Douglas Wright.

Last night I went to bed quite late and Brian had the TV on in the bedroom. I was really tired and ready to have a goooood sleep. I got into bed and accidently found myself watching a program on the ABC called "Haunting Douglas". I woke up right quick! The program was about the acclaimed dancer and choreographer Douglas Wright. Wow that guy can move. I never have seen anything like it.....I could'nt take my eyes off the screen. What a lovely late night surprise.

Amazing Grace.

I took a few hours off today and went to the cinema. I saw "Amazing Grace". It starred Ioan Gruffudd as William Wilberforce who tirelessly campaigned for decades to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire. It also tells of his friend John Newton (Albert Finney), a former slave trader, who repented and turned to the church and who also wrote the beautiful song...Amazing Grace. I really enjoyed this moving film and there were a few moments where I thought I would really like to paint a portrait of Mr Gruffudd ....mmmmm....but...you just dont do that .....do ya?.....or do you?

Muse.

Whooo hooo I just got tickets for Muse. They are going to be at The Supreme Court Gardens on the 10th of November.

Bubbleman.

"Searching Without Google" gone to a good home.

The opening of the AinA exhibition at the Old Berlin went off well on Friday night. It was great to see everyone's new work. I was really blown away when Edgar bought my "Searching Without Google" painting. Even though I will miss it I am glad it has gone to a good home. I am really chuffed...whooo hoooo!

AinA at the Old Berlin.

AinA are about to have their annual exhibition. I have been down to the site a few times and it should look fantastic when its all set up. Looking forward to seeing everyone's new work....yahoo!

Bloxorz.

Annie told me about a puzzle game she has been playing. Bloxorz. Now I have started getting in to it. Have'nt really got the time to play it lately though.

Exhibiting.

I am going to be exhibiting works in two group shows next month. The first is at the Old Bakery Gallery along with Bronwen Newbury, Njalikwa Chongwe, Gerry Reilly, Heather Taylor and Trish Ware. It runs from August 5th until September 30th. The second is with AinA and is located at the Old Berlin in Northbridge and opens on the 10th of August .

Big Love.

Talking about T.V. again....there is another show that airs on SBS on Sunday nights that I have become fascinated with. And that show is called "Big Love". It is about a polygamous family and stars Bill Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin. Bill's character has got three wives.....very interesting.

Doctor Who.

I am so glad the new series of Doctor Who is now showing on the ABC. I really have enjoyed watching the new Doc ( David Tennant). Doctor Who was a constant as I grew up and I was delighted when they started making the show again. Its great!

Hello

I'm not really here...really...ruly truly.

We went, We saw, We shopped.

Lorraine and I have just come back from a few days in Melbourne. We had a great time. We wandered around the place, we went to a couple of shows..."Miss Saigon" and "Respect"...they where fabulous...we ate at lovely restaurants and of course we shopped in those gorgeous shops they have over there.....bliss...just pure bliss....a good escape for a few days for both of us ...and now its back to work...yes sir!

Lachlan & Daniel.

Out of wack!

I have'nt posted for a week because I am still a bit discombobulated from the wedding and having Lachie here all week. Megan and Matt's wedding was fabulous. Everyone had a great time. Everyone is still raving about the fabulous food and friendly service provided by John and Karen from JKL Exclusive Caterers. I cant praise them enough...the food was gorgeous and they are a lovely couple. They really helped make Megan and Matt's day extra special...and ours too. The kids are on their honeymoon and we have Lachie. He is gorgeous but I am finding that I'm not getting as much done as I should and I'm a bit tired.....geee...am I getting past it.....probably.....They are picking him up on Sunday...hope to have some photo's next week and I also hope to get back to the normal state of general chaos that I am used to....fingers crossed!

Looking Looking.

Pelicans.

Skinks.

Sweet.

Owwwwwww!!!!!

Boy am I sore...Last night we went poledancing for Megan's hen's night...it was great fun but a bit rigorous and today I am paying for it. This morning we went to the zoo 'cos it was free for Mums because it was Mother's day. It was lovely but all that walking after the previous nights escapades ...mmmmm....not so good. Hey, we learned a few tricks . Like how to swing around a pole . That was at poledancing ....not the zoo...and some other assorted stuff....I would like to do it again but when I am in better shape.....that goes for the zoo as well as poledancing....heh heh.

Dust.

Oh My God!! I've just arrived home and have been greeted by mountains of dust....they have demolished the house behind us and have been preparing the block for building and oh what a mess....I have never seen this much dirt....its going to take me ages to clean this up.......icckkkkkkkk.

Rufus Wainwright.

Rufus Wainwright's new album "Release the Stars" comes out on the 12th of May...I cant wait. He has the most amazing, haunting voice. Triplej have been playing his stuff lately....brilliant!
