Today is the last day of November, starting tomorrow Christmas officially hits the silly season…can you believe it? I already have my Turkey in the freezer, but it will be a quiet affair and our first Christmas without Dad. Yesterday we had our first Christmas party, sadly after days of beautiful warm weather it was…

Well I finally feel like things are returning to some form of new normal. I visited a friend in rural Victoria for the first time in ages last weekend. We had a family day out at the Melbourne Zoo on Friday which was great fun. I booked my first actual studio portrait session for in…

The sun is shining and there is a light at the end of this pandemic tunnel. The excellent news is that the light isn’t a train coming to run us over. We’ve had nine consecutive days of zero Covid cases and zero deaths. The 25kms lockdown has been lifted and I can visit regional Victoria.…

It’s already been a week since they let’s us partially out of lockdown and I’m sorry to say in some respects I already miss it. The shops have gone crazy and having to do food shopping was a nightmare. Let alone go anywhere else. I drove past the hardware store and it was crazy! In…

It’s been a rather quiet week, it’s been wonderful. It was a little stressful behind the scenes for the last month or so, I won’t go into details, but things were getting rather stressful. So, I pencilled in a couple of weeks off…to a degree. No classes, no presentations, no workshops. I still had work…

What started off as a stressful week finally gave way to calm and some peace and quiet from Thursday through to yesterday. It was supposed to be an entire week off from ‘stuff’, but that was not to be. Still the last few days have been lovely. I spent two days just playing in Photoshop…

Another busy week, seven zooms in seven days! Most went for several hours, I was feeling a little hoarse near the end. I don’t normally talk THAT much, lol. At least for two I was not presenting, so I mostly had to listen. We had beautiful Spring weather, can’t really go anywhere, but still nice…
