The back yard make-over is almost finished! We still have some re-planting to do and a path of pavers to lay, but hopefully the drainage issues are solved. Next time we get 200 mms of rain in a day Zeus won’t have wet feet! (And GW and I won’t be waiting apprehensively with brooms to Continue reading

A rod by any other name?
I understand why editors cringe at some of the analogies writers use to describe intimate male body parts. The poor old penis finds itself being called a rod, a member, a dick, shaft, schlong, old fella, wedding tackle – all in the pursuit of making it sound sexy and masterful and alluring or, at the Continue reading
And still the world turns
It was another glorious sunrise this morning and the first one in a few days I’ve been able to appreciate. I felt a twinge of sadness as it faded into the ordinary light of day. I know I’ll never see another quite the same. The golden intense light rippling over dark and troubled water will Continue reading
Procrastinator! Who me?
It’s a day off and I woke to the sound of rain tap-dancing on the iron roof. All I wanted to do was snuggle back down and sleep, but if I didn’t get out of bed and see GW before he went to work our paths would barely cross again until tomorrow evening – and Continue reading
Pardon my absence…
My blog’s a little quiet at the moment so I hope you’ll forgive me. I haven’t forgotten you, but I need to clone myself to get everything done in the next few weeks, including page edits for Burning Lies! Meanwhile I’m being diverted by our search for the perfect catamaran so we can start the Continue reading

This wonderful initiative has been embraced by libraries and all levels of government right around Australia. Last Tuesday I went to a ‘meet and greet’ for the reading champions in Cairns – there Continue reading
Good news day
Yesterday was a very good day. Started well when both GW and I remembered it was our 24th wedding anniversary – who could believe we looked so young when we married all those years ago… Unfortunately we both had to work, so that put a tiny dampener on the day. Celebrations were very low key Continue reading
Storm Front
Shortly after I took this photo the heavens opened and our Weipa ground staff ended up very wet as they worked to dispatch us…
Join me for the QWC Year of the Novel 2012
I’m a bit of a sucker for writing courses and workshops. I love the feel good glow as I’m blinded by the multitude of light bulbs going off in my mind. I love the inspiration that floods through me – even when it leaves me incapable of putting words on the page for several weeks. Continue reading
A spammer’s life…
Briefly (and embarrassingly) yesterday I joined the ranks of spammers. When I woke up in the morning it wasn’t on my To Do List. In fact it’s never been on a TD list and hopefully won’t be again. There were important things on my list – mow the grass, do my aircraft manual amendments, pay Continue reading
