Try living with a dancer (my daughter) sometimes watching her, I just start crying! Have you tried Zumba? That's fun

For those of us (adults) who still love to colour in, there's a website which allows you to download free colouring pages:) I've just downloaded 3 of them and there are heaps to choose from...

OMG I just found that web site the other day, I love to colour you can even buy booklets (but cheaper to download) my kids think I am crazy!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

They're really good Faye - extremely detailed but excellent:) My daughter thinks it's great - good for brain function she said;)

What more do we need in life, books to read, chocolate, coffee and chai, a decent bath and colouring pages....life is complete.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Exactly Faye! You have it nailed in one;)

Thanks for posting that Brenda. Some lovely pics to colour.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No problems Dale...you're a colourer too are you?

[Dale]

Brenda wrote: "No problems Dale...you're a colourer too are you?"

Haven't since the kids were young but might have to get myself some pencils and pages. I used to love it.

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Very therapeutic Dale...a meditation ;) nice to listen to a book while you colour too.

I bought myself some Derwent pencils - a box of 12 from Big W for $10...

Shame we don't have a big W. Might have to try Kmart next time I am in town. I would probably listen to music Julie. I don't do audio books.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Kmart should have them Dale:)

Watercolour paints are good too Dale ;)

I quite like colouring too, but I haven't done any for a while - there's just never enough time to do everything I want to do! That link does have some nice things to colour - I'll have to do some again. Has anyone used the watercolour pencils? I've been tempted to buy them at times, but not sure whether they're easy to use well or give a nice result...

I've looked for those pencils Kathryn but haven't been able to find them? Maybe I'm not looking in the right places...do you know what they are called?

Just google watercolour pencils Jools - there are lots listed:)

[Suz]

Oh my goodness. Simon Baker is directing the screen adaption for Breath. Just stumbled across it on IMDb.

[Suz]

And on the pencil topic. Aldi always sells different bits and pieces. I've picked up pencil sets there lots of times over the years. Hope this helps :))

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

I just googled it and found lots of info and tips...thanks :)

[Kathryn]

i would cry! and then stop sleeping and do painful and terribly bad stealthy stretching and practice sessions instead so i could eventually just drop in a cool move and be like, oh that? I can do it in my sleep =) haha

nailing all the most important topics of course, Juliette =) it's the best way to have fun, other than colouring, obviously ;) which I'm totally all for hehe

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good morning all! Have a great weekend and stay warm :)

[Sharon]

Yes, good morning. And yep, cold here too Brenda.

@Suzane - your trip to Syndey Writer's festival sounds like it has made a very nice memory for you ;)

[Sharon]

AH, speaking of authors, Brenda, are you going to see Trcia Stringer, Jen McLeod and Karen M at the library next weeks? I have an appointment the same day and time they are at Raymond Terrace, would go down to Tomarree on the Tuesday...

I'm seeing them today Sharon, at Belmont library :)

[Sharon]

Well, there you go,

Yes, it's good. The first time is always the best because you haven't seen anything like it before. There is lots of walking. My tips would be go early and on a week night if you can. Stay overnight in the city the fireworks are on at 10pm. I'm going next Sunday with my mum and we stay overnight so we can stay out late and then just walk to our hotel.

[Dale]

I was hoping to see them Thursday when they were down this way but husband's eye op conflicted, so that was the end of that. The important thing is his eye op went well

Must get round to reading that before the movie then! It's another book that been sitting next to my bed for ages.

I see the Good Weekend mag this weekend has an edited extract from Silent Shock: The Men Behind the Thalidomide Scandal and an Australian Family's Long Road to Justice , so anyone interested can get an idea of the book from that
