Wicked Woman - 03/11

On Monday night I sang in Liz's backyard studio.....
I sang a song that I wrote. The first song I ever wrote, and I sang it for the first time. I loved it. And I am so happy that the ones I sang it to are such talented musicians that they were able to make the song come alive for me.
It's a song about being a lyin', cheatin', heartbreakin' man hater. About being a wicked woman. A woman who (I assume) would wear fishnet stockings in the daytime, drink champagne from the bottle, and dance on table-tops. Certainly not a biographical song!
It was exciting, and nerve-wracking, and fun and just a tad champagne induced.

GIrls on Film - 31/10

So I've never made any claim to be a photographer, of any sort. Though I would love love love a good camera, the list of things I would also love love love is quite long and camera isn't quite at the top.
But I do love taking photos and looking at my photos and looking at other peoples photos.

What a novel idea! 19/10

So I've been thinking about how unimportant the television is in my life. I really don't watch it. Well, look, I do watch Wednesday night ABC, but other than that I just happen to be in the room as B is watching something, or Miss P has her turn.
Don't get me wrong, I think it has it's place and I can't imagine not having the TV, but sometimes I really like the idea of throwing the thing in the back room or throwing a blanket over it as she sometimes does just to hide it away a little......

Pump it Up - 17/10

Some days just stop you in your tracks. Yesterday I got smacked with a wave of appreciation of my life and love. We were on a secluded beach. I was laying, lizard-like, on a warm rock thinking about how much I happiness I have in my life. How much love I have. How much love is showered on me. But it's not very often that you can have complete balance in your life I wouldn't have thought. And no, I don't have the balance perfected, but I am trying.

Rockin' The Suburbs - 11/10

So this is the thing that's been taking up my time, patience and love at the moment. My bass guitar. I've had it for about 6 weeks now and am slowly but surely learning how to play it, how to hold it and how to stand with it.
I also got reconnected with my acoustic guitar so I have constant dimples in my finger tips from the steel strings. For her 3rd birthday, P got a ukulele so we've been having a few jam sessions together. She's definitely musical, asking if we'd like to watch a concert and playing Tracy Chapman, La Roux and Judy Garland.

Hilarious!

Passionate Woman - 23/09

So I found a new passion. Bass guitar. I love it. I love the sound, the reverberations. I love the feel of it. The weight of it. The way I have to stand to hold it. The way it makes my fingers hurt and creates indentations so when I'm typing on my laptop they feel funny. I love it's sexy red colouring.
Yep, found my new thang!
The next instrument I want to buy is called a kalimba. It makes the most beautiful sound, almost childlike. I think I could smash out some cute little ditties on this thing.

Luck has got nothing to do with it! 27/09

I know I know.....
I've posted a few times about fabulous women in my life, but it seems that every few months a new fabulous woman comes along.
B describes it as my latest "Girl Crush". I can't stop talking about my new friend, telling stories about my new friend, fantasising about long cups of tea, or Bibs coffee heated to 80 degrees, or pints of Coopers.
This little town has brought some great women into my life, and they're all different.

I'm a very luck girl.
