Misty eyes with John Denver.

hello again, trying a different font.
Trying for ages to upload ix to Canon - unsuccessfully - but I havde left it to the eleventh hour.
Meant to report I indulged in some folk music last weekend - which seems light years away.
Neptune Rising, a duo, who happened to be in Chrystina's when I was there, after the worship get together.
Glorious harmonies - I'm Sorry my John Denver being the highlight - gets me all misty eyed.
Halloween ghouls have just been calling.
Finished reading the Alan Bennett book 'A Life like Other people's' As with many writers his history is mapped out by his upbringing - the themes of his childhood written into every fibre of his life.
A very rewarding read.

Living by the shift

The system is blocked, it won't let me on.
So I can't write - well not enough.
How can they block me from blogging?
Surely it is a professional duty??!
My letters in this Month's Women's Weekly & Adelaide Magazine.
Diverse subject range-:
Doc Marten's & Auge resturant.
Snap shots in my memory...........................
Red poppies by the driveway, blazing red. So exciting, were they there yesterday?
They must love the sun, which has been punishing, a total shock after a pleasant spring.
Zuchini & lemon muffins - worth finding the recipe.
A near empty cinema, the giant screen, a personal viewing of Queen Victoria.
Somehow Queen Victoria seems a touch hollywood.
Have movie tickets to Julia & Julia + Boys are Back - both on the same day - so will get my boys to see the boys flick.
One day remaining to do a Tafe enrollment, a photo comp & get a newsletter out.
Book club rescheduled to another week - nevermind that I have rescheduled my roster to work a day shift every month to get to the other night.
It is so hard to fit every thing in when you live by the shift.
Christmas Festival gearing up.
Lots of positive feedback about the poster - the pink ribbon gumboots.
Make more calls, arrangements & connections.

Too much stuff.

The cleaner should get the sack at my house or pay docked - oh it's me(!)
Right, incredibly behind with all things domestic.
The house perpetually looks like a bomb has it it - such a wonderful expression.
Too much furniture and goods ie rubbish.
Either need another house to store it all in or it needs to be culled in half.
The 21st Century dilemma - too much stuff.

Rhetoric Vulnerability & Trusteeship - Waving a Magic Wand

Think tanks
Haigh's & Imprints.
Caramel fudge & Alan Bennett's book 'A Life Like Other People's'.
Can't resist books and fudge in no particular order.
Brain swimming with ideas following the Rights, Responsibilities & Rhetoric conference.
The legal and mental health issues of making decisions to, for and with people.
Capacity & consent.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Sometimes I wonder why I work in this field.
It is so damn hard. There is so many divurgent opinions.
Going on to the launch of the State Theatre Company's 2010 season.
Blessings.

Debating the questions of freedom and the long trip home.

Freeeeee!
Free at last.
Read part of Martin Luther King's famous speech in the train.
The gift of lousy times........................
Rights, Responsibilities & Rhetoric.
Debating the questions of freedom.
Waited an hour for a train, then another hour home.
