It's amazing how an item, place, sound, smell even, can transport you back years to your childhood. Suddenly your mind is flooded with memories good or bad, but hopefully good! My workmate had it happen when our workplace installed a door bell that reminded him of his grandparents' home. I had it walking into my parents' home… Continue reading Memory Lane

The Power of One….Mosquito!
I had a terrible night sleep. If the humidity and heaviness of the air wasn't bad enough my room was also invaded by a powerful fiend....the mosquito.Having stirred, my ears registered the faint hum of the mosquito which got louder as it neared me. I tried to ignore it but couldn't. Light was turned on… Continue reading The Power of One….Mosquito!
She speaks from the heart
I’ve got my glasses on!
It is probably no surprise that the inspiration for this blog entry comes from a Wiggles song. With a 2 year old who is absolutely devoted to all things Wiggles my days always include Wiggles music. Not surprisingly the tunes and the lyrics then tend to get stuck in my head. Yesterday it was the Propeller, today though it was "I've got my… Continue reading I’ve got my glasses on!

Times & Seasons
If I want to know what season it is, I just have to look out my window at the Oak tree in my front garden. This Oak tree embraces the seasons with unashamed boldness. In Autumn it sheds leaves with such ferocity that neighbours down the street are also sweeping up the leaves that have… Continue reading Times & Seasons
Happy Valentine’s Day
Lost & Found
Yesterday just as we were due to depart for school, my 6 year old alerted me to the fact that he couldn’t find his prescription glasses. His brand new, expensive glasses. My mind raced to when I last saw them – panic – when we were at soccer training. Suddenly my day changed. I switched… Continue reading Lost & Found
