What’s Love Got To Do With It ?
WHATS LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT ? Wow some people are saying Hollywood is dead and no good movies coming out but I beg to differ.

Soapies with sensbiility finally .
Soapies finally with something worthwhile to say I can’t exactly say that I am a die hard fan of ‘The Bold and The Beautiful’ but if I happen to be home watching TV and it comes on I sometimes get sucked into watching it . If you’re not careful after very few episodes you can feel those insidious tentacles reaching out to enviegle you into lets face it some ludicrously pompous people’s stagey and self important dramas .Oh the mind numbing preoccupation with the minutiae of what ‘he said’ or ‘she said’ and ‘how they said it’ … Read More »

At Uni as a mature age student I once threw over a chance for a higher grade in a subject … Read More »
FIshy Tails
Fishy Tails I had the most amazing experience whilst out in the Noosa National Park recently both fishy related .I had taken a walk along the stunning and beautiful coastal trail from Hastings street Noosa to Dolphin Point and was really pleased to see a pod o f dolphins swimming and playing right at Dolphin Point . I did sadly witness an act of utter stupidity by a couple of boaters .The dolphins actually came in very close to shore and a paddle boarder was clearly keen to get up close to them and gently and silently and respectfully paddled… Read More »
Not so silly love songs
Not so silly love songs Lately a few of the old favourite love songs have been popping up out of the blue unexpectedly .Take for example I was down at Maroochydore Plaza not long ago It was school holidays and pretty full on with all the school kids milling around and I was standing there in a daze feeling a bit overwhelmed in the food court waiting for my Hungry Jacks order when suddenly the song “Baby Its You “ explodes in my mind I havent actually heard that song on the… Read More »

Celebrating the end of World War 2 Photo courtesy of www.iwm.org.uk Doreen’s Poem My mother Doreen Coveney is a dark horse.I always found her emails quite articulately expressed but recently with the death of the late Queen Elizabeth I was inspired to know what mum made of it all and wrote and asked her to share her recollections with me . As kids the Queen was always part of the wallpaper of our lives . We were working class and by no means royalists but somehow her Maj was a constant fixture for us kids even if only… Read More »
