Having spent an evening in the company of a cat, my Groover is returned to me. “Did the cat punch you in the eye?” says my witty daughter. This is why we don’t have a cat. Maybe this song will make him feel better…

This is why. Ah the follies of youth. Of course none of us would go outside in the Perth sunshine, well known for its lethal properties and expose our skin to within an inch of the burns unit. Would we? Nahhhh. Well not without letting someone we trust apply the sunblock. My poor baby has [...]
A photo of me at the moment would not be a pretty sight so I’m distracting you with a lovely sunset. I am not a great patient. I am grumpy and tired and I’ve eaten too much today. Being home all day near a refrigerator is another bad idea. And I’m clumsy. As I was [...]
How good is this diet I’m on? In the last two weeks I’ve lost about four kilos, I’ve not given up wine and I get to have lunches like this. Smoked salmon and cream cheese wheels – easy and delicious – with a light salad. There was a light breeze as I sat outside on [...]
What a week! Two funerals – which to be fair were both uplifting in their own ways. An odd mixture of celebration and sadness and seeing people at their most real.

I learned something this weekend. Mandarins – those lovely packets of orangy goodness… … make me fart. Sad but true.
Today I decided I needed a mental health day. It was going to be a reasonably quiet day at work, I had plenty of rec leave up my sleeve and a very understanding boss. A form tomorrow and a sigh of relief. I had a few things to do. I’m making a little slideshow for [...]
Disappointed? Yes I had a mammogram. First one ever. The clinic was very efficient. I was in and out within about 15 minutes. I probably would have been quicker but I asked the nurse if I could have a look at the plates. Normally you get the photos taken and walk away to wait for [...]
