Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

August 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Jane sent me this book. During most of the whiney phone conversations I’ve had with her since, she’s asked if I’ve read it. All my griefs that I regularly share with her were covered by the book. She was correct in recommending it to me. It was good for me. A woman I work with who lived in […]

Blog as Memory

May 19th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Today I was reading Mystic Medusa:Ultrascorping.., I had to check in because I noticed this morning at our briefing everyone was looking a bit shabby and I assumed that the looming full moon had something to do with it. The reference made to late 2005 started me wondering, what I was up to then. As my memory […]

The Great Ocean Road - Road Trip

January 14th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I got up early on Friday morning, before the sun rose, to take some photo’s from the balcony. It was still warm as I sat out on the balcony, handwriting my journal, taking some shots and drinking my coffee in the still and quiet morning.
We were back on the road by 9.00 and headed to […]

‘The Girlo Travel Survival Kit’ by Anthea Paul

January 10th, 2008 · No Comments

‘The Girlo Travel Survival Kit’ is released this month and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. If it’s anything like her previous books, it will be a precious addition to my library. I know I’m a bit old to consider myself a girl, but somewhere on the inside, I must be […]

The Adelaide Part of My Trip

January 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Arriving in Adelaide on Friday 19th December, I checked into the Youth Hostel I had booked online and was pleasantly surprised. The Adelaide Central Youth hostel is a great place to stay. I have loved my stays in Youth Hostels and I don’t think I would ever stay in a motel again, if there were […]

New Years Eve 2007

December 31st, 2007 · 4 Comments

I won’t be celebrating New Years Eve in a traditional way. There will be no crowds and groggy celebrations for me. I hope that all those I love will be safe.  The past two years I have been travelling at this time, on my way to Wollongong last year and Broken Hill the year before, with Andy. This year I am […]

Trip to Wollongong - Laughs

February 1st, 2007 · No Comments

This photo was taken at Tilba and I immediately conjured in my mind a toothless old guy searching the road for his teeth.
There were plenty of laughs! The things I remember most about the adventures I have in my life are the laughs often. Andy, the love of my life and travelling companion provided […]

Yesterday’s Journey

August 11th, 2006 · No Comments

I caught the train from Pakenham to the city yesterday. The course I had to attend was across the road from Flinders Street station, so it was too easy. I really enjoyed the time out and completed the novel I have been reading every night for weeks. I got some clips that I will put […]
