Visit to Melbourne
The other weekend I dropped into Melbourne on my way to a conference to see my newest niece and drop in a Christmas present. Here she is with my soon-to-be sister-in-law. Isn’t she adorable! Well… they both are. And I reckon my brothe...
Happy Anniversary
It was a beautiful spring day today. the warm sun, so long denied us warmed my back as I set about putting my neglected garden in order. Well pulled a few weeds anyway. It is a satisfying thing to see a well swept back passage and no, that is not a...
Three score years and ten
We were down in Dunsborough for mum’s 70th birthday celebration. She had invited her family to Caves House for a breakfast. The photos in the room were of Caves House in the year of her birth – 1939. This is the youngest member of the fa...
Meeting the new man
It was a beautiful sunny morning in Cottesloe. The sky as blue as any summer day. The ocean smooth all the way to Rottnest, which sat on the horizon, clear enough to see the lighthouse. We met for breakfast at The Blue Duck, a restaurant Groover an...
Exposed as a bad parent
It was a VERY close call. Last night, I came in from bridge and immediately got ready for dinner at a friends house (a superb roast pork). I jumped into the shower, then realised, getting dressed, that all my clean underwear was in the family room...
I don’t want to hear your excuses
Do you like to hear a long list of reasons why someone has said no? I hate it. I don't want to hear your excuses....
Smug satisfaction
It’s a little bit embarrassing to admit this but I feel a little kernel of smug satisfaction when I’m right… and Groover’s wrong. Take the other day. We were on our way down south (for our 19th anniversary meeting getaway). ...
From Christmas to colon cleansing
Christmas happened, and in fact was the most stress-free Christmas dinner that I’ve hosted. I know! Can you believe it?! What? I don’t look hysterical do I? Oh. Just my hair… The day started with me waking my teenage son so we...
Not acting anymore
Isn’t it interesting that when you let go of something, the something happens! I’ve been appointed to the job I’ve been doing for the last year (after acting for two years in a similar position the years before). My boss wrote a lo...
What to say to someone with cancer
It’s horrible news. It takes you out of your comfort zone. Your easy relationship of the past has gone. Suddenly all the rules have changed. Your friend could be dying. Suddenly you don’t know what to say. Big C is in the room. But ha...
Good thing you can’t read my mind
Don’t you hate it when someone asks you: ”Well what do you think?” Be it a new car, tv, dress, pair of jeans, website, quality of card play or haircut it is a minefield most of us fear to tread. Cars for instance. For me they ar...
How embarrassment!
This my lime tree - in flower again while on some branches ripe fruit hangs. I think it’s confused. It really has nothing to do with this post except to say if you sucked on a wedge of lime your face might resemble the look on the person’...
Overheard - an unusual request
“I’ve told my husband, if I lose my mind completely, get Alzheimers or something, lose the power of speech… I’ll still want sex.” ShareThis...
The chicken of discontent
This is our bed. Pretty ordinary. You’ll note the second duvet as required by the freezing cold mornings lately. What I see when I look at this bed is that Groover is not angry with me. I’m in his good books. So what is the sign that...
