Reflection of my first day at school
It is the beginning of a new school year which brings back memories of my own first day starting in Prep all that time ago in the mid 1960’s at my local school in the outskirts of Melbourne.
Before going into that aspect, I first have to tell you how my mother had prepared me for [...] -

Last year’s family festivities
With three sisters and their extended families to share the festive spirit, Christmas Day and Boxing Day was all about relatives, food, food and more food. As designated driver, I did not have the liberty of indulging in too much alcohol.
Christmas Day began with lunch at my younger sister’s place in Port Melbourne and seven [...] -
My cats
As you are aware, my primary “wild” animal is the Zebra. However, my “domestic” animal is the Cat and I have always had cats in my life from a young age. The cats we had while I was at home with my parents, lived outside. Much to my dismay, my mother did not like having [...]
