Greetings from my desk, complete with my new fit ball/desk chair. The year 2014 and I have gotten off to a rocky start. Already we've had some ups and downs. Roo and I arrived home from our marvellous time in Argentina and Chile, documented here, on 30 December after a long flight. Santiago-Auckland-Sydney-Adelaide. That's 18…

Flashback to: Ten Weeks in Italy 2010 In 2010, my older sister and I were fortunate to be able to spend five weeks together, studying, visiting relatives and travelling in Italy. Then my husband joined me for another five weeks in Italy with a few days in Singapore on the way back to Australia. I…
Learning to be a better blogger in Abruzzo

I have to admit that the idea of going to Abruzzo to learn more about the art and craft of blogging has struck some of my friends and colleagues as an odd thing. To be honest, most of them have never heard of Abruzzo. Unless, of course it's just the humorous mention of it by…

Back from India and Malaysia
Hello Peeps! Roo and I got back from overseas about a week ago. We thoroughly enjoyed or time in India and our 6 day stopover in Malaysia. I blogged along the way and, since we got home, have done some final posts regarding the food in both countries. If you didn't follow the blog along…
A two month break
A two month break from posting is a long time for me. So what's been going on in my life to cause this? Hmmm...perhaps it's my current obsession with taking pictures on Instagram. Add that to my obsession with all things Italian, my study of la bella lingua, my day job at the documentation factory,…
April come she will…
We really were blessed with some fabulous weather this April. The track pants and socks took longer than usual to make their first appearance for the year. Daylight savings time is over and the days are getting a little shorter, but the weather felt like summer right through Mid-April. It was nice, but kind of…
Annual year-end review of books on the night stand
Another year is nearly over and the rotating door for books that is my night stand is sporting a lovely and mostly new crop. A few of them are travel guides recently borrowed from the library and some of them were on the night stand last year, but are at least started. Some from last…
Looks like a monthly update is all I can handle…
There seems to be a lot going on, and little time to blog about it. I'm thinking that perhaps I am too connected and a bit disjointed in my approach to social networking and blogging. I have been considering only updating my Tumblr blog MLTuckerAtLarge, which feeds to my Twitter and my Facebook and just…
Geez 2011 – you have some catching up to do
Other than a photo on my bike ride home, I haven't posted a blog since the first of the year. Oh dear, what's going on? Last year I was quite prolific, at least for me... It's not that nothing is happening this year; maybe I am just adjusting to being back in Australia and back…
