| Madam Vice-President and Music coordinator | February 6, 2009 | I have an eisteddfod meeting this evening. It’s now ten years since I returned to Bundaberg and started helping out with the local music eisteddfod. Growing up as a child here and learning music it was one of the highlights of the year (that combined with the annual AMEB exams). So I was more than […] |
| an impromptu visit to the antique shop | January 31, 2009 | I think I might be a compulsive shopper. Or perhaps an impulsive shopper. That sounds nicer doesn’t it? Take me to any shop and I can find something I want to buy. This morning apart from buying groceries (boring) I have also bought the following.1. Four songs on iTunes. I had 8 dollars sitting there […] |

| Three things | January 30, 2009 | I love getting stuff in the post…you know the actual letterbox. It’s especially exciting when the parcel man arrives and toots his horn outside.

| the coffee fussbudget goes shopping | January 24, 2009 | It was the usual Saturday morning shopping expedition today. Except for one vital difference.

| Squawking Sunday | January 18, 2009 | Every January the corkwood tree outside my loungeroom flowers in a riot of purple and the birds arrive. They spend the day screeching, squawking and generally squabbling amongst themselves for the best pick of the flowers. It’s wonderful just to sit and watch them. |
