Changes
This last year has seen some changes in my life. In many of my former posts, Andrew has featured, having done many trips around Australia together, along with some longer travels overseas. We have now gone our separate ways, (but do still catch up from time to time). Initially it was rather strange but time passes, we move on, and life falls into ( Read more... ) -
Something In The Air
This summer seems to have been endless. Month after month of heat and suffocating humidity have left me drained. Oh I know there will be some of you reading this wishing that you could have our weather, but when you are living and working with it all of the time, it really can be exhausting. Summer was dry and over 70% of the state of Queensland ( Read more... ) -
I'm Back!
It has been SO so long since I was here that I have almost forgotten how to make a post! I was prompted to get back on lj by isledemoi who kindly sent me a message asking me to come back. I had been thinking about it but his prompt certainly helped me to put fingers to keypad...and here I am ( Read more... ) -
Tempus Fugit
Every now and again I get sudden feelings of guilt at not posting here. But why? I have a paid account, and really, is it such an effort to put up a few pictures and to share some of what is going on in my day? I guess we all have little spare time in our lives, but I have decided that rather than see this as a chore I can use it to focus for a few ( Read more... ) -

Australia Day
Today is Australia Day, our National Day of celebration. Being a public holiday a lot of people have the day off to celebrate in their own way. It usually involves getting together with mates and family, having a BBQ, an adequate number of beers and generally having a good time.
Happy Australia Day!

Iron Lady
Last night we took ourselves to see the new Meryl Streep movie, The Iron Lady. After we recovered from the price of the ticket ($17 each) and the fact that the cinema was like a large home theatre, we settled back to watch it. We didn't really have any ideas what angle the film would take, but the focus was mostly on Maggie Thatcher's dementia with ( Read more... ) -
I'm here!
I've just realised that as I continue to read everyone elses journals I haven't posted for some weeks now. To be honest, not a lot has been going on and I've had very little to talk about. It's been a case of getting back to normal after Christmas and getting back into work after a very quiet period. This weekend was my first weekend off since ( Read more... ) -
In The Red!
As the new year gets underway the weather here has finally decided to warm up. Not that I want it to get any warmer; 28c and moderate humidity is just nice, but it seems that we are in for 30c +. At least it's not like some areas that are over 40c. UGH! Today I noticed that the poinciana trees have almost spent their blooms. Just a sign that the ( Read more... )
