We have spent almost all weekend indoors. The weather has been pretty ordinary. Still I’m glad I wasn’t camping!
 I have completed about a quarter of the things I’d hoped to do. I didn’t manage much more than a glance at my students work, let alone correct it all. I have almost completed the first weeks tasks […]

I haven’t studied at Uni since the 90s. I just logged into the CSU site and that overwhelmed feeling is coming back to me. I’m not sure I really want to do this. Feels like I’m just about to go into labour with my second child and I’m remembering what it’s about and kicking myself. […]

I got soaked walking from my office to my car after school today. I was saturated to the bone and the coolness of that has stayed with me all night. I have been super active and handled lots of tasks that I’ve been too hot and bothered to attend to all week. I was on bus […]

We arrived in Sydney late Thursday night and I met Darin’s parents for the first time. They were warm and welcoming. I felt immediately at home. During my stay I met friends and family and enjoyed their humour and generous hospitality. I was nervous contemplating meeting so many new people, yet I needn’t have been.
I spent one […]

Yesterday was unexpectedly lovely. I discovered a new favourite soup. It was delicious. It’s quite handy to have Darin around suggesting things to try and showing me how to make them, as well as chopping the onions and cabbage really finely for me. He does that so fast too.
After our soup we went for a […]

My year has began well. I have rearranged my furniture and cleaned the house. It feels more spacious. I have removed some clutter. There is always more to let go of. I noticed yesterday how I just move things that have no value to other places. I want to rid myself of it. I really love […]

Darin and I went to the Prom today. Tidal River was bursting at the seams with people so we decided after lunch to head to Squeaky Beach. There is a carpark there now. Last time I went there I had to walk from Tidal River. It was gorgeous. White, squeaky sand and blue water that […]

I have been really productive today. I have cleaned the house and attended to a few overlooked personal matters that I have been putting off. I have downloaded all my photo’s from my camera and my mum’s and put some on facebook for the family to see. I also put my little clip from Asha’s […]

On Boxing Day I went to my brother’s house in Lara for a family gathering. It’s the first time I’ve been there and it was great to see him and his wife and the beautiful home they have made. I enjoyed hanging out with my four brothers. It’s not that often they are altogether. They […]

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 […]
