Yes I know, it should really read a flock of seagulls or more correctly a colony of seagulls. But that doesn't quite convey the feeling I had of seeing a flock descend on the houses around me. It felt like a swarm. Maybe it is just my dislike of seagulls manifesting that leads me to describe them… Continue reading A Swarm of Seagulls

Stuck on a treadmill?
I don't run with scissors. Actually, let's be honest, I don't run (unless it's an emergency - then you'd better run too!). But if I were to take up running (for any other reason than being late), I'd want to run in a park, on a track, down the street even and not on a treadmill! To me that just means… Continue reading Stuck on a treadmill?
Mining & Minecraft
My boys have discovered Minecraft. Ok, enabled by me, since I purchased the App. But, nonetheless they have discovered the joy of creating houses and farms, towers and castles and anything else that captures their imagination. Mining is an essential element of the game (apparently, I'm still coming up to speed with the intricacies of… Continue reading Mining & Minecraft
Living the Dream
Whenever I ask one of my colleagues at work how he's doing, he always replies the same. "Living the dream mate, living the dream." I must say, he says it rather facetiously. But is he? Am I? Are you? Truth be told, we are already on some level living the dream. We are already living in… Continue reading Living the Dream
Stepping out
"Reach high, for the stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal." Do you have a dream inside of you? A dream that has not yet taken flight? Is it time to step out of the boat and pursue it? Is it time to be brave? I don't know if the Apostle… Continue reading Stepping out
The Unintentional Destination
Have you ever been driving a car and realise you can't remember how you got there? Or worse still, like me, you are heading for one destination, yet find yourself heading somewhere entirely different. I did it on the way to work once - found myself on the road to the local mall! Hmm, must… Continue reading The Unintentional Destination
Distraction in Disguise
I've taken to watching "The Voice Australia". The "battles" have started as 2 singers are pitted against other, singing the one song. At the end of it the Judges select one contestants to go through to the next stage. This week, two very different singers were paired for their battle. The first was incredibly extroverted and confident. She had an… Continue reading Distraction in Disguise
Detours
There seems to be road works on all sides of us at the moment. Roads are closed and detours put in place on two of the routes we use frequently. Ironically, on one of the detour routes there were further disruptions due to road works occurring on the detour road! Not that the boys minded as… Continue reading Detours
She’s a dreamer
Dream. Create. Be
I’m standing in a tiny pharmacy, waiting for my prescription. Unlike the large Pharmacy around the corner that sells a wide range of products from toys to makeup and scarves, this pharmacy pretty much sticks to the medical essentials – the prescription drugs, the off the counter medicines, first aid treatments and vitamins. The Shop… Continue reading Dream. Create. Be
