I have been absent from regular blogging for a while as life at our home has become utterly chaotic with the arrival of two more puppies (this is without our four rescue cats!). We found them under...
I was reminded of my passion for Aboriginal art when I was going through my photo files so, again for something a bit different, here’s a collection of photos I’ve gathered over the years of...
I was going through my photo files the other day and came across pics I’d forgotten I had of odd animal friendships. The photos have been circulated through the internet and you’ve probably seen...
I clean forgot to mention before that the first time I went for a swim and overcame my fear that I might not be able to get out of the pool (a quite unfounded fear so I’m glad I faced up to it and...
This is not going to be a popular thing to say, but you’ll pardon me if I start by saying I am SO over the hysteria of Western governments and media about the Pussy Riot trial and the mayhem in...
I know I was banging on about fibromyalgia a post or so back, but on the whole I do have to say that Aphrodite’s Isle has been a rather good place for me to live. Yes, I do have flare-ups of fibro...
The day before yesterday I had a cow of a day as I had a flare-up of fibromyalgia. You feel grim, depressed, muscles are very painful and you get foghead when you can’t think straight. You have no...
We are coming to the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan (or Ramazan as it’s called here in North Cyprus) when people fast from daybreak to sunset. Families fix up big meals first thing in the...
You can tell I’m getting a lot out of my system after a couple of weeks of not being able to write on my computer, can’t you?What got me going on this subject was seeing an article about it in a...
Now for something completely different, folks – I simply had to express my delight at watching huge, bumblebees pottering around the flowers in our garden. It’s decades since I saw a bumblebee so I...
I started writing this little rave a couple of weeks ago. But I got interrupted by my computer going belly-up and going in for repairs which took a week, and then a major snafu with my Gmail...
As I mentioned in my blog about the Heart & Soul Expo here in North Cyprus, Bryan had a reading with a Scottish medium who was incredibly accurate, insightful and uplifting. He seemed drawn to her...
I was reminded to write about food here because this morning we raided the huge fruit and vegie shop at the top of our road to top up our supplies. It is always packed with customers and is very,...
Yesterday we went to a Heart and Soul exhibition at the Acapulco Resort which is on the east side of Kyrenia. We are now pretty much in summer, glorious sunny days, the Mediterranean is like a...
I must admit to you who read my blogs that I dithered before embarking on my previous post about wild, witchy, wise women. I worried about being outspoken and being angry, particularly as I believe...
Around the age of 27 years, I looked into the future and all I could see was myself taking the pill and no children. I knew deeply from an early age that my life would lie outside the home and...
This morning I spent a few minutes viewing a really candid, thoughtful, challenging video by a guy called Philip Gould. He made the video as he approached his own death in a few weeks, and...
I have noticed when looking at Facebook in recent times that there are vast quantities of motivational messages – to be the best, not to let any day pass without achieving something, finding one’s...
This evening I finally remembered to take a couple of pics of the stunning sunsets we can see from our apartment. I love being back in the Northern Hemisphere because I’m far more in tune with...
The other day we went to check out a cafe in a lovely spot on a cliff overlooking the coast of North Cyprus close to Kyrenia. It was a beautiful day, bright sunshine, and the view across the...
We are in the process of moving – from the mid-north coast of New South Wales to North Cyprus in the Mediterranean. Our bags are packed and we’re ready to fly, to pinch the phrasing from the Peter,...
Debris on bridge We live on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Australia, and in this area and the next one along the coast, we have some very large rivers – Hastings, McLeay, Nambucca,...
I often think of the low-paid workers – wherever they are, whether it’s China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Fiji or hidden away in Western countries – when I buy low-cost clothing or hear about the...
I came across this creative art website via a friend who’s also into astrology. It looks absolutely fascinating, so I thought I’d share it here if you’re interested. I did try sharing via a link...
Here in Australia we’ve been enjoying watching a TV programme from the UK called “Country House Rescue”. It involves a successful hotelier, Ruth Watson, visiting people with old country houses that...
I am delighted to announce the arrival in my wardrobe of this – ahem – extremely bright, colourful coat, picked up on sale at TS14+ . As you can see, this packs a punch! My husband reeled back as I...
