Pause

January 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments

I wish I could press pause on the holidays. I want the time to last longer. There is so much I am just beginning to get into after unwinding, celebrating, tripping off to Sydney and now the holidays have shrivelled up and there’s only a week left. How did that happen?
I am listening to an […]

Austinmer and the Grand Pacific Drive

January 15th, 2010 · No Comments

We went to Austinmer whilst I was away. We intended to get a kebab from the shop across the road from that lovely beach. The header of this blog was taken at that beach when I had a holiday in Wollongong. I enjoyed that spot. It was very busy this visit, so we went further […]

I Love Sydney

January 13th, 2010 · 1 Comment

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 […]

School finished for 2009

December 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment

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 Quarter

October 4th, 2009 · No Comments

The thing about the 4th term is that it goes fast. Then I have my second lot of 6 week vacation to look forward to. I don’t want to wish my life away, but this year each term has felt like a marathon. I have to keep telling myself it won’t be so bad once I get […]

Halfway

September 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I haven’t blogged since last week! The weather turned a bit rough so I turned to inside activities mostly, though we did get some gardening in on Thursday. It was long overdue with some garden beds needing to be mowed rather than weeded. I want to do so much outside it is overwhelming to start sometimes. […]

9 Holes

September 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

Yesterday we went to Cowes for a drive. It was really sunny when we left home and my clothing reflected this. Once I arrived I needed to buy a pair of warm pants because my skirt just wasn’t keeping the wind out. I love the emergency purchase. We checked out some real estate that we’d […]

Free Time Over

August 8th, 2009 · No Comments

I knew this day would come. The last day of my leave. The truth is, I’m a little relieved. I’ve had enough leisure. It’s been marvellous and I have lived in most moments of it (unless I was rehashing the past or planning for the future) and feel like I’ve been away for a lot longer than […]

New Moon - Solar Eclipse in Cancer - Wednesday 22nd July 2009

July 21st, 2009 · No Comments

In the lead up to this eclipse/new moon, I have been madly decluttering as recommended by Mystic Medusa in many of her posts and communiques. I am subscribed to her services for many reasons, mostly because I love her expression. I feel like I have been letting go and decluttering since my holidays began, first shedding […]
