The candlelight flickers as warm shadows dance across the room. The room is an oasis of calm. My sanctuary. The itty bitty Samsung tablet, a hand me down from Sasha's uni days, plays a Netflix Korean series that holds my attention as I have no TV access being "the infected one". Apt to watch a … Continue reading An adventure in Ronavilla
It's been a bumpy ride! Much of this year has passed in a blur with many ups and downs. And yet the year ends on a high note of borders being open and family from interstate once again being able to join us here on Bribie Island for Christmas. A highlight, and a labour of … Continue reading Reflections 2021
Exercising your writing muscle needs to be a habit. Especially if you're aspiring to see yourself in print with a by-line. The writing bureau, one of the business streams for Dragon Sisters, (because all your eggs shouldn't be in one basket!) started quite by chance. "I'm struggling to write about myself" or "I'm no good … Continue reading Exercising Your Writing Muscle
Friday night saw me bidding a sad farewell to the last group of my lovely students who have been a part of my life since last September. I have to admit I shed a little tear (and so did some of them). My walk home, after handing in the keys to my boss, was filled … Continue reading GOODBYE ECIJA
Whilst I have enjoyed every moment of being in Europe and have loved teaching, mentoring and coaching, it is time to return to Australia – at least for a while. I have cherished being in my little apartment and not having to worry about anything except myself and meeting a few deadlines. Well, OK, more … Continue reading My European interlude is coming to a close
The school year is drawing to a close, at least here in Europe, which means so too is my time here in Spain. I'm making the most of the last few weekends and have been to Granada, Cordoba and Seville this month. Distances are not as vast as at home in Australia, so even though … Continue reading Exploring the Albayzin – Granada, Spain
The sun has gone on holiday. I've had to drag out the heater again, pile on jumpers and walk home in the rain - luckily I have a trusty brolly in my bag. Despite the gloomy weather this as been a brilliant day which stared with a lovely email from very dear friend (Susan) sharing … Continue reading Pleasures in simple moments
As a reader and a writer from way back, I've always enjoyed the richness of the English language. Words paints a vivid picture for the reader and the text just seems to effortlessly flow when the author hits upon the right combination. In contrast the wrong choices of structure and vocabulary, cause even the most … Continue reading Appreciating the English language
This is the first year, in a very long time, that I have not attended any International Women’s Day (IWD) events as none, as far as I am aware, are being held where I currently live. My contribution this year to IWD has been to include the day as part of my English language lessons, … Continue reading International Women’s Day 2015
How and where we make friends is something we’ve been discussing as part of the English course I teach. On a personal level, as part of my online blogging activities, I’ve also been meeting my electronic neighbours so I thought it timely to share this link to a blog I wrote last year on the … Continue reading Making friends
