Home Again

October 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

It was beautiful weather at Tamboritha. The creeks were full and flowing with the melted snow. We walked to Thomastown on the first day. The water was freezing, not that I wet more than my feet. It was numbing.
I rode the horses morning and afternoon on Tuesday. We rode through the bush and along the […]

Class Clown

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

One of the sights that really made me smile whilst I was away was a group of statues in the front yard of the Bayview Christian College in Portland. They created a wonderful vibe and I am curious to know what that school is like. It’s architecture really captured my imagination. The jester as shown […]

Use the Force

June 21st, 2009 · No Comments

I love Star Wars. A while back one of my favourite astrologers Mystic Medusa alerted me to www.icanhasforce.com in this post about Retro Mercury. I enjoyed the picture and found one today to inspire me.
I continually have to work on my self-esteem, damn it all. Why can’t you just get it handled and have it […]

Big Day Out

January 18th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I was feeling particularly house bound today, and misery was setting in. Sitting in my backyard in the sun, I decided that a little swim in Rhonda’s pool would be no more stressful for me than a bath! So I went for a dip. I can’t say I swam really, but I floated around and […]

Facial Hair

November 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Who needs it? Well interestingly enough there are quite a few men out there who are stuggling with it this Movember. I finally caught up with my brother and was most amused at the lack of growth he was managing. Check out his Movember page if you want to see what I mean. It was […]

General Nuisance

November 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Anyone would think Mercury was retrograding, just in my life, at present.
My mobile phone is away getting repaired and I have this miniature yellow replacement thing. Each time it rings obnoxiously I look around to see who is going to answer their phone and almost miss the call before I realise it’s me. The audio […]

Son’s first VCE Exam

November 1st, 2008 · 5 Comments

Tom had his VCE English exam today and we had an amusing (now) start to the day. Whilst the following may seem stressful I can assure you it was all undertaken in a calm, almost amused way.  He hadn’t recalled till this morning, that in a short-sighted move on the last day of school, he’d thrown his school […]

The Week

October 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I got my test results this week, I ended up having the chest x-ray as well (caved in to pressure from loved ones) and all is good. No diseases whatsoever and lungs are all good too, even with the punishing I have given them. It was a relief. I am really glad now I didn’t […]

Celebrating Wilma

October 17th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m celebrating my long time friend and once business partner, Wilma’s birthday tonight. It was her birthday on the 16th, but since we no longer live in the same area and mid week celebrations aren’t as fun, tonight’s the night. I met Wilma over 20 years ago when I was 18. We were both at […]

Only Yesterday..

October 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I was lying on the beach after having the most wonderfully chilling swim. The first swim since winter and it took my breath away with each wave. I met Tom and his friends and they sat with my stuff whilst I had a swim, then headed into the town for icecream! I lay in the […]
