Since visiting mum the little guy has been inundated with toys from all over the place. My brothers, mum’s friends, neighbours, whoever; everyone seems to have a toy or a book or something for the little guy to play with. One conversation held here recently had to do with favourite toys, in particular our favourites […]
Most of you know I’m visiting my mother on the Gold Coast. Recently we watched the film The Bucket List together. It generated some very good, important discussion about the things we need to take care of before we die. Without spoiling the film I can safely tell you it’s about two guys, Morgan Freeman […]
I took a walk with the little guy down to the park this afternoon. We saw several beautiful black butterflies fluttering about in the trees and near where we played. Butterflies are always inspiring to me. So, here’s a visual journal prompt for you.
Create a butterfly in your journal. Either paint, draw, copy & […]

I’ve yet to see the film Into the Wild, but it comes recommended to me by my brother and sister-in-law. They both saw the film recently and were impressed by the sad tale. The true story is based on the short life of Chris McCandless. Apparently he kept a diary of his travels, which included […]
I spent the best part of this afternoon meeting up with family members I haven’t seen in about 17 and a half years. It’s a long time in anyone’s language. We chatted, caught up and laughed, a lot. I really had a good time. I suppose I didn’t realise just how much I’ve really needed […]
Since arriving here at my old home on the Gold Coast I’ve discovered a man I used to know well was murdered about a week before I showed up. It was sad to learn the way he spent his final hours. I simply had to make time, even though it’s difficult as I’m talking with […]
I’ve spent the last few days recovering from my trip on the two planes I had to catch, first from Perth to Melbourne, then from Melbourne to the Gold Coast. Also, I’ve been trying to log back into my blog. I couldn’t find the info I thought I had stored. So, now I should be […]
I’ve been preparing to catch a plane to visit my mother, who lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland. I leave early tomorrow morning. There’s all the planning, shopping and cooking for the family I’m leaving behind, but also the packing and planning for myself and the little guy, as we’re the only ones going on […]
