The funniest thing happened today. After lunch with my Grandparents and my Mum and my two aunts and my cousin and my cousin’s cousin I wandered not very far down the street to Mostly Books. As it’s around the corner from my Grandma’s house, which is pretty much the hub of Adelaide life so far [...]

Six Months Today
Posted in blogging, halden, seasons, trees on Friday, October 12, 2007 | 6 Comments »
My blog is six months old! How to celebrate? When I began this blog, I walked along the river and thought about light. The ice was cracking and melting on the lakes. These days the lakes glow a curious toothpaste blue, which I suppose means they’re thinking about freezing again. When I began, the trees [...]
Thinking Blogger Award
Posted in blogging on Monday, August 13, 2007 | 11 Comments »
Last week the very lovely penni awarded me a ‘thinking blogger award’, which really made my day. I find penni’s blog eglantine’s cake fascinating, as she talks about writing and motherhood and young adult fiction – all things I wouldn’t mind getting into at some point… (Also I was super-pleased because she liked my post [...]

This is a photo of the pin-up board above my desk. It’s a collage of places, people and images that mean things to me: Australia, England, Europe; flight, dreams, creatures, stories. Some of them are gifts, some of them I’ve collected on my travels. In the right hand corner is an echidna painted by a [...]
The Little Book Room

Just a quick note to say I’ve started a book-blog, The Little Book Room. There’s not much on there yet, but I thought it would be nice to have a separate space for musings on books and things.
Northern Light
Posted in Australia, England, blogging, light, norway, seasons on Thursday, April 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The light is different here. It’s glassy and pale and smooth. That’s not to say on bright spring days it’s not golden and gleaming, it is. When I look out the lounge room window the street shines as though it’s been varnished. But that’s the difference. In Australia, in summer, the light hits objects and [...]
