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 »
A Womans Worth
A Womans Worth I once subscribed to ‘Daily OM’ s eating properly to rally for recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome online course . I find it hard to really stick with online courses but am sure I osmosed a few good ideas and healthy eating tips and as a result of being enrolled in the course provider ‘ Daily OM’ often sends through words of inspiration and updates about other courses they are running all at very affordable prices and I think once you have purchased the course you can keep going back to it and go through it at… Read More »
Another not so silly love song …..
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 »

Doreen’s Poem
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 »

The serpent and the apple
THE SERPENT AND THE APPLE There is an interesting and powerful symbology to the concept of the Serpent and the Apple in the traditional bible story of Adam and Eve ……The apple represents worldy knowledge and sex and the veil of innocence falling forever away .In the story of Adam and Eve the serpent tempts Eve with the Apple and she and Adam discover the forbidden fruits of lust and passion and the joys of sexual hanky panky and as a result they are banished forever from the Garden of Eden It seems like a lot of patriarchal bullshit actually… Read More »
