  on Jan 25, 2011

• A-Z of Emotions
  on Jan 24, 2011
  I could not get to sleep last night.I lay awake for hours, just quietly, thinking about the morning. Thinking about what it meant, about choices I had made, and about what I was going to have to let go of. You see our eldest boy Luka was starting sch...

  on Jan 18, 2011
  The other day I had my leaky roof repaired. As predicted, the rain in Brisbane has now stopped, although I have been informed that this is but a temporary reprieve. When I tried to argue that my roof no longer leaks therefore further rain is unlikely...
