That's a sad sight for a wannabee blogger. It's too late now to add much, except to say that we have been away. I had limited internet access while away as we stayed in a cabin on a hill near Apollo Bay and spent our days hiking to waterfalls and admiring the scenery along the…
The apricots have come and gone
The tree did not get pruned last year because we were away a bit and so when the fruit began to form, the branches were long and lanky. Last year was a slack year but this year the apricot tree has been prolific. Maybe just enough spring rain and a bit of warm weather. I…
Zappa did Zappa
Wow! On 2 Dec 07 at Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide we saw Dweezil Zappa and band performing the music of Frank Zappa. This was not a tribute band. This was just a bunch of fabulous musos interpreting the music of the great man. Dweezil was cheerful and smiling contentedly throughout. His guitar playing seemed effortless.A great…
A baby boomer’s rock and roll moment
You know how when you start to get a bit older and you think you are still pretty cool, but you can't read the menu any more, or see the controls on the stove or the TV remote? Well if you don't know, you are younger than me by a bit. On Sunday night we…

The Trinity Sessions is a series of concerts organised by a very energetic and enthusiastic fellow called Roger Freeman. The Venue is the Trinity Uniting Church. The latest Trinity Session offering on 18 Nov 07…
This is turning into a food blog…
A breakfast this morning we sat outside eating our yummy fresh wholemeal rye bread with lovely rhubarb raspberry jam, both purchased last evening at the Adelaide Central Market. We discussed what we would have for lunch and dinner. Lunch is likely to be at Casuarina, a Malaysian restaurant that does the most authentic Roti in…
I have yet to meet a legume that I don’t like
Tonight we ate outside and had the first broad bean salad of the season. When Roo made it for me the first time, last summer, he used sweet cherry tomatoes from our very own garden! It was one of those mouth moments where you just want more. Tonight the tomatoes were from the Adelaide Showgrounds…
I like a really fresh vegetable
That's why today I went to the Farmer's Market. Apricot growers have reappeared. Woo Hoo — I love apricot season. On the way home I stopped to see my friend Bronny and shared some apricots with her. And the capsicum and rocket look mighty yummy too. The last of the cold weather is with us…
Lucky cat
Corky died on 25 March 07. He was a great cat, probably the best we'll ever have. Big, slow and with a beautiful face. He was a leaner. His size did not lend itself to lap sitting, but he loved to lie on his side with his head pressing up against a person's leg or…
Hello world!
I am brand new to blogging. I want to try it out to see if I can discipline myself to write regularly, develop stories or record memories. We'll see how it goes.
