A gorgeous sunny day today as we mark Andalucia Day and the final day of February. Temperatures are on the rise so I'm a happy little Vegemite. My laundry is fluttering on the rooftop, I’ve thrown open all the windows, turned off the heating and moved back into my office as opposed to doing all … Continue reading Andalucia Day – 28 February

THANK YOU FOR CARING
A very quick update to say a big thank you to all those who have taken the time to send me emails and enquired how I’m going as you’d noticed I haven’t blogged for a while. I really appreciate your concern and am truly grateful to have such wonderful followers and friends. I’ve been a … Continue reading THANK YOU FOR CARING
Look For Sprinkles
A wonderful read that I just had to share. I loved the analogies.
Ratatouille
Ratatouille. Those unfamiliar with the word may struggle with pronunciation and wonder what on earth it means. Several may think of the Disney movie where the main character is a rat. It would be logical to surmise that the word somehow has something to do with rats. Definitely not! I love ratatouille. I adore the … Continue reading Ratatouille
Education – a key to change
The rights of the individual, the topic of our informal conversation class last night, provided for a stimulating conversation.

Let down by the Child Support Agency and now my ex husband owes me £90k in arrears!
I think this is something that far too many people can relate to. Kudos to all those who do the right thing and honour their obligations. Children are not toys to toss aside -they are forever!

BACK IN SPAIN
Today is my fourth day back in Spain; I arrived Wednesday night and have been lucky not to have suffered from jet lag despite the very long trip. It was straight back to work Thursday morning so it’s nice to have this weekend to chill out. I spent yesterday checking out the rebajas - yep, … Continue reading BACK IN SPAIN
Action Plans
The New Year is a time when people often make resolutions that are not kept so rather than make resolutions I find that this a fabulous time to have a personal planning session with myself. I use this as a time to clean out and sort out in both the physical and also mental sense. … Continue reading Action Plans
Reflections of 2014
I’m currently sitting at home, in Darwin, outside by the pool but under the cover of the roof as the first day of 2015 has begun with a wonderful tropical rainstorm. The dogs, Janie and Mollie, are curled up close to me, one at my feet and the other on the outside couch. We are … Continue reading Reflections of 2014
