Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
After breaking my ankle in mid-2023 due to an unfortunate mishap involving a pothole on my street, I've noticed a bit of weight gain around my midsection. It's taken me four months of modified exercises to regain my ability to walk. Before the accident, I was making some improvements in my eating habits, though it's... Continue Reading →
In early 2017, soon after moving to Kangaroo Island, I saw an advertisement in the local newspaper (" The Islander ") asking for people interested in becoming a weekly Radio Presenter at 5KIxFM90.7 Community Radio.

In 2010 I experienced a severe bout of Vertigo after an unusual workplace incident. I was leaning forward over an office bin, then abruptly turned my head left and upwards to speak to someone.

Way back in 2012 I was saying I wanted this lens - the Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L II USM. Five years on, I now need the lens. I should have purchased it when I could afford it! Whilst I have many decent lenses, the 24-70mm would and could easily replace them all. With my... Continue Reading →
I celebrated 10 years of blogging within the last few weeks. I'd planned to publish this on the actual day, but hey, kids. Yet the date is not accurate. I started blogging towards the end of the last millennia. I had discovered the art of blog via Samela Harris, a local journalist, in the Adelaide... Continue Reading →
