I Saw an Eagle today

February 21st, 2010 · No Comments

I always associate seeing one with a feeling of freedom. It was huge. I actually thought it was a plane when I first spotted it in the sky. I guess twitter or facebook would be a better place for such a short post. I just don’t find it as retrievable!

Pomegranate and Mosaic

November 4th, 2009 · 1 Comment

I had a browse through my wordpress stats the other day. I was surprised to find the most common search terms people used to find my blog were ‘pomegranate’ and ‘mosaic’. I used to be constantly looking at my stats. I had a couple of different places to go to measure and weigh up what […]

New Moon in Aries - Friday 27th March 2009

March 26th, 2009 · 3 Comments

The new moon falls in Aries, the beginning of the zodiac. It’s an astrological new beginning. Aries is the start of the zodiac, the baby. My sister, Kate, long time friend Glenn and my Auntie Judy are all Aries natives who have taught me plenty about this sign and the youngest children in their families. Aries is a […]

Busy Making Other Plans

March 7th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I haven’t felt like blogging lately. I think it’s because I am experiencing change in my life right now. I feel uncertain about decisions I’ve made and I’m no longer sure where I’m heading. Everything that was so clear has become a bit fuzzy.
I haven’t had as much time online the past few weeks. My […]

My Australia Day

January 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I had a brilliant day yesterday. I drove the kids into Flemington, they were all enthused and it was infectious. A great sunny day and lots of laughter. Arrived at Wilma’s and immediately jumped in the pool. It was a perfect afternoon of swimming and horsing around in the pool with delicious food and wine […]

Big Day Out

January 18th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I was feeling particularly house bound today, and misery was setting in. Sitting in my backyard in the sun, I decided that a little swim in Rhonda’s pool would be no more stressful for me than a bath! So I went for a dip. I can’t say I swam really, but I floated around and […]

Reflection on Blogging 2

January 18th, 2009 · 5 Comments

I’ve been thinking about blogging, cause I’ve had time on my hands. I’ve been reading new blogs and seeking ones that reflect my new directions. It’s been challenging. Letting go,  working out where I want to be. I was inspired by a post that Miscellaneous Mum featured a little while back, Okay, Fine, Dammit: Because It Needs […]

Downtime….

January 15th, 2009 · No Comments

Andy’s phone line is down so I have taken this opportunity to have a guest post on Poohduck. How mercury retrograde is that! I have just changed the template on Poohduck and I like it. He hasn’t seen it yet, due to not being online since the changes were made… so hopefully he will approve.
I think I […]

My 2008

December 30th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I am reflecting on what I have achieved this year. December 2007 seems like a lifetime ago. It has been a pretty full year for me and an enjoyable one mostly.
We’ve got through Tom’s last year of going to school and now my work is done in child rearing. Now I’m a spectator in my […]
