What a gas!
Sitting in my nightie. Home from night duty.
Got to see all the Oscars - four hours!
Wonderfully happy to see the results as they happen.
Couldn't be better.

Princess dresses and the fun in giving
I saw the mosst beautiful princess dresses in of all places - the window of a health food store in McLaren Vale. I could just see my niece wearing one. Sort of like a fairy princess/hollywood star on the red carpet. They had only two in her size - which were balck and white stripes with a slash of red. Or a very regal cream with brocaide - almost bridal. I should tell her she is practicing to be a princess bride.
Going to see the family and Ilze on Sunday at the nursing home.
Other developments - new relatives found. Step siblings of my husband. More details will no doubt emerge. Hope to find out more family history from Ilze.
Jaz continues to do outstandingly well in her move to a unit.
Washing machine installed.
I intend to visit on Sunday as well - with another housewarming gift. Most likely food, plus a calendar on Space.
So I have been spending a bit too much?!
Arranging accommodation and airfares to Melb. for April violin convention.
Excited about going to Melb. Accommodation sounds good. Riverside spa. YES!
Talk again soon.

Who is doing the dishes and other quandries
Home renovations are being contemplated.
But the domestics keep on ticking along, with no particular place to go.
On nights and this will be the last for many a moon.
Looking forward to being home for the Oscars live on Monday. For the USA it's Sunday night.
But I'll be in my PJ's on the lounge with Holly - Roo.
I am one of those Oscar fanatics. The red carpet is so seductive, but I really appreciate the calibre of the films.
Would like to go to the farmers market tomorrow, just briefly.
Somehow would like to get to church on Sunday.
Have looked at my holiday snaps on the Ghan - I look well rounded.
So much for the South Beach diet plan.........................
Really struggling to stay focused here.
So may have to let my mind wander off.

A Soy Double Shot Latte Please - my addiction is my strength
I am doing a consume survey on the best soy double shot latte.
Coffee club Noarlunga - Can be quite slow, I usually get a take away, so don't like the styrine container. Overall 7 out of 10 for flavour and nice and hot.
Coffee Club Marion - Quite good, but quite a public spot. 6.5 out of 10.
Market 190 - Great location and friendly atmosphere. Coffee can needs to be hotter and lacks bite, 6 out of 10.
Blessed Cheese - Tops for coffee, plus has the daily papers. 8 out of 10.
Three Monkeys - The best of the best - service, atmosphere and flavour. YES! 10 out of 10.
Farmers Market - very busy market, so don't often stop for coffee. okay 6.5 out of 10.
The Green Room - Have only had plunger coffee, don't think they do other coffee? LOVE the room, paper selection and china. Quirky and worth a long stop on a Saturday morning in Willunga - 9 out of 10.
Have really splurged in the last fortnight - my addiction is my strength!!

Train adventures into the desert and stories about loss
Loss is everywhere at the moment.
So many houses, towns, animals and lives lost.
My cousin and his family have no home. They also lost the zephyr car that had been a family tradition. Paridoxically my aunt appears more accepting than I am about this - the need to move on.
The indiginous people move on all the time, there's is not a permanent life. They have few posessions and keep very little of the things we take as a given. The huge larder and mass of clothes and furniture. Not to mention all the electronical and electrical gadgets we can't live without.
So do I buy lots of these things or do I go on another train journey(!)
I would love a winter soujorn on a train - quick winter is almost over in the Northern Hemisphere.
Help - 6 minutes left on this computer.
For some reason I find it so much more productive to write in a library, or work, or somewhere else. The library will be closing in 5 minutes.
So goodbye.
I have meetings and photos to take. Films to watch.
7 Pounds - Hollywoods facination with giving your life for others. But death by jellyfish????????

Emotional carnage at work
For sure. Mental health is an emotional minefield.
What is best for someone who can't make there own way in life.
It seems that there is a huge amount of people who sometimes confer about this and somehow I am part of it all.
So looking forward to going on the Ghan and seeing more of this vast country.
They are really getting flooding rains up North, so it will really be the Green Season.
To do -:
Buy princess dress
Get pix back from framer ie indiginous art
Talk about scheduling Take Ten
Talk to LS about brekkie
Type up brekkie program and WGV
Finish book - Almost Moon
Order book six Suzuki for Jerry
