We’d be all the poorer without our wonderful local ABC Radio stations. When I was on tour with Get Reading I chatted to ABC presenters in four states and they were all so welcoming and friendly. It’s always lovely to come home to my ABC – Far North ABC – with presenters who brighten my Continue reading

Hello? Is this working?
Well now isn’t this fun! Helene’s crook in bed with a dreaded summer cold (kept me awake half the night coughing and carrying on. You don’t see dogs behaving like that…sniff..) Anyway, the thing is she left her computer turned on and within easy reach. Seems typing isn’t as hard as I thought it would Continue reading
Wonder Woman gets a make-over

Dr Joe Forgas, an Australian, is making headlines in the UK (and England may have some experience with grumpy old Continue reading
‘Plastiki’ – Message in a bottle?
Check out ‘Plastiki’ at – http://www.theplastiki.com/lo-fi/ – It’s a catamaran built from recycled plastic drink bottles and set to sail from the USA to Sydney. I remember going to see the Kon-tiki when I was very young so when I saw the name Plastiki in an ABC article I had to read further. Plastic Boats aren’t Continue reading
