The Mad Artist

Hi all! With just over one week to go to the opening night, I am feeling a little anxious. Will anyone turn up? Will anything sell? Will I cope with the teenager starting his final year at high school (LOL)? 
This is my last exhibition as a hobby artist - and presents an opportunity to purchase […]

Not being a heavy drinker, and really concerned about drinking and driving, it was with much delight that I discovered the most marvelous champagne in my local bottleshop. Marketed by Yellowglen, it is called Jewel and contains only 3.6 standard drinks PER BOTTLE!!! Yep, no more worries about drinking and driving. No more problems with […]

Had a great sing and guitar […]

Hi all! Just gotta tell you about the great place I went to today with three of my girlfriends! It was a stunning sundrenched winters day and we all decided to check out the Purple Haze Cafe, Quayle Rd Wandin. Thinking it was something to do with Jimi Hendrix, I drove past the gorgeous winter […]

Hi Nookies - heres another one - I’m feeling a bit down in the dumps and I wrote this one a little while ago after my partner died.

I longingly

knowing you cannot answer me

In the clear quiet light of morning
I look upon your undented […]
