my children are awesome...

ADORE my kids... One of them (sometimes both) always has a quirky answer to my 'problems'...esp my son... Here is his last response to my Christmas maybe's and maybe not's...
'Mum, if you can't visit Next Serious Wave (NSW) you're welcome to visit us at So Awesome (SA)'...

a chat and a glass of wine...

PASSING THOUGHT: It's almost one week into school holidays. I've tried to attend to neglected house duties over the past week. I'm not the most sociable person. Anxiety in crowds. But tonight, here I am, wishing I had some male company around for a chat + a glass of wine...Sighhh pic.twitter.com/U3ywndilmN

reflecting on the past...

The past is the glue that binds all the pieces that we are...
But leaves room for more pieces to be added... https://t.co/ADYGqjC0yh

remembering Sydney's Palace theatre...

I must celebrate this post. Long ago, I worked casually on the Hoyts theatres' circuit... The Palace was one of the theatres. Loved the personality of the old girl. Most intriguing were the massive wall to wall to ceiling mirrors backstage + the old Tank Stream flowed below. https://t.co/gRjW6oFldu
