Selectively Juggling

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Honestly I can’t remember, however what I am sure about is that obviously it was too much and definitely not worth it. Having said that some of the most delicious food/meals that I have had the privilege to eat are from…

Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. I just read a mind-numbingly boring piece on the psychology of saved images and phone home screens. What’s on my mobile phone home screen? A photo of trees awash with glorious sunlight. BTW we call our mobile…

Describe one habit that brings you joy. I love my outdoor garden, however it is my indoor plants that bring me such innocent and honest joy. I squeal like a little girl when I discover new growth, an unfurling leaf or flower. Every morning I say “good morning my beautiful plants” and rejoice in the…

What are you curious about? My middle name is curious! Ok, perhaps that’s a bit of a stretch. Seriously though, isn’t life all about learning, about being absorbed and inspired by curiosity?

That is a little tattered and worse for ware in some places, as if the tides of life have been a little too abrasive- a little too harsh. Yet, other parts of me remain deeply textured…

Yesterday I finally relented and stopped at the service station (servo) to fill my car with petrol. I was pumping petrol, watching the bowser display. Anyway, another driver was filling up, her car facing the opposite direction. Given that is it winter here (Southern Hemisphere) and we are currently having colder than normal weather, wind…

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? Given the current world social and political climate, the raging wars and attempted genocides I’d definitely not fly internationally. Perhaps if I had to choose somewhere I’d fly up to Broome in Western Australia, hire a fully kitted out off-road 4WD camper-van and head…

What are your future travel plans? Seeing the world in all its glory … that is once geopolitical issues are addressed and settled. Until then, I’m travelling vicariously, even though I had saved and planned to do Finnish Lapland/Norway this Christmas and New Year period. I can’t in good conscience travel whilst the world is…
