So, after swanning around Magnetic Island on the Providence, and staring out at a marina full of lovely boats for six days from our apartment, we’ve come back home to our view of the Bay with a hankering for a boat again. There is a massive expanse of coastal waterways to explore on our doorstep, […]
Fifteen months ago I stopped eating animal and poultry meat. So far, so good. I’ve had a few teeny tiny bits of bacon in a quiche, an accidental consumption of some chicken in what I thought was a vegetarian rice roll, and two, crust-less and dolls-house-sized, ham sandwiches at High Tea……even I can’t survive on cake […]

My initial reaction was […]
Pop the kettle on, grab a few biscuits or some pieces of fruit, and pull up a chair, because I want to chew some fat (and some lean) with you, in a longish post. When I look back at old news reels from the seventies they always seem to be populated by very slim people, it’s […]

When I was a kid this was the sort of programming that shaped my personality for better or worse, and it’s refreshing to be reminded of […]
Quick Tip: Stay Regular by michelle w. on February 21, 2013 – Posted In The WordPress Daily Post This is the sort of ‘prompt’ that makes me really want to spit the dummy and pull the plug on WordPress, I am, as was once famously exclaimed in a meeting in one of my former workplaces, incandescent with rage.

“Think Global, Act Local” But What If It Feels Like Too Little Too Late? I’ve been MIA from WordPress for over two weeks now so this Daily Prompt is well and truly old hat already; the dog did not eat my homework but a power outage did fry our modem on the 27 January and […]
