Remember me?

Yes that’s right. I’m the one who was supposed to be writing in here every day.
I started off well. And of course there are little stops and starts along the way when life throws you a few curveballs that you need to dodge. But not to worry. Life’s all [...]

Day 7 – Rain

They say rain is good.  And, living in a place where our only water source is from a tank, I’d have to agree.  But there’s still something about rain I don’t like.
Anyway, today it rained.  Poured, in fact.  Wet, cold, noisy rain.  And while I may think all I like about it filling up the [...]

……. to bring some exciting news about my little Maggie.  She wrote a story all about friends and submitted it to the local newspaper writing competition.  Third prize in her age category!  We’ve just returned from the big presentation night.  What a little star she is!

The Month of Thinking Positively

So I’ve decided to make some changes in my life.  In fact, I often decide to make changes, but for reasons as yet unknown to me, they rarely eventuate.  So by a stroke of amazing luck or just lucky timing, an email arrived in my inbox telling me how to do just that.

That’s just clawful!

You may or may not know that I’m a vegetarian.  I just don’t enjoy the taste of meat.  I also don’t enjoy the taste of fish or seafood of any kind.  So when my husband decided – for reasons I can’t yet work out – to take the girls to our dam for a spot [...]

Garden? What garden?

I’m not a garden person.  I like to look at gardens.  I even like to sit in them.  But I do not do gardens!  Why then, we chose to live in a place that is surrounded by grass, trees and plants of every description, I still do not know. 
I’ve had my moments of inspiration.  Unfortunately, [...]

Best laid plans….

I had my day all planned.  I should have stuck to it.  My plan was to concentrate on getting the inside of the house all clean and tidy.  That was enough.  I could handle that. 
Well today, as I stood by the kitchen window and contemplated which room I should begin with, I looked out into [...]

So I went to see “The Jane Austen Book Club” last night.  Having read the novel again recently, I was eager to see how it adapted to film.  Would the characters be how I’d imagined them?  How would they handle the characters telling stories from their past?  Would I end up loving the characters on [...]
