Art Deco Exhibition - NGV

July 3rd, 2008 · 4 Comments

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 […]

Weekend Choices

June 10th, 2008 · No Comments

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, […]

Shhhhhhh

June 4th, 2008 · 6 Comments

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 […]

Autumn Leaves

May 22nd, 2008 · 5 Comments

My next door neighbour hates the beautiful tree in front of my house because of the leaf litter he seems to feel tormented by.  Some mornings I will leave for work with my front garden covered in leaves and then come home to them piled in my driveway and this neat patch of dirt instead. […]

Planning for Winter Joy

May 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Winter is not my best season. I know there are plenty of great things about it, but the darkness and cold - it gets me down. I have friends that join me in this and every year we say we are going to get through this winter better. I’ve had in excess of 40 years practice. It’s not going […]

Good to Go

April 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’ve finally properly cleaned my home! I was fearing I had forgotten how to do it. These holidays have been quite different to my usual school holidays. I haven’t gone away or been that productive, but I’ve been really social. Internal rennovations perhaps?
Last night was great. I laughed till my belly ached and enjoyed way […]

Holidays End

April 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Woke up to my last weekend of the holidays and felt a little pang of loss, no matter how often I enjoy holidays, I still find myself a little sad when they end. It will be good to get back to school though, I’m getting a little too out of routine these holidays. Staying up […]

Wind and Rain

April 2nd, 2008 · 7 Comments

Today my buddy Rhonda turned up early, well around 12.00, but I’d just got out of bed! I’d had a bit of a sleep deprived night. Tossed and turned and even rearranged the position of my bed in my room for better feng shui at around 4.00am, with too much on my mind. Many changes […]

Online Toys for Angsty Days

March 26th, 2008 · No Comments

The life clock image, does it for me when I’m about to sit around and feel sorry for myself for a couple of hours. It puts my life into perspective. I really should have one on the wall, but fear it limit my thinking around my lifespan. Perhaps it is that I am at the exact halfway […]

The Beach

February 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Inverloch was great yesterday. I enjoyed two very lengthy swims. We took the Boogie Boards and got thrown around by the surf. It felt great. As if to schedule there was a little shower on the way home so the trees on the side of the road released their ‘bush’ smell. It was good for […]
