Today I went with a gorgeous friend to see the Art Deco exhibition at the Gallery. It was great. There are some really great peices and we spent a couple of very pleasant hours strolling around and taking them in. If you are interested and can’t get to Melbourne to see it, there is a Victorian […]

My daughter has […]

This week at school a student brought me a pomegranate. It’s beautiful and he said he was sorry because it was undersize. It is the same size as the expensive ones I had been buying at the supermarket. It’s smell filled my office. I was so pleased I told my class how much I had […]
