Approx 14 of 16 weeks.

15 mins. Love tubs. Lemon experiments, and searching for rusty bits.

I already had my 15 mins of fame a lifetime ago when living OS (ask me later) but it might happen twice. After calling the local Coona Newspaper to see if they had any creative projects I could assist with, instead, the editor was interested in my Digital Gypsy Tales story. So, this past week Emma, one of the writers dropped by for a bit of a chat. I've never been interviewed before so I can't wait to see the draft story. The plan is to be in the 2nd edition of the magazine • wattle • coming out Feb 23......well that will be a nice birthday gift.

Since I found Warrumbungle Organics store, I've been visiting every week to pick up at least one meal for lunch or dinner. Michelle is lovely and whips up the most spectacular curries. I'm so glad she's interested in my Edible Garden Book project. This past week I visited her at her property for a little afternoon yummy tea and low a behold found a love tub of strawberry plants.

Creative projects on the table these weeks include a couple of my pics framed for doggy Dotti's owners (hope they like them). A rusty sign project slowly coming together. Lemons, lemons, fermented....well over fermented but an interesting pic nonetheless, and lemon torta, doused with more lemons. Tang heaven.Lue lisää

Coonabarabran - that's a wrap

Oh Coona, I will miss thee.

I found so much unexpected solace in Coona. I didn't miss running around on trains, buses, Goget, or carshare. Quite the opposite as I found so much joy in looking up and out. Up to the clouds, the stars, the moon, and out to the hills and the mountains.

I experimented with preserving lemons, made tahini lemon cookies, and continue to perfect my almond meal crackers. I practiced piano consistently and had a nice little morning and afternoon routine with little Dotti.

Thank you Geoff and Kay Redman.

Next, it's back to the city for a couple of weeks of mayhem. Can I handle it?Lue lisää

Sydney loop
10. marraskuuta 2022, Australia ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
ok Sydney.

2 weeks flashed by, and most of it spent in the Apple store, on phone support, or trying to reach support. Went in to replace battery and they broke the logic board then mayhem ensued. Urggg! I’m never going to get that time back....It took so much away time supposed to be spent with family.

That rant over I cherished the little golden nuggets left spent with my sister and mum, brief catch-ups with a few friends here and there, and snippets and silliness with dad....not enough though.

.......aaaand recorded those 4 songs I’ve been practicing. Could only load a sample here. It's live, it's raw, and a bit clunky, pitchy, but I had fun and was able to utilize the rehearsal space available via the studios I still rent.

.....aaaaand I finished the rusty thing! Not sure the recipient will ever receive it but it was a satisfying project to complete.

Feeling disappointed by Apple but satisfied and grateful for the rest. Onwards.

PS. Thanks for everything Ele :)Lue lisää

Sawtell...again
15. marraskuuta 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
......stopped for a few days between Sydney and Murwillumbah at...you guessed it, Sawtell. Well not exactly Sawtell but Boambee...close enough.

Not much to tell but a little sand and sea. Blissful.

meanwhile in Toowoomba

Sometimes, well, almost all the time, you just have to try and make the most of it, and keep going.

I had work to complete so not much time to explore but in any case had a weee little help from when I was at 'Sandy Bottoms' (the last post). On my way up, had stopped for a break in Evans Head at a random coffee shop and had a bit of a chat to 2 most lovely owners....who, after asking where I'm from/where am I going, where ecstatic to tell me they met and fell in love in Toowoomba and then scribbled a handful of coffee shops to go to.

The housesit was not at all what was shown to me in terms of cleanliness, and even the sweet doggo was twice the size, and strength I might add, to what the pics showed, anyway, I'm here now....I've got some coffee shops to find.

As a bonus, I also found some interesting street art, a fabulous farmers market, and a nice pair of op shop binoculars. Boom.Lue lisää

What goes on in Booie stays in Booie.

Nahhh...a brief couple days passing through Esk and surrounds for an overnight break in Booie. What caught my eye was finding my garden, his place, and a lot of interesting but disappearing sign writing.Lue lisää

Highlight of Howard was the horses.

Next road break was a couple nights in Howard. Found a fabulous Airbnb, great hosts, great surrounds and a weird morning where I woke up at 4.44 and was compelled to take photos of tomatoes because the light was ‘just right’.Lue lisää

Week 2 of 5.

Flying donuts Batman!

When people said ‘why would you go to Rockhampton’, my answer was ‘why not’.

I’m working from home in a very comfortable, air conditioned home, with a pool, and lovely vistas. Makes things very easy to like where I am.

I’ve done a little exploring, had a lovely visitor, completed a short photo course (was good practice and a challenge), and I’m practicing my tennis serve (complete with my own ball retriever 😆).Lue lisää

I made another year!
A few interesting finds in the Rockies. One great highlight is the letterpress printer. The piece I choose was a commission piece for someone else but I liked it so much for that reason.

The rest was playful shenanigans with Pippa the pooch.Lue lisää
