Blessings

Today I am thankful for my family and friends. Today was a very sad day at work after a colleague killed himself. We knew he was in trouble. We knew he was getting the best help available.........but it wasn't enough. What drove him so far that not even the thought of his young son could keep him on earth. Take time to be with family and friends -you dom't know what is around the corner

MIA

Been missing for some years now as I have been busy with many things
Last post 2007 hmmmm Egypt, Peru, Antarctica and soon Canada and Alaska.
Nephew has been camping with us for 3 years
Halz is now at La Trobe doing accounting. Aren't we the proud parents, 1. because our bright child gets to go to uni and 2. because it is the uni we went to
Lahn has danced through the years and Rock Eistedfod when it has been on and is in year 10
For Rajan it has been bowls, bowls and more bowls
Other than travel my other passions have been Mulberry Gardens - vice president in the house and food swaps with Sustainable Fawkner

Another book for September

The deeds of the Disturber/ Elizabeth Peters
Another great Amelia Peabody mystery set in England with Egyptian theme

Rock Eisteddfod 2007 Brunswick Secondary wins!

Last night was the grand final of the premier division and the stellaric rise of Brunswick Secondary College continued.
First they won the small school division then the open division and one year later the premier division.
The imagery was brilliant and stark, the stilt walkers magnificent. It was different to anything else on offer.
Well done to Katherine and Co for the fantastic vision. We look forward to next years offering with much anticipation.
My throat hurts from all the cheering.
