Well, I can’t compete with her

But the question is: do I want to ..? We all have different goals – those of us who have ’em, that is – and no-one can say whose is the most laudable. I didn’t consider myself to have a goal at all: I did tell several friends that I’m going to kark at 93, … Continue reading Well, I can’t compete with her

I want to see this movie !!!

It’s insane ! – it’s hilarious ! – and it’s FRENCH !! I wonder where I could stream it. Who knows where to stream recent French movies ? I must be kinder. Here’s a review ..

The contentious issue

I’ve posted about this before, and since then have grown more convinced that my opinion is sound .. The voice to Parliament. Please read this indisputably informed article. I wasn’t enthusiastic about it originally, and now I’m positively anti. Our First Nation people are divided, and don’t let anyone tell you differently: there are those … Continue reading The contentious issue

My hand-made blanket

Yeah, that’s it. It’s also been a different jumper and .. and .. bugger it ! – I’ve forgotten the first thing it was when I’d just bought the yarn. It’s Lion Brand Mandala, which I found I loathe; hence the frequent attempts to produce an article I didn’t. Yeah yeah, I know I said … Continue reading My hand-made blanket

Way to go !!!

I’m signed up with a small sadist, right now: her name is Monica and she’s a physiotherapist. (In fact she’s gorgeous – I took to her immediately !) This is all about my posture. My younger sister (the cleverest of the once five who comprised John Dunphy’s daughters back there in Perth) mentioned anxiously to … Continue reading Way to go !!!

Last craft post for a good while (PROMISE !!)

OK, so here’s my other FO of the moment: another cardi, but from this pattern which I followed religiously (it’s how I do everything). I’m off to Lincraft now to buy three buttons. After which purchase it really WILL be finished. Goanna, you may admire the fitting sleeves, me old darlin !! and also my … Continue reading Last craft post for a good while (PROMISE !!)

Yeah yeah, I know you don’t give a rat’s ..

But I do ! So here I am posting images – both absolutely vile !, I haven’t improved my photographic skills as you can deduce – of my latest finished article. Or, in craft terms, my latest FO. Firstly, dis is me looking both amazed and cross-eyed. Fetchin, ain’t it ? [grin] Now this one … Continue reading Yeah yeah, I know you don’t give a rat’s ..

Another short episode ..

HOW NOT TO LUNCH And speaking of Monash, as I did in my last post, I am in no doubt at all which job I was holding down at the time when an incident sort of peculiar to me arose .. I’d been employed by a man who was, I think, the Union Manager; and … Continue reading Another short episode ..

A short episode in the life ..

HOW NOT TO FLATSHARE Once upon a time there was a feisty young woman in her 20s who lived in Melbourne and worked as the Office Manager – sort of – in the Monash University newspaper office (the newspaper was called Lot’s Wife; but she was never able to find out why). Or, to be … Continue reading A short episode in the life ..

So that didn’t go over well :\

Not a lot of point bashing out more of my latest magnum opus – it weren’t received with anything I could pretend was great enthusiasm. Entirely your right to consider what I post as fatuous garbage, of course; and I shan’t even make snide references to your lack of taste.   [grin] I could run a short … Continue reading So that didn’t go over well   :\
