The packing up and moving saga entered its second major day today. While I’ve been getting rid of stuff and making preparations for the last couple of weeks, the serious hard core work has started this weekend. My fabulous friend James O’Brien (now aka “the big butch Aussie bloke”) came back again and helped out. [...]
Moving is hell!
Haven’t had a chance to update my website lately…or do much of anything else. After a decade of living here, I have to move out. I have a decade worth of crap (and more) to sort through, box up and move. It is a nightmare. I’ve been working on it for a couple of weeks [...]
Would you give a little bit of Attention To Me?
I’m having a “Nolans” moment earlier today. Last night it was a “Mamma Cass” moment and I’m morphing into having a “Kim Wilde” moment right now. It’s been a strange few days. I’ve been sick with a cold, had a day off work, had a day at work feeling like a zombie and now have [...]
Look who’s back!
it was a nice surprise to see him at my local supermarket this week. Surrounded by hundreds of packets of “chippies”. The famous Gobbledok seems to be making a return to Smiths Chips advertising. And about time. I love the Gobbledok. He likes chippie, chippie, chippies even more than I do! “The Gobbledok is a [...]
En Enda Röst
I bought this song many years ago in a second hand record shop in Sweden. I played it a lot even though I had no idea what the lyrics were about, let alone the title of the song. I later found out it is called something like “A Single Voice” and that it was a [...]
Not my birthday
I’m barely out of bed this morning and someone just rang me and started singing happy birthday to me and then hung up. It’s not my birthday. It’s going to be one of those days, isn’t it?
1% Inspiration and 99% C.B.B.
I keep being reminded that I haven’t updated my blog. Yes, it has been a couple of weeks. What can I say, doing this website is 1% Inspiration and 99% Can’t Be Bothered sometimes. I’ve been waiting for the 1% inspiration to show up! Sure I’ve had things to write about. And pictures to go [...]
“Hazel, we’ve got lesbians”
No, this is not an episode of the UK “Queer As Folk,” this is the wedding of JudgeG’s niece to her same sex partner last weekend. Yoda and I were down in Canberra for the festivities along with about 100 other guests. It was big, big, big! A string trio, specially designed outfits, a candlelit [...]
9 hours in my undies
What a strange day it’s been. I’m hoping to head off to bed soon and forget the whole thing! Tomorrow we have a small, but expectant gathering of the faithful to watch a DVD of the final of Melodifestivalen 2010 in a nearby pub. As I write this, the final hasn’t even commenced. In fact, [...]
The Dugites….Waiting
Sometimes I just have to face up to it…I don’t agree with a lot of people a lot of the time. Rather than wimp out and change my opinion to something more “acceptable”, I’d rather just be true to myself. And such is the case with this song. The Dugites “Waiting” (seen below from 1981). [...]
