23 PM
Hungry, but the only thing I really have to eat that is not dinner related, is some pistachio ice cream. Groceries are due in a couple of hours.

I have things to do, but I can't be fucked because I'm still dealing with shitty headaches

Boomers aka Quaver and Blake getting nostalgic over the parties of yore.

My new glasses have arrived!

I am not used to having such big frames, but I can see perfectly with them! It was my first time ordering glasses online, so thanks, Firmoo!

THIS

I have seen Franz Ferdinand five times, and four of those times, I was the loser by herself.

Not this time. FF, beer. my German @seasidepodreview.bsky.social pals.

That podcast brings people together for sure!

"No wonder I got fat in 1969."

"You weren't fat; it was a bit of belly, and all I could think was, wow, there's more Stafford for me to love."

"So sweet, and so is this not so humble crumble. Apples and tamarillos? My beloved mum made that when I was a wean."

Tastes of New Zealand 🇳🇿

A pal asked me about my writing. What I didn't let slip was... the sex scenes are pretty graphic. I'm warning you, this is NSFW, and this is... tame as fuck compared to what follows.

Stafford... naughty boys get pleasurable punishment.

Well, I have a plan for Christmas.

Housemate and I are going on a road trip. Up north somewhere..

In fact, most of our road trips have been upwards of Inverness.

I must remember to take Melrose, Macduff and Fortose with me.

Aka the two Highland cows and fox soft toys.... mascots!

Ugh, migraine.

I woke up with one, forced myself to the dentist.

Came home straight into bed. I am feeling cold and blah.

Taken some medication and am praying it kicks in soon.

The mid-90s were... so unsettled. The solo career, a divorce, a gender transition. Then there's Stafford, who is now a divorcee himself. Hearts are in the right place... it's just not the right time yet!

And I knew you always fancied Seth, Stafford!

Well, I need to go to sleep because I didn't get enough sleep last night, plus the appointment for my permanent dental crown is tomorrow.

I hope it isn't nowhere near as painful at the first appointment was. I had to be numbed up twice.
December 18, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Today was a random road trip. A great time had but...

it has ended with my housemate going over to his uncle's house to check on him.

I really hope this isn't the worst case scenario

Second night in a row of very loud voices outside my house.

It honestly sounds like a bunch of women got on the prosecco.
