Harsh, cold and grey weather does nothing for my ability to get things done. Although I had much less to get through today, I only got half of it done! In Chinese astrology I am a Snake. I can’t move unless I am warm. I was not warm.
I didn’t complete my tax return. This is […]

Up until my daughter went to secondary school, she was a fabulous performer. She was in the drama ensemble of the State Schools Extravaganza ‘Quest of the Birds’. She was a voice of one of the puppets and I was in total awe of her as she performed in front of such a large audience […]

Kate (my sister) and I went to the ‘Mind, Body and Spirit’ Festival in Melbourne yesterday. I was dissappointed. It hasn’t changed from previous visits, but I have. In fact it felt weird to me that it was so much the same as it always is. I hoped for new things, new ways but no, […]

Since lunchtime today, I have heard enough.
My daughter is home on teaching rounds this week. Last night I decided to have an early night, yet hadn’t realised that Asha would be home. I don’t always remember all my plans, or perhaps they changed. So my adult children decided to join me in bed and we […]

Tom had his 18th party with friends last night. The theme was jungle/tribal and the guest rose to the occasion wearing some pretty wild costumes. They were a great crowd. I felt really grateful that my son has great friends. I feel pleased I know them well. I taught many of them in year 7 […]

My daughter has […]

Yesterday I was back in the big smoke for another session. It went great. I had lunch with my beautiful daughter, cause I wanted to get home last night and not have a sleepover. I visited my baby sister at the backpackers where she works in the city. It was great to see her in […]

Is Good Friday ever really good? Well, in my experience, not that often. I wonder if I am conditioned by the Catholic upbringing to feel grief and sadness on that day. I remember actually being quite horrified by the whole crucifiction idea to be honest. It’s pretty full on really. It could be because I […]

My daughter, who lives away from home, has just got the internet on. She is now reading my blog. “Hi Asha!”. It’s weird because when I started writing this blog, no one was reading it. It was kind of lonely but easy too, in many ways. Now, a few people I know mention they have […]
