I realise that I’m a couple of weeks late getting these up, but I’ve been a very busy woman…..and I’ll tell you all about that soon. This St. Pat’s Day, my housemate, Sue, suggested we pop into the Geraldton Irish Club for a couple of light beverages to celebrate and you know what ? It [...]

On the March long weekend, I was lucky enough and privileged enough to attend a gathering of a fairly large group of people with whom I attended school, way back when. We’re the Ol’ 55s…born in1955 and turning 55 this year. We were even lucky enough to have our old headmaster, Arthur Richards, along for [...]

And so as I go about my day to day business here at Tallering Peak, I’m still astounded by some of the strange encounters that happen on the job. Today the girls and I walked into one of the laundrys to clean it and look what we found… Shit I laughed…he was a fine looking [...]

It’s been almost two years since I left Bulgaria to spend a couple of months in Australia regrouping and restoring my spirit, which had been knocked out of me somewhat. Thanks to the economic crash, I’m still here…but that’s all about to change. When I realised I would have to stay longer than a few [...]

Before I finish my tale of my visit to Bulgaria I want to talk about a part of my time in Australia that I’ve failed to mention and that was possibly one of the most pleasant periods I’ve had here so far. I was working for the Police and was technically homeless, and my brother,Tony [...]

So, here I was in Australia, working, catching up with great friends and my fab family. The work situation was sorted…I had tossed that fateful coin and the decision to take the radio job was made. I had a start date, but I knew there was one thing I needed to do before I started [...]

I may not be able to sing one, but I have seen some of the most spectacular rainbows since I’ve been back here [photopress:DSC06416_th.jpg,full,pp_empty] [photopress:DSC06464_th.jpg,full,pp_empty] [photopress:DSC06465_th.jpg,full,pp_empty] [photopress:DSC06466_th.jpg,full,pp_empty] For some reason, the sight of them always fills my heart with hope..the sight of a double rainbow is even more inspiring to me…perhaps they are a harbinger [...]

So here I am in Australia, a very long way from Bulgaria. One of the first social occasions I was invited to, was a night of traditional singing and dancing at the Perth Greek club. In fact, it was a birthday present from my sister and two of her friends, Steve and Anita, both of [...]
