It’s hard to believe it’s less than a week since Asha’s 21st. What a packed week I’ve had! It’s all been lovely and I have seen most of the people I love this week. I miss Kate and Tom today, but had Tom here this time last week for the weekend, which almost makes up […]

Today we had our breakup for school. We had breakfast together, a liturgy and then a lunch. At last! This school year is over. My office is empty at the junior campus. I think I’ve got everything completed there.
So this first day of the six weeks ahead is mine at last. When I got home […]

Last night there were celebrations all around such as this one at Federation Square. In the wikipedia article I read with interest that the celebrations are to […]

Tonight I watched ‘Four Weddings and A Funeral’ again. I haven’t watched it for years and I forgot the ending, which was kind of a bonus. It reminded me of the youtube clip that has been mentioned on Twitter and some blogs in the last week ‘Brian and Ellen’s Wedding ‘Music Video’. It’s quite watchable […]

I like to consider Chinese New Year as the real start to the year. I always need that extra distance from the Christmas festivities to get my home and head in order to start a fresh year. This year is challenging as I am part way through a lot of little projects to do with […]

The last time I spent New Years Eve at Inverloch was in 1983 if I remember correctly. It was a more sedate event this time. I stayed with Rhonda and her daughters friends. It was an immediate culture shock for me after having a quiet few days at home after Tom had headed off to his event. […]

I am bragging I know, but I am finished my shopping. I have totally enjoyed it this year and feel really pleased with the gifts I have to give. I am excited about Christmas. Each time I’ve been shopping, I’ve bumped into my best mate from school, Rhonda, and we have had a coffee together….totally […]
