I love movies. I don’t do TV, not much. I enjoy political shows, comedies and nature programmes but I have zero tolerance for stuff like reality TV, tiresome soaps and those live chat shows where Average Joe goes on TV and exposes all his private business to the world. I have to confess though that for the first time [...]

Sheesh guys! I go away for a while to get ready for the reunion today and this place turns into ghost land. The only hits I’m getting are generated from that new automatically-generated thingy that WordPress added recently. Even the spammers have lost interest.
Anyway, to bring you up-to-date and make sure you haven’t forgotten me, [...]

Amazon Indians have been squaring up to the mighty corporations and the state in a bid to prevent the construction of a series of hydroelectric dams that are planned for the Xingu River.

Hubby was having a clear out and he had put this little table on the rubbish pile but I had other plans. This table has history in it. It’s been in our family for generations five years and has served us in a variety of ways. It’s been a nature table, a picnic table, a shield from a [...]

When I am cleaning up, I always play music and today my son chose for me. His current favourite song is Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin (yes, he has good taste in music) and he often puts it on repeat play. Interestingly, this song is often mistakenly accredited to Cat Stevens but Wiki puts us straight while [...]

My belly-dance teacher is on the road. It’s her daughter’s gap year and they’re both travelling the world (well, some of it) for six months. They are keeping a journal of sorts and they email little snippets every week which would be very interesting if only the envy would stop blinding me.

Sitting in on my son’s guitar lesson always amazes me. I love guitar music and when I was a child, my Grandad attempted to teach me how to play. I wish I had been more committed. I can barely remember anything from the random lessons I forced myself to sit through. You see, I wasn’t interested in learning. [...]

My daughter is taking her Grade 2 Ballet exam this week and these are the satin shoes that she will be wearing. I’ve just finished sewing on the ribbons. So far in her exams, she has achieved all A’s but I’m told it gets much tougher from hereonin. Not only are the dance steps more complex but the names of each position [...]
