Echoes of Hunger and Homelessness

June 30, 2017

You ever been hungry? Not just hungry and grab a bite to eat. But hungry with nothing to eat and no way of knowing where your next meal is coming from. If it is. I haven’t. I would be willing to bet most of you haven’t either. As I wrote in yesterday’s post the whole issue of … More Echoes of Hunger and Homelessness

Sleeping rough

June 29, 2017

No, Tess is not sleeping rough! She’s tucked in snug and cosy on a cold winter morning – inside. Sheltered and warm. Homelessness statistics are sobering. Nearing 6,000 homeless in Australia. I wrote about this very same thing in Jan 2016. It has not got better. In fact, probably worse due to worsening economic circumstances … More Sleeping rough

Take some me time

June 28, 2017

Get to know your Soul — go in. Inside yourself. Read. Talk. Ask Big Questions of Life. Look for answers. Write it down. Draw it. Sing it. Dance it. Take me time — Meditate. Lots. Pray. Go outside. To peaceful, soothing places. Maybe a forest. The Beach. A retreat. Have a date night with yourself. Get to … More Take some me time

I’m burning !

June 26, 2017

Following on from my post about pyrography I am happy to report I have mastered the use of the potentially deadly device. I have not burnt myself or the house. I have, however, burnt stuff onto a piece of wood . I came home from a woodburning workshop a month or so ago with the beginnings … More I’m burning !

Echoes of Thanks, thanks, thanks……

June 23, 2017

Despite my best endeavours to reach each and everyone of my new followers to say “Thanks – and welcome” my efforts are sometimes thwarted. The vagaries of the internet and other phenomena seem to block the way at times. That and time. I am about ten days behind in catching up to my notifications from … More Echoes of Thanks, thanks, thanks……

C2C

June 22, 2017

C2C? What is that, you may well ask. Allow me to enlighten you – it is shorthand for corner to corner. That probably has you scratching your head too. It actually is a new crochet technique that I have been mastering the last couple of weeks after coming across a link about it in Oh, … More C2C

Lost in translation

June 21, 2017

TRH (The Retired Husband) bought a new tool on-line a few weeks ago. It arrived the other day – a Pyrography machine. As with all good tools, there is a set of enclosed safety and operational instructions. They are usually in several languages. These instructions are in two. Chinese and English. However, given that … More Lost in translation
