An important Easter tradition
Hello. For many of us, Good Friday has less to do with religion and more to do with the Good Friday Appeal for the Royal Childrens Hospital. There’s the telethon that’s on the teev all day, firemen and random people popping up shaking tins and all manor of people raising money for the hospital. Good [...]
Actually, that’s how we all feel
Hello. As I was perusing facebook over my breakfast cuppa, this article about Fifi Box came to my attention. It says about Fifi not being prepared to be a mum. The article itself didn’t really worry me because that’s how most of us feel but the thing that really got to me was the comments [...]
Volunteer required
Hello I think I mentioned a little while ago, I learnt how to henna at a workshop. Heaps of fun and as a result I’ve been practising on myself, paper and random people I could get to sit still long enough. But the time has come. I need to try a pregnant belly. Something beautiful [...]

Fun and stuff and tattoos
Hello. On the weekend just past I took myself to a small town just out from where I live, to learn how to do henna or what some call mehndi. It’s using henna paste to draw temporary tattoos on the body. FUN! It’s something I’ve been wanting to learn more about for ages and as [...]
Stuff and things and stuff
Hello again This year I have set myself a little challenge. It’s not really one that I’ve told anyone about but still it’s there. It’s been to learn how to cook better and healthier. This is not to lose weight or anything in particular but just I’m over eating processed, chemically infused rubbish. So home [...]
Things that go astray
Hello. I know it’s been a while. Let me tell you why. Last post was about my returning to study. I seemed to be hassled by hurdle and hiccup after hurdle and hiccup. You name it, it got in the way of me actually getting there and studying. Stubbornly, I kept going, trying hard to [...]
