Thoughts on losing my Father
Life and loss You may, (or may not), have noticed that I’ve been missing in action in the blogosphere recently. I haven’t blogged, I haven’t read many blogs, I haven’t commented or interacted, I haven’t shared or participated in any group threads and you know what, I make no apologies for my absence. Sometimes life, or in this case, death,…

As I have enjoyed being a guest blogger a number of times, I decided to start a new feature on my blog and share some interesting people with you.

Layers of Life
Life is like an onion: you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep. I am probably cheating a bit here by not sharing one of my own photos for this week’s photo challenge, instead I am sharing an old photo of my beautiful parents in the bloom of their life. Why? I am reminded of…

Worth a Word Wednesday: What a wonderful world!
Wordless Wednesday – now renamed Worth a Word Wednesday Keep your feet on the ground and your head in the clouds!

Thursday Doors – 19 January 2017
The horse float door I spotted this door while out walking recently. Our little town (Tumbarumba) is quite a horsey place and at the time there was a week long pony club camp happening with youngsters and horses everywhere. It’s usually a stinking hot week and this year was no exception! The camp culminates in a parade down the main…

What’s your value? I know mine!
If they don’t respect, appreciate and value you, then they don’t deserve you. I thought I’d share with you the cover of our 13th edition of our Authors & Artists of Mannus, which has arrived hot off the printing presses. Every year since 2004 our literacy teacher Debbie Gadd, with my support as Senior Correctional Education Officer, has compiled an…
Contemplation – Week 14: Challenges
Hello! I really enjoy Desleyjane’s weekly contemplation posts as they make me think about things – which I suppose is what contemplation is all about! Each week desleyjane gives us a prompt from her journal and this week it is: What challenge did you overcome today? I admit to feeling very challenged lately, about all sorts of things. My challenge…
Weekly photo challenge: Happy/sad faces
Happy or sad faces? Here are two smiley faces but are they really happy faces? Sometimes smiles can be deceiving and if you knew the background to this photo you would wonder how they could smile at all, given the news they had received that day. The champagne is also a bit of a throw off – are they toasting…
Wordless Wednesday 11/5/16
Welcome to Wordless Wednesday I don’t usually add words to these Wordless Wednesday posts believing that the picture tells the story but today is a bit different. The quote used with my photo is very fitting at the moment. This article tells a story which affects me and my colleagues. I rarely, if ever, talk about my work in my…
