HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

26 January 2012

Well unfortunately, here in South-East Queensland we have been inundated with torrential rain which has caused major flooding and the festivities organised by the various council's and other organisations have been cancelled!

Luckily the rain has eased today, but the forecast for the next few days is looking bleak.

But don't get me wrong we are still celebrating Australia Day, but just in a different way than usual.

At the moment, although we are home, my husband and I have the stereo up loud tuned into the Triple J Hottest 100!

Although this is the norm for us on Australia Day even when we are out and about, this year we get to experience it at home.

To enjoy some great music and listen to the top picks for 2011, tune your radio to 89.5 in Australia or you can stream Triple J through your internet:

Have a really great Australia Day!!

My Yearly Escape From Reality!

Just starting to recover from my party week at the Woodford Folk Festival, where I enjoyed many exotic foods, listened to interesting talks and watched comedy acts, found new bands to include in my large repitoire of music as well as catch up with old favourites, watch circus acts, freak shows and be entertained by Raw Dance (World Famous Male Tap Dance Group)! Watched as the Tashi Lhunpo Monks of Tibet created the sand mandala over the week and I also made it to the top of the hill to watch the first sunrise of 2012 at 4.30am, New Year's Day to partake in the dawn ceremony conducted by the monks.

What an awesome way to bring in the New Year with a whole week of entertainment! Love it and visit every year! I have added a few photos for your purusal, below.

Well now back to reality!

I have just added myself to a very big Blog Hop which runs on the first Wednesday of each month thanks to a fellow author, Alex J. Cavanaugh.  Many thanks to Alex for organising the many activities he shares with his followers! Follow my links to his Blog Page and take a look, I am sure you will find something to interest you!
Well, I have finished my first draft of my second book, "He Came For Mine" and have started to format it using the Smashwords Guidelines.  I hope to have it ready for publishing as an eBook by the end of the year! So it looks like I am going to have a busy year.
Wish me luck!
