He made cupcakes during the holidays!
It’s a different kind of image this week. I recently downloaded Photofox and had some fun editing photos. This is our son’s first batch of cupcakes. He made it himself with little supervision. He was so proud of them that day and loved sharing them with his father and me. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday!
Faces
This image of Australian actor, Guy Pearce, was the winner of the People’s Choice award at last year’s Archibald Prize exhibition. “I see profound depth of emotion and some sadness in Guy’s eyes, however, his gaze is direct and bold.

Too much coffee. Can’t sleep.
It’s 1 January 2019 as I write this post. The new year is only five hours old. The world is asleep. But here I am, awake in our dark apartment, next to some glow sticks that are fast losing their light. Behind me is the tick, tick, ticking of our wall clock that runs five […]

Braving the Boxing Day Sales. Chaos!
I don’t know why I did it. There were a lot of people in the city that day. The day’s news informed me that some were out there in the morning for that special bargain before the stores even opened. The best part of the visit was an unexpected hello from a salesperson I used […]

Be the Good
Be the change you want to see in this world. It’s a famous quote Gandhi never said. Its message of hope has been plastered on Instagram posts, greeting cards, t-shirts and posters. The phrase has kicked around the globe and done the social media rounds for a while. A made-up quote incorrectly attributed to a Hindu […]

The nightly news and other concerns
We read, watch and listen to the news constantly. His father works in the industry and I need to keep an eye on it for work, so information about the world is always in our home. We could have tried to shield our son from it, but it was nearly impossible. We chose instead to […]
