Writers’ Groups
A couple of posts ago I told you that I was going to a Writers’ Group. In fact I have been to two in the last week, they were both kind of amazing but quite different in their own way. The first was the Boroondara Writers Group who meet once a month in Balwyn. This…

Christmas was kind of fabulous – I got lots of lovely things from my friends and family and it was really very relaxed and cool. On Boxing Day I decided to brave the sales and buy myself an extravagant gift – a brand new digital SLR camera. After shopping around for a while I decided…
