I HAVEN'T HAD TIME in my head to even remember to update this poor neglected blog - too busy knocking my book into some kind of shape to make up into a dummy. progress has been made! i'm seeing erica on tuesday, housesitting at sandra's for a few days beforehand so i need to get as much done as possible before i go - no inDesign on my current laptop. i'll add some pics in a day or two, i'm only here to look back at the beginning of the blog, i began it just before i moved to the river.
From the river to the bay
After a decade on the Murray/Darling confluence I've moved to the Bellarine Peninsula on Pt Phillip Bay. I've been so lucky to spend time with the fabulous birdlife and animals and the river itself, not to mention the warm and friendly people of the Sunraysia. Now i'll be close to family and old friends. My new home is surrounded by the bay and wetlands so there'll be much to discover

HIGH TIME
YES, HIGH TIME i updated this blog, it's April Fools Day and Easter Monday. 5.30 so i'll spend some time on this then get down to have a walk and a swim and there's a free yoga lesson at 8 at the yacht club. i need to do some research today too, i'm writing a book about my time on the river and reading the blog's day to day writing, which is what i did when i started, is essential when trying to get the sequence of events right. i only started this in 2012 when i moved so figuring out the dates of events leading up to find the house is proving a bit tricky. i'm relying on my handwritten journals and it's time to really delve in and get a timeline sorted out.
since march 18, my last entry and rene's birthday i've been swimming regularly, starting to walk again too.
Been to Gail's twice for an overnighter and a morning swim with the Waders.
Jenny and I headed up to Don's at Lake Lonsdale for a couple of nights. it was good to have a whole day with don, his eyesight is a worry, I'm concerned about him driving but he's isolated out there if he can't drive.
don's always got seed out for the birds |
Lake Lonsdale's full and healthy |
a beautiful sunset at my place, almost rivalling sunraysia skies |
