She didn’t want three wishes Or a fairy Or a trip to Neverland She didn’t want a Knight in Shining Armour Or any other man She didn’t need all that Stuff She just wanted to sit and watch the day pass from dawn to dusk with absolutely no fuss Perhaps a few in a row […]

From the beach

My eyes are closed Up the hill over the dunes The man in the caravan park is blowing leaves 🍃  I tuned into him ten minutes ago Though I’ve got him on the down low To my right two boys are shrieking and poking a helpless jelly fish Marooned by the tide I want to […]

Brain Waves about Wifi

AsideDecember 22, 2016December 22, 2016 Athousandbitsofpaper4 Comments

I woke up thinking about Wifi this morning. It was one of those half asleep half awake moments when the brain connects several dots at once and hands your subconscious a download of the issue.

AsideDecember 18, 2016 Athousandbitsofpaper8 Comments

Shearing time – one of the most exciting times of year in the rural calendar. At least it was for me growing up on a sheep station. I still get excited about shearing because it was such a huge event in my childhood. It was when strangers arrived at our property and stayed in the […]
