A few days ago, we made a quick trip back to my hometown, Shepparton, to visit my mother and do a few jobs around the house for her. I don’t go back there often, at the best of times, but this visit was the first since December 2019, due to the pandemic. I was born […]
2021 Year of Health – January
I posted last week about my Word Of The Year for 2021. The word I have chosen is Health, with the theme being #2021YearOfHealth. My plan is to have a monthly theme, in order to review, and reset, any bad habits, which may have crept in during 2020. My theme for January is Eat Less […]

Year of Reading 2020
I’ve read many books this year, but not as many as in a ‘normal’ year. I sort of lost my reading mojo, during the pandemic. Looking back, I seemed to be worried about everything and especially worried about the virus. Usually, if I’m sitting on a chair, I am reading. However, there were many times […]

Life On The Edge of a National Park
I feel very very lucky to live in a place that is surrounded by bushland. All it takes is a few steps outside the front gate, and I am in the Bendigo National Park. This bushland area is my backyard and my recreation area. There are many kilometres of walking tracks that surround our house, […]

November Smiles
When I decided to write monthly, about the happy moments during each month, I had no idea that Covid-19 was about to appear in our lives, causing life, as we know it, to change. I’m sure most would say that the past few months have been quite stressful and worrying. But this post isn’t to […]
