Sometimes people say nitwit type things that are annoying. Example: Nitwit: What are you going to do when you leave work? Me: Finish my Masters in Library and Information Science. Teach the piano. Nitwit: Oh lovely. I can just see you in a library. Now, you might be wondering, Wendy, what’s the problem with that […]

After reading the lovely @jackielb79 ‘s post I am going to share with you the things I would have rather done today too. 1. Slept in 2. Had a scrumptious breakfast instead of muesli. 3. Gone window shopping – or even real shopping! 4. Sewing 5. Reading for fun 6. Caught up on latest episodes […]

That’s right everyone. I have spent the day at my desk. This is my view.

For the last decade or so every Saturday morning I have gone out for breakfast and coffee with my Mum. Over the years there have been a variety of other companions – friends and family – but my Mum and I are the constants. We started off at Talking Point – a cafe now shut […]

This evening I am going to a concert as the page turner. Some very good local musicians are putting on a concert with all proceeds going to flood relief. Much of the city is still in a bad way with many many houses yet to have repair work begun. This is not a post about […]

Finally my flood damaged music room was completely ready to set back up this week after the last of O’Reilly’s men traipsed through the house leaving a trail of dirty footprints behind them.
