About Me
I live in Western Australia, near the water, in the city. I like to wander about. I love my family and friends. I read when I can, write when I can, take photos and hope for the best.
"When, however, I look over the hints and memorandums I have taken down ... my heart almost fails me at finding how my idle humor has led me aside ..."

Black and Denim, Osso Bucco and Red
Gill and family invited me over for tea Sunday night. Before I left I started to get snarly. I hadn't written as much as I'd planned, I hadn't done any washing, I hadn't gone to Bunnings to buy a second clothes rack and I hadn't bought any red wine to take along. How disorganised can one woman be? Fancy not going to Bunnings and carting a clothes horse home. So I had a shower and put on my jeans and my cheap long-sleeved black cotton top, which made me feel much better. Familiar, I guess, and black. Then Shan rang to see if I could find out the title and artist of a song she heard on triple j a few months back and we had a good chat. Which made me more late but in a much better mood. I missed a train by a couple of minutes but another came along in a few more and Gill just finished a call to Queensland as I walked in. We ate osso bucco for dinner with extra lemon zest, and Gill had a cleanskin bottle of red for us to drink as well. Gill knew the lyrics to Shan's song - 'beautiful melody' - and we found the info on the net. I posted it off in the mail yesterday. Martin dropped me home sometime after one. Disorganised but loved, thank goodness.

Mmm Osso Buco.I have had a craving for that for ages. Now I am definatly going to take myself up on that urge.
Black tops and jeans hey, you and I are cut from the same cloth!,lol.I went out last night to Sandi and Brigettes 60th and 50th birthday celebrations. It was only at one of the premium cabins so I did not have to walk far. Macka watched the kids and I still couldn't get out the door in time. I had no clothes left in the wardrobe as it was washing day and my pile tends to get done last! So I opted for my old flared denim jeans,(that have a small hole in the bum) my fave black boots and a black shirt (which covered up the small hole in the backside!)I wrapped a big wooly red scarf around my neck armed with a bottle of red and two bunches of flowers and I felt like a million bucks.
I had an intersting night and chatted to a lovely couple who grow organic vegies up at Meander. We talked about getting a comminty garden up and running in Swansea and they said they would love to come back and give us a few hints etc on organic farming. Sounds good!
I even had a couple of glasses of champers and on my return home to both children in bed and the heater on I felt loved too- after about 20 minutes, thats being generous maybe 10!! hehehe.
Luv ya Dee will ring soon for a BIG chat,I never seem to be able to catch you at home of late! BYE
