It's been a good day, despite Day 3 in Ronaville starting with me having to make a complaint. Room service missed me in the breakfast delivery. 10.30 and no menu via text message. Definitely not up to the usual attentive standard. I'd not noticed earlier as I was totally engrossed in my book. The growling … Continue reading A Magic Little Gift
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 over 2 years since our world was turned upside down by COVID-19. Much has happened in the ensuing time, yet a constant has been our careful vigil to keep it at bay. I lined up to get the jabs as soon as I was eligible, started wearing masks again the moment it became … Continue reading RONA IS VISITING ME AT LAST…UNWELCOME!
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
A wet and rainy Easter Sunday sees me sitting around in my PJ's. It's 1 pm in the afternoon. Sipping coffee and going through old photo's - so many memories. In Easter's past, at least since moving to Bribie, we'd have been round to Mum and Dad's for lunch or afternoon tea. But this year, … Continue reading A wet and rainy Easter Sunday reflection
Robert Gordon Van Buerle. An amazing man. My Dad and my hero. Strict but fair. He loved his family passionately and everything he did was for us. Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep last Friday, 15th January 2021. We are so blessed that as a family we are all together on Bribie Island; and … Continue reading VALE ROBERT GORDON VAN BUERLE
It's been many months since I've written here. Much has been happening in my life - and I am sure also in yours! It's time to share an update. 2020 has been a heck of a year. That's an understatement! On the home front it has been a challenge. Wayne (my son) was diagnosed as … Continue reading November Update
New Year's Eve/Day means time for my annual update for all my friends and followers far and wide who are not on Facebook. It's been a year of many different adventures and challenges. But I've coped and am extremely fortunate to be enjoying good health and wonderfully supportive friends and family. I am truly blessed … Continue reading My Personal Review 2017
Derek was my cousin. To be precise, he was the eldest of the Van Buerle cousins. Both of us were born in Malaysia, and I guess Derek has been around my life forever. We were not the type of cousins that saw each other often. My Dad worked for the United Nations so we lived … Continue reading Vale Derek Van Buerle
It's 3 months since I last wrote here on my personal blog although the Dragon Sisters blog has more consistent publications. Guess that shows where my focus has been. On business. Afer all, when you work for yourself, you have to make hay while the sun shines. On the personal front, our dear and old … Continue reading Marching on….into April
