And so, after tales of tears, trampolines, toys, ice cream, singing, SeaChange, and whales, we come to the last installment of my weekend at Moruya with the Strange Weather Gospel Choir. Warning, folks: this is a long’un, as I’ve decided I need to tie this escapade up for all our sakes. I recommend you grab [...]

Last weekend, my choir and I went on our Two Rivers Tour, performing in little Jindera and bigger Wagga Wagga. I’d been a bit nervous about how it would go, but I needn’t have worried.

It’s been a strange week. Saturday I spent the day being all calm and stretchy at a five-hour yoga retreat. Sunday I baked caramel walnut slice to negate the frustration that is discovering a stowaway virus on one’s laptop. (There’s something amusing about using the term “one”, isn’t there? One enjoys blogging! One is currently [...]

When I was growing up, music was an integral part of my being. I started piano at age 3, clarinet at age 10, and consistently sang in school vocal groups. As a teenager, I did music theory on Mondays, piano lessons on Tuesdays, clarinet lessons and clarinet ensemble on Fridays, vocal group once a week, [...]

Elijah Rock Shout shout! Elijah Rock Comin’ up Lord… In the past two years, I’ve gone to bed before midnight fewer times than I have fingers on one hand (I have five fingers on each hand, in case you were wondering. Food Bloggers: They’re Just Like You). Very, very rarely, though, I’m so exhausted by a [...]
