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
Posted in Positive Thinking, Uncategorized on Sunday, 7 September, 2008 | 2 Comments »
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!
As you can imagine, we’re all spewing forth great bucketfuls [...]
The Month of Thinking Positively
Posted in Uncategorized on Monday, 1 September, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
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.
There is a [...]
Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Spring, weather, Winter on Sunday, 31 August, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Yes, it’s finally that time of the year again! Today is the last day of Winter. I know it will take a while for things to really warm up, but already I can hear little birds chirping outside, and only this morning, I heard a fly buzzing it’s little wings! Okay maybe that’s not so [...]
Mother knows best (really, I do!)

When I was growing up, I always believed that my mother knew best. Well, she always told me she did. I was the youngest of four daughters. My sisters all turned out fairly well, so she must have been doing something right. So I listened to her. I did as she told me. I obeyed [...]
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?
Posted in gardening on Wednesday, 9 April, 2008 | 2 Comments »
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….
Posted in gardening, tagged garden on Thursday, 7 February, 2008 | 4 Comments »
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 [...]
Jane, Jane and more Jane…

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 [...]
