As the distant drumming sounds echoed through the frosty air; as the eerie sound of bagpipes were carried along on the settling early morning mist, I felt a chill run down my spine; and not because it was 5:30am in a freezing cold Orange, NSW; not because I was tired and drained, but because this … More Anzac 100: A Dawn Service Experience
Well well, it’s been almost seven months and I’m still here, still learning and still growing. When I first arrived I have to admit I was impatient; wanting everything to happen at once: the self-discovery, the inevitable growth, the development of character etc. My friend Nichola told me to bide my time, to take it … More Things I’ve Learned About Myself Since Being in Australia
A little poem to keep you all updated; cryptic as it may be, you decide the interpretation. Stuck in a rut with nowhere to go, this is not how the journey should flow. Taking stock and pondering how, it’s going to turn out, the future, the now. Consider ideas, possible plans, to “go with the … More Pay Attention To The Signs
My blogs have been very few and far between of late; mainly due to the fact that I haven’t really done or experienced anything of note. My time in Orange has basically been spent as follows: Gym, Work, Sleep, Repeat. Boring huh? It appears that my ability to settle into a place and go about my … More That Time We Drove To Adelaide.
Christmas is well and truly over. New Year celebrations have been and gone and it’s now the beginning of February; 2015 is in full flow, and surprisingly (or maybe not) I find myself in a place called Orange in central NSW. The decision to come to Orange was not one I made on a whim. … More Life In Technicolour…Or Just Orange.
My first blog of 2015, my first after a two week hiatus and it should be filled with tales of fun and laughter, it should be bursting with forward thinking ideas and be packed with positive possibilities. I should be sat here writing how much I’m looking forward to what the New Year will bring, … More New Year, Same Fears.
I’ve not blogged in a while and quite frankly, I don’t really know where to begin. I suppose my absence can be put down to a number of things: I haven’t had much to blog about, the only thing worth blogging about was keeping me busy, and I’ve kind of suffered a few setbacks over … More Girl, Interrupted
A week after leaving the delights of hostel life in Brisbane (oh the sarcasm), I’ve found myself looking back, contemplating and yearning for that crowded, smelly, noisy, badly air-conditioned, backpacker platform again (sorry, I can’t help it, it’s the lowest form of wit; sue me). In all seriousness though, I am missing the hostel life … More All About That Bass…Or Should That Be, Base?
Last time I blogged I’d just lost one of the two jobs I’d managed to bag in Brisbane. I was downbeat, worried and slightly peed off. I began frantically searching online for anything I thought I’d be good at. I applied for waiting-on jobs, barista jobs, bar jobs, admin jobs, temp receptionist jobs, Au Pair … More A Change Is Gonna Come
Today I lost one of my jobs. The one that paid the most. The one I liked the most. The one that provided me with the most exercise, i.e., moving more than I generally do during the day. The one that kept me busy in the afternoon/evenings. The one with the most scope for extra … More Losing My…Job…
