We had a lively discussion in my two year 9 English classes today. We’re studying  ‘Taming of the Shrew’ and ‘10 Things I Hate About You’.  I’ve viewed both films with two classes this month. For the last couple of years this unit has been popular with year 9 English classes. The conversations and comparisons create so […]

I can’t believe my son is 18. I lay in bed last night wondering where all the years had gone and what time he was going to get home! He went out for drinks with his friends after celebrating with the family. I decided that even though he is an adult, I could still send […]

I listened to the second telecall with Stella Woods, a local Melbourne-based astrologer on relationships. Both the conversations she has offered have been sound and practical. She talked about common sense realities of relationships and making it work and attracting the right relationship. Her next call will be on creating vibrant health, if her previous calls […]

When I began ‘Joh Blogs’ a couple of years ago, I made a blog for Andy too, but he didn’t get into it. He didn’t quite ‘get’ blogging at that time. When pushed to come up with a name for the blog I initiated for him, ‘poohduck’ was his chosen title, which captures his quirky, […]

Mediatrix has something to say about Saturns movements in her post: Incomprehensible Aquarian Men. I’m not sure about Aquarian ones particularly because I don’t know too many, but I am finding men generally pretty incomprehensible lately. Interestingly the Saturn movement times have been quite significant for me.
In the quest to move on romantically I have […]

Letting go of people who are no good for you is just like a removing a splinter. It hurts to take it out, but at least you know once it’s out, it’s only going to get better.
Some splinters you don’t notice until they start getting infected and then you look at your finger and go, geez, there’s […]

We get an extra day this year! I haven’t done anything special with it. I haven’t felt that it was an extra day.  It was a Friday though, so that made it feel good.
Traditionally it’s a once in four years opportunity for women to propose marriage. I missed it! Can’t say if I wanted to get married […]

I’m not sulking about Valentines Day in view of recent heartbreak. I don’t feel any resentment to be honest. I am loving myself right now and can’t wait for my next romantic adventure. It’s kind of exciting really.
I’m not into Valentines Day much. There is something about it that just isn’t as romantic as those random days […]

Today we assembled our year 9s to raise the Aboriginal flag. We then went to our lecture theatre with the intention of showing the broadcast of Parliament and the statement the Prime Minister was about to deliver. We missed it. Some of the students heard it broadcast on the radio in transit, but most missed it. […]

It’s done. There was too much to handle last week, but I did it! I feel good today. I still have a lot of mess to clear up, there was not enough time for Andy to handle everything that needed doing. He had a lot more stuff than he realised. It won’t take long though […]
