Selectively Juggling

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? I’m curious about everything, I kid you not! If I’m reading an article and am presented with a word, term or topic I’m…

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be? I’d bring back a Do-you-think-he-saurus and play a wicket game of hide & seek.

How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? I would describe myself as being somewhat threadbare. 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…

What do you listen to while you work? As I sit here in my hospital-based office, ambient sounds of passing laughter and conversations waft through, working their way under the closed door. Today it’s bearable and my fully charged noised cancelling headphones sit atop my desk, untouched and not needed. If the noise was louder,…

What countries do you want to visit? At this point in time.… I’d rather stay home. My goals are to visit Estonia, Finnish Lapland, Norway, Prague, France (Paris & Provincial) Netherlands and Belgium this coming European Winter. The main goal to experience the Northern Loghts. However, given global issues I think I might delay the…

How do you want to retire? Healthy, wealthy and wise. Not to mention surrounded by love and nature with a healthy dose of detachment and self-compassion thrown into the mix.

What is your favorite season of year? Why? I’m a summer girl -I love swimming, being barefoot and exposed skin. I love the longer shadows of late Autumn. Autumn is a great photographer’s palette of colours, textures and angles. Winter can be stunning, with crystal clear crisp night skies. Nothing like snuggling up in front…
