It’s my special day today. To be fair, the older I get, the less significance this is to me but what I do enjoy are the chats and messages from family and friends on the day. I’m on the phone a lot because it rings throughout the day. This morning Andrew surprised me with a […]
Incredible Dreams
I’ve had some weird but incredible dreams the last couple of nights. Last night I dreamt I was celebrating a wedding reception at a restaurant in Greece. I didn’t know anyone there as I sat down with guests and conversed with them. They were surprised at my level of Greek. I later find out that […]
A New Outdoor Gym
Last night I had a shocking night’s sleep. I had some weird dreams of being snowed in (no idea why as I haven’t seen snow in many years). However, I got up, donned the gym gear and drove to a nearby park. I recall my mum letting me know that an outdoor gym had been […]
Enjoying Golf
Yesterday afternoon I had my second on course golf clinic with a few other ladies. I signed up for the Woodlands Golf Course Women’s Introductory Program which is a program involving classes, on course clinics, private lessons and mentoring where we each have one of the lady members help us learn the ropes of the […]
Tessa Furniture
Some time ago, I was introduced to Tessa furniture from a friend of a friend, and I fell in love with it. Tessa Furniture is (was) an iconic name in Australian furniture manufacturing. The furniture was heavily influenced by Scandinavian designs and were well designed and crafted to quality standards. The factory was open in […]
Visit to the Fang Bosun
Fang Bosun. Now there’s a blast from the past. That’s the Naval term for “dentist”. I hadn’t been to the fang bosun for a while. Imagine when the dentist looked over his glasses at me and said, “well we haven’t seen you since 2018”. That took me by my surprise. “Wow, it feels like I […]
Social Media Hiatus…Again
So we are back home from a weekend away and reality hits me like a ton of bricks. Last night, I got online and scanned through my Twitter feeds and became quickly disheartened once again with the state of politics in this country, the thousands of people displaced by the flood (a second time) in […]
Goodbye Castlemaine
Our last day in Castlemaine to end a weekend away, saw us head up to the hill to the old Castlemaine Gaol. It was built in the 1860s and permanently closed in the 1960s but now, it’s in the process of being made into different artisan workshops. Certainly last time I was there, there weren’t […]
Maldon Meanderings
Today we drove 15 minutes away to the township of Maldon and felt we were in a time warp back to 1853. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the hotel chatting with the owner and while I was waiting for the bread to toast, I perused the shelves and found the perfect book for Andrew! […]
