About Me

My photo
Brisbane, Australia
I came to Brisbane in January 2009 to be near my family. From teaching art to secondary school students I moved in to working with people with special needs, and now am making little friends for children - surprise, surprise! I have always loved creating things with my hands - pictures, clothes, jewellery, gardens, food, and now toys. We have recently sold our house in Victoria so are now seriously relocating = furniture sorting and disposing, deciding what's imperative to bring and what's not, then doing it. You don't need much and it's a relief to simplify, once again. As my mother says, "There aren't any pockets in a shroud." Cheers Penny May 2010

christmas break activities












Christmas was a lovely day, even tho it started at 5am, when Remi discovered that Santa had not only drunk the wine and eaten the panforte, but the reindeer had drunk the water. And to top it all off, Santa had left him a note. I thought he was going to explode with excitement.
These pics show a little of the day, and those following, up to last week when it began raining, AGAIN, and hasn't stopped. Thank god we live on top of a hill. It's all running past us to some other poor families.
At least we got a few smims in, both at Southbank and the lovely pool at Yeronga, all greenery and trees and surrounded by bush.
We went twice to GoMA last week to see the 2000-2010 Contemporary Art that has filled the gallery from top to bottom. We took Remi on day 2, and the camera. He did not want to leave the Infinity Room - it was amazing.
Mum has arrived back in Brisbane and goes down to her new house at the end of the week. She looks very well, despite all the upheavel.
Happy New Year to you all. This is going to be a great year!!!
