Life & Experiences
Though I’m not exactly sure what they are, the back laneway is full of these at the moment. Are they gumnuts? There’s lots of them, and I think they’re absolutely gorgeous. Should I pick one up and taste it? They look like they might make the basis for a tasty jam.
Either way, they’re a sign that autumn has arrived in Sydney. A couple of times in the last week, there has been a definite chill in the air.… Read the rest “Life Right Now”
I was half expecting to see a new exhibition at Sydney’s White Rabbit Gallery when Sue and I popped in there today.

I say almost, because, to be honest, the latest exhibition, “Vile Bodies” doesn’t really do it for me.… Read the rest “Vile Bodies at White Rabbit”
I had no real plans for the day, aside from a bit of house-cleaning, reading and some catch-up TV. It’s been a busy week at work, and I have another busy one ahead of me. On top of that, there’s the possibility of the Federal Election being called tomorrow which will involve some time in at work also. So my big plan for day was to do nothing much at all.
But then half way through the morning, I got a text message from my friend Kate.… Read the rest “Saturday Surprise”
