Day 7 of the Square in September challenge and I was ‘tickled pink’ with this photograph. Chief and I were spending a few days in Singapore and from our hotel, we had a great view of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel – the swanky one that looks like a boat on stilts. I was checking […]
Day 6 of the Square in September challenge and it’s time to show off my pink flamingo Florence. Florence joined our family last Christmas; a gift from ‘Flossy’ to her Dad. Here Florence is shimmering in the fancy blue light of our pool. Unleash your pink flamingos people! #InThePink
The Story Bridge in Brisbane is often lit in different colours to match the theme of various days on the state’s event calendar or in support of charity days. This picture was captured on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 a while back and I think it was to mark Pink Ribbon Day, the Cancer Council’s […]
For ten years the Royal Adelaide Show was a part of my life; it is where I worked and formed some life-long friendships. Then we upped sticks and relocated to Brisbane and most of you will know that I was dragged kicking and screaming to Queensland. You’ll be delighted to know that nearly three years […]
I’m delighted to have the chance to show off my ‘award winning’ photograph with you again – when I say ‘award winning’ I mean ‘runner up’ but hey! it was the first photography competition I’d entered and was ‘tickled pink’ that my hurried snap turned out pretty okay.

I had been wandering around the neighbourhood with camera in hand and spotted this flower tumbling over […]
My blogging buddy Clare of Clare’s Cosmos drew my attention to a photo challenge issued by Becky who has a super blog The Life of B. After the Weekly Photo Challenge from our lovely friends at WordPress (we miss you guys!) ceased, I’ve been missing that particular blogging community so I’m looking forward to forming new […]
I have surprised myself with just how easy I have found this Dry July challenge. I had plenty of opportunities to cheat, especially when home alone with opened wine in the house, but I was a good girl. Do I feel better for giving it up? It’s a bit hard to say with the hormonal […]
Four days after my 52nd birthday I started Dry July, a month of abstinence from alcohol while receiving donations to support various cancer charities. I’ve been doing well, extremely well actually and I’m delighted to report that I am NOT an alcoholic. However, two weeks in and my long-standing partner Fertility has decided I am […]
I waited until the last minute to register for Dry July; it was the last day of June and I only did it to give myself the incentive to see this challenge through to the end. After completing the online form and sharing my challenge on social media sites, I closed my laptop and went […]
