Busy days and sleepless nights.

It’s been a busy day so far. After a sleepless night I got up early,made breakfast, then commenced working. Mid morning I went to have my hair trimmed as it has been annoying me, called to pick up a couple of items from the supermarket, then like most of the others in this country, purchased [...]

It has been a lovely, lazy, Sunday morning.

It has been a lovely, lazy, Sunday morning. I enjoyed breakfast , read the papers and drank some good coffee. Although cool, the sun is out and I now have the house wide open , allowing the sun and fresh air into the house.
Other than go and do some grocery shopping later this afternoon, the [...]

Looking ahead to the future, whatever that may be :)

You have probably noticed that the regularity of my posts has changed in recent weeks.After writing a post most days for years I have been writing 2 , maybe 3 times a week.It’s not that I don’t have anything to say but at times what I want to say would shock or upset others, or [...]

I believe everything happens for a reason.

The past few days have been extremely difficult, due to a number of factors. I have received some work related news that has been most disappointing and after allowing myself a day of wallowing , I am getting on with it and looking towards the future. Life is full f ups and downs and this [...]

I am a fortunate woman to know so many kind and generous individuals.

Before I write anything else, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been in touch and sent their best to me re: the medical investigations. I am a fortunate woman to know so many kind and generous individuals. I really  am

Some friends cannot handle such intense conversations!

It has been a quiet week end so far. Last night we stayed in and after dinner watched TV. I dozed on and off for a couple of hours, then spent the rest of the night wide awake, thinking about all that has gone on over the past few months.
I am so glad that Prue’s [...]

Discovering a suspicious lump-just what I don’t need right now.

I am not long home from being out buying bulk supplies of chicken and meat to put in the freezer.It is much more economical and convenient than shopping weekly to do it this way. The meat will last for while as I do not eat any meat or poultry. I am glad to be back [...]

The last 24 hours have been hell as I have a shocking migraine.

I have been rather erratic with my posts here lately, I know but I have a lot going on and although the intention is always there, sometimes i just don’t get around to it.Another reason is I cannot write about some of the things that have been going on, as much as I want to.
The [...]

Welcome to all the new readers who have commenced receiving feeds and daily email updates.

It is another cold and foggy morning here in Melbourne. The gas bill is going to be enormous because we have used the heater so much over the past month. We are fortunate we have heating because there are many who have none or if they do, cannot afford to use it. Although I feel [...]

I think it will be exactly what I need- to have some fun. :)

The first night of lectures went exceptionally well last night. I have spent some time this morning typing up a few notes and looking up some reference material. When the lecture concluded last night it was so cold that I was glad of the European heater in my car. You have to hand it to [...]

I commence lectures tonight.

The week end here was cold but it was very good just the same. Plans I had for Saturday afternoon were cancelled due to a problem with my car. Fortunately, it was D who discovered it when he used my car to go and visit a friend on Saturday morning. When he arrived home , [...]

There has been a great deal of hysteria about the Swine Flu here.

It is still bitterly cold here and quite miserable. If the rain holds off today, I hope to get outside and prune a few shrubs and roses and weed the driveway garden bed as once again, the weeds are taking over.Everything at the front of the house looks so dismal while dormant, unlike the evergreen [...]

Dreams of warmer places and old friends.

I received a brief call last night from my brother Daniel, to inform me that a n old school friend is going to contact me and invite me to a school reunion. It is supposed to be a surprise but Daniel wanted to give me a heads up, just so I know what is coming. [...]

Bullies are gutless individuals with a massive inferiority complex!

I want to take some time today to acknowledge the kind thoughts of those who have contacted me over recent weeks. As most of you know, it has been an emotional time, punctuated by a bereavement and family illness. I appreciate each and every comment and email of support- thank you.
Over recent days, there has [...]
