| 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. |
| going to the library in your pjs | January 14, 2009 | A momentous event occurred late this afternoon. I became a card carrying member of the Bundaberg Regional Library. This is the local council library. Apparently now, with last year’s council mergers I can also borrow books from Gin Gin, Childers and Woodgate if I’m every out that way. Exciting. Why momentous I hear you ask? […] |

| the fence man is coming | January 12, 2009 | I’m so excited. The fence man has just called to say he is coming on Thursday to start my front fences. At the moment my front yard has been cleared of trees except one in preparation. This means the minute I step out the front door I’m on show for whole street to see, which […] |
| Look don’t rock | January 11, 2009 | I’m tremendously excited to take temporary possession of this family rocking chair. It belonged to my great grandmother on my mother’s father’s side of the family. She died the year I was born so I have never knew her. This was one of the few items my mother salvaged when the family sold off the […] |

| if it’s Friday this must be Bundaberg? | January 2, 2009 | I always think the time between Christmas and New Year is a little weird. Particularly because I tend to lose track of what day it is. For instance, knowing full well today is Friday, but waking up thinking it should be Monday, because yesterday (being a public holiday) felt like Sunday (when really it was […] |
| a little wireless happy dance | December 29, 2008 | Well here’s some excitement! For me anyway. I am sitting on the lounge with my laptop using the internet through my wireless connection. I know that anybody who’s anybody is probably thinking “get with it Wendy, we’ve all been doing for, like, years” but I haven’t. So do a little wireless happy dance for me. |

| Boxing Day random Beatles’ references | December 25, 2008 | “I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink” Well it feels like that anyway. Perhaps Christmas was a little too much excitement for me. Thankfully there is now the nothingness of Boxing Day in which to recover. I intend to read a book whilst lying on the lounge with the airconditioning blasting. The cricket shall […] |
