I bought these flowers to celebrate Frank coming home and my birthday – I thought they looked nice in the late afternnon wintry golden light. Mum gave me the glass jug for Christmas after we spotted it together in a second-hand shop in Bendigo.
I’ve had a fair bit going on since my last post—and I [...]

I want to write something about the fires here in Victoria, but I don’t know where to begin.
I mainly want to let you know that none of my family or personal friends are directly affected – so at least I am doing that.
My friend Kelly has also [...]

I am very proud and honoured to present to you recorded messages from bloggers from around the world.
I introduced this project in my post Bloggers Recording Project, in November. Sixteen bloggers have answered the call, and I and my partner Frank have done recordings, too.

This is a relatively small festival—about 2000 people go. The site is in the foothills of the Victorian Alps, not far from the [...]

I had a conversation with my mother the other night about the creative process, and I thought ah-hah!… I could write about this.
She was saying how she came up with a poem about apples a few years ago, while driving through apple orchards and then on homewards (she lives in the country). [...]

Well… I haven’t really, exactly. In that I can’t prove it. I’m 55 at the moment and so have not proved one can live forever. But then it’s something that can’t be proven anyway—a person could live to be 300 years old and die the next day.
But I thought I’d tell the story of how [...]

It’s not Friday the 13th today, but it was the other day.
Our plumbing got blocked and we had a crowd coming over on Saturday the 14th.
We rent our house, so should have been able to ask the estate agent to get it fixed, but we knew from experience that it wasn’t going to happen in [...]

I was starting to worry I would not be able to think of anything to put in my next “Moments” installment… now THAT’S not exactly “living in the present moment”, is it?! (he he)
So I did some homework and…
When I really allow myself to just exist in the present moment—whether I am doing something or [...]
