Weird words

April 10, 2022April 13, 2022 / Storyteller / Leave a comment

My first computer was a 486. They’d be worth a bomb now! it was before the days of Windows and Google. You had to do a programming course to understand it. It was kinda funny cause even when you typed in a command you had time to go and make yourself a cup of tea. … Continue reading Weird words

Don’t come the raw prawn with me

November 15, 2021March 19, 2022 / Storyteller / Leave a comment

Today I wanted to be here 'in case the sh*t hits the fan'. Mum had a fall today and was taken away in an ambulance. She should be in a nursing home they'll say. Well 'don't come the raw prawn with me' cause we all know she just 'won't cop that'! That old chestnut People … Continue reading Don’t come the raw prawn with me

I love Gozleme

November 15, 2021March 19, 2022 / Storyteller / Leave a comment

I was 'a bit gobsmacked' on the weekend. I scrolled through some blog posts of our local community group. In one post this bloke was 'having a go' at the lady that runs our local cafe. He was 'banging on' about how his pie was soggy. Oh 'for Pete's sake' it's a pie. Talk about … Continue reading I love Gozleme

Chin wag

I was looking 'rough as guts' after my morning session at the gym. It's bad enough when you aren't strong enough to put your 'head in a pony' but one glance in the mirror and I balked at the idea of heading back out. I 'didn't look like anything to write home about' so wasn't … Continue reading Chin wag

Ep 4: Job hunt – Urgency of Time

January 19, 2021December 11, 2021 / Storyteller / Leave a comment

I felt the urgency of time 'breathing down my neck', 'knocking at my door', shouting at me to 'get my affairs in order'. The voice of my mother "don't leave it too long". You can really love your job and then one day you just 'wake up and smell the roses'. My arts degree wasn't a … Continue reading Ep 4: Job hunt – Urgency of Time

Ep 3: #Job Hunt – Twist of Fate

January 1, 2021January 18, 2021 / Storyteller / 1 Comment

(with audio) Previously it was The Blow In. Now the saga continues! So I was hightailing it back to Sydney. A 10 hour straight trip in my not so reliable car. Cruising along hour after hour. Day turns to night. Civilisation to bush, and we've got a heck of alot of bush around here! It was the middle … Continue reading Ep 3: #Job Hunt – Twist of Fate

Ep 1: #Job Hunt – That elusive first job

December 29, 2020November 10, 2021 / Storyteller / 1 Comment

Ep 1 (with audio) After speaking to my friends daughter recently I realised she and her friends think having trouble getting a job after leaving school is new to their generation. I'm sorry to break it to you. We don't always get things 'served on a silver platter'. I certainly didn't. I've been 'scraping the … Continue reading Ep 1: #Job Hunt – That elusive first job
