Well rehearsals have started and now we are without Groover’s company two to three nights a week as he heads to Midland to rehearse for Blak Yak‘s upcoming production of Arsenic and Old Lace. (the season is in June – don’t miss it) This is Groover’s first foray into community theatre and he has to [...]
Groover
Last night at dinner we were discussing dominant partners in the couples we know. It’s pretty obvious (mostly) who calls the shots. Now I think Groover and I have a pretty equal relationship but it turns out I’m wrong. Very wrong. Yeah, we’re pretty equal… says Groover, as he forks in another mouthful of steak [...]
No. These fellows in the pool are not thespians. Well… they might be… but more likely they are miners. I’m in Karratha and that is the pool at the caravan park where I’m staying. And yes. I did slip into the water in my bikini. I stayed up my end though. Last night I was [...]
How cool is that? A rare sight in recent years…
It’s Groover’s birthday today and I bought him a… Food processor. He wanted one! Happy birthday darling – can’t wait to taste the results.

It’s a little bit embarrassing to admit this but I feel a little kernel of smug satisfaction when I’m right… and Groover’s wrong. Take the other day. We were on our way down south (for our 19th anniversary meeting getaway). A friend had kindly lent us her convertible and we were excited about exploring all [...]
A guest post from Groover: It was Oscar Wilde who penned the line, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars”. It’s a favourite of mine, along with many other Wilde quotes, but to me it perfectly describes the principle that it is not circumstance that defines us, [...]
I took this photo on our normal Saturday morning Cottesloe walk which is fast becoming a tradition for Groover and me. Could this couple be us in 40 years time? It’s kind of a scary and sweet thought mixed together…
