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 […]

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 […]

Yesterday Darin and I went for a drive. We were heading for Yarra Junction to have a look around and I spotted a sign to the Ada Tree. I have always wanted to be at that old tree, so we made a detour down the dirt track, walked through the ferny rainforest and there it was. […]

Yesterday we took the kids fishing. Darin’s son brought his rod for the weekend and was keen. I had asked a couple of the boys at school about the local fishing spots, but I wasn’t clear about where they meant so we headed for Sale. Getting bait was the beginning of the adventure. We went […]

 I must admit to feeling a little frustration about […]

My friend Rhonda has a couple of students from Mexico staying for a few days. She called today to say they were going to the beach for the afternoon and inviting me along. I love the beach all year round so I readily accepted the invitation casting housework and other mundane chores aside, without a […]

I left home on Saturday morning, heading towards Albury/Wodonga, with no real idea how to get there. I can read though luckily so I just followed the signs. I was staying at my old friend Glenn’s on Saturday night and had intended to visit Kat first in Albury. I had no idea how far away […]

In the last year of his life, my pa told me he’d made an appointment to see our local politician about an idea he had for solving the water problem. He told me to keep it to myself because others would say it couldn’t be done, but he’d thought it through and believed it was a viable option. […]

I don’t like having to pay bills. Not just because I don’t always want to part with my money, but because it’s boring. I have most things set up to work automatically now and I probably am saving a fortune in late fees, because I would always put off looking at it.   
I have just waited […]
