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 […]

Last Thursday, Darin and I went to Belgrave after work to see Paul Dempsey at Ruby’s Lounge. It was a busy night. My mind was racing with the events of the next few days. We called in to see Wilma, but missed her. We had dinner at the pizza shop a couple of doors up. It […]

Tom is coming home tomorrow. I haven’t dared to think about it too much over the last two weeks but recently I can’t hide from the longing to see my son. Everywhere I go lately I have bumped into one of his friends who share my anticipation. Darin and I are planning a gathering over […]

My wonderful brother Tim gave me the Elbow CD ages ago and I must admit I haven’t got around to really listening to it properly until these holidays. I love this song. My brother is blogging now and it’s a great place to find new music if you are into it.

Yesterday I felt the influence of the […]

My drive to work used to take about 5 minutes at most through the main street, a couple roundabouts and one set of traffic lights. It was a brief couple of moments to compose myself for my day and a quick transition from work to home at the end of the day.
Now I take 20 minutes […]

Joan of Arc has to be one of the coolest historical women. Kate Bush seems to think so too. I love her historical imagination in this song. ‘Blows a kiss to God’ … conjures up an image of a very human and sweet faith doesn’t it?
 It’s funny the random things you find you have […]

You must go see Dallas Frasca if you can. She is an amazing performer. We went to Ruby’s lounge on Friday night to see her and I am so glad I made the effort, which is unusual for me. Kat gave me a CD of hers a while ago and I loved it. It was visually […]

I love this song. Interesting film clip. Could be relevant!
The handyman has finished my kitchen and I’m very happy with it. I’ll be even happier when I clean it properly as all the dust has highlighted to me many fine spiderwebs I didn’t realise existed and most of the contents of my cupboards are […]

I have a house full of young people. No reason in particular.
Tom cooked yummy pasta for us tonight. Rueben is whining about us leaving him when we depart from here. He will get over it …. because he is going to be the best primary school teacher ever! 
I enjoyed this clip…

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 […]
