OK a bit late today with Monday Morning Photo, let's just call it Monday Arvo photo for this week. Not sure if I've shown you this one before, but hope you enjoy it anyway. Here's to a fun filled and productive week for everyone. … [Read more...]
Weekly Photo Challenge – My Neighbourhood
This week the WordPress photo challenge was a phoneography one. We had to take our phones and explore our neighbourhood. Tough one for me. This means I have to take the photos and not my talented brother with his high-quality camera. When I first moved to Port Macquarie I searched for a house that I would be happy to live in until, well probably … [Read more...]
Ham, Spiders and International Women’s Day
As I was packing ham and cheese sandwiches for my daughters' lunches a cheery announcer on the TV was telling me that preserved meat may be linked to cancer. I tried not to think about the chicken wrapped in prosciutto last night or the caesar salad dotted with bacon a couple of dinners ago. Right, another thing to bear in mind, stop feeding the … [Read more...]
Household Tips For The Domestically Challenged
I'm not sure how it happened. One minute I was keeping my surname, planning a career, ready to take on the world the next I was living in the suburbs with two little aliens (some people would call them children, they would be wrong). The irony of my becoming a housewife induced side-splitting laughter amongst my friends. Me, the woman who served … [Read more...]
Monday Morning Photo – Sailing Away
It's been raining all weekend again. The beaches are full of debris. There's been some more minor flooding. At least one business I know of isn't reopening in the short-term - one flood too many for them a couple of weeks ago - left them with no stock and a lot of damage. So to everyone living and running businesses in the flooding zones - hang … [Read more...]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Lost in the Details
I don't think we have played along with the Wordpress Weekly Photo Challenge this year, and it's March! Not sure how that happened. When I saw the topic lost in the details I doubted my brother would have a suitable shot given his focus on surfing, landscape and wildlife shots. However, we were in luck, he must have been overcome with a bit of my … [Read more...]
Winning, Losing and Everything In Between
This month the family and I have eaten our body weight in a particular ice-cream confectionary. There's still a few more boxes to get through before we have completed the challenge. Then I don't think any of us will ever eat one again. You see there's a competition, you could win $100,000. So in the hope of winning, I've been buying specially … [Read more...]
Monday Morning Photo
After the wild weather on the weekend our ocean is a brown, foamy mess, so nice to have this photo to remind us of how it will be beautiful again, once the storms clear. I hope your weekend was brilliant and your week ahead is awesome. … [Read more...]
Reading This Week – Sisters of Mercy – Caroline Overington
This year I am again taking part in the Australian Women Writers Challenge. This means I am committing to reading six books by Australian female writers and reviewing at least four of them. The first cab off the rank is Sisters of Mercy by Caroline Overington. Two sisters, raised apart unaware they had a sibling, are reunited after their … [Read more...]
Five Moment Memoir
How's this for an idea? If you struggle with finding the time to journal (or write a lengthy word count blog) how about having a crack at a five-moment memoir. Freelance writer Sarah Beauchamp wrote about her concept of journalling in Oprah Magazine. Basically she forced herself to write down five things that happened each day, both the … [Read more...]
