There was someone missing this week. Someone who should have been there to celebrate the life milestone of a daughter getting a licence. Someone who should have sat me after the Senior Soiree, where his daughter displayed her art and sang her heart out, dissecting the evening with pride. Someone who should have suffered with me through … [Read more...]
Tonight’s Musical Selection
My career as an international spy has hit a road block. Clearly I suck at filming surveillance videos. But sticking with my whole quantity not quality theme this month I am posting it anyway. I think I've managed to adjust the positioning so you no longer need to lie down on your side to watch, and the focus improves slightly when Princess Child … [Read more...]
So I Was Going To Blog …
I had plans for blogging today. They went something like this ... A heartfelt piece on my daughter passing her driving test and being able to drive unaccompanied, but that turned out to be a little more emotional than I was bargaining on, so it's still sitting in "drafts". A nice piece on my daughter's artwork that was on display at the … [Read more...]
Rainbows
The Rainbow Connection Written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow … [Read more...]
Maudlin

Pressure
I have exactly 14 minutes to write and publish a post. If I fail to do so the world will end! OK I may be exaggerating. If I fail to do so I will fail at my self-imposed goal of posting every day in June. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I set myself challenges only to freak out if I don't complete them. After all in the grand … [Read more...]
Letter to the Husband
Dear Simon, How's things with you? All harp music and fluffy clouds? Just a few things you've missed, the Blues won Origin, Ford has sacked 230 workers so manufacturing is in even more trouble, nobody likes the Lib's budget and Kim Kardashian got married. Kardashian ... the reality TV ... oh never mind. I took a quiz tonight, the how will … [Read more...]

Practically Useless
You learn a lot about yourself when you suddenly find yourself partner-less after 24 years in a relationship. It turns out I'm really quite useless when it comes to anything practical. It's not that this is a huge surprise to anyone because, well I've always been that way, but when you had an in-house Mr Fix-it (or stuff-it-upper depending on … [Read more...]
