And Again.

Daniel.

Bride & Groom.

Ring Bearer.

Stardust.

Last week I made it to the movies and saw "Stardust". I thought it was fun. Billy the goats antics as the innkeeper particularly tickled my funnybone and seeing Robert DeNiro in a petticoat is worth the price of the ticket alone....hee hee.

At the park.

A couple more.

Phone socks for my N95.

Since I went to one of Annie's crochet workshops I have been practising my crochet. That is ....in between babysitting, being unwell...a lot...doing the tax , painting, dancing etc etc. I am starting to get better. Well, at least I feel more comfortable with the yarn and hook. Recently I got a new phone. An N95. I like it a lot but all the little carry thing-a-me's I had for my last phone dont fit my new one so I decided I would crochet a few. Well, I have done a few and a few extra for Nicole's fundraising for the boys to go over east for their quadbike racing.

John Simm as "The Master".

I've only just watched last Saturday's episode of Doctor Who ..... Whooo hooo I can't believe they have brought in John Simm to play the "Master".... hee hee .... just perfect ... cheeky ... I love it ..... and Derek Jacobi playing the "Professor"... cool ...... it sure brightened my sleepless night .... sad aint I.

p.s... thanks Google for fixing the problem with Customize Google Suggest .... I did'nt realize how much I relied on that feature until it was gone.

Well, its all over...once again.

AinA's exhibition is over once again. It went well and it is always great to see everyone. I will have to get stuck in and get some work done for the next one....no rest for the wicked.

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 .

Orang.

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!
