Up and Running
This year I WILL live up to the resolution I made last year; a new blog at least once a week/month (whichever way I put it).
Speaking of this year; mine got off to a bad start with the passing of my dog that I had, had for 14 wonderful years. I got her when she was a 2 year-old but in the twilight years she had gone blind with cataracts and became cancer ridden.
Despite this, before her passing she still got around on wobbly little legs and a lot slower as well. She became cat-like; sleeping most of the day(and night).
I actually wrote a poem about this a few years ago now when I was doing my Professional Writing diploma ('Goodbye My Little Friend') which was published in my first publication with Ginninderra Press as well as being posted in here and on Facebook.
She is now at rest in our front garden with a plant to mark her special place. As so many of you can relate to.. burying a much loved pet is one of the hardest things we have to do in our life time.
Getting away from the sadness; I'm working on my second(and larger) anthology but can not speculate at this time as to when it will be available.

I have also landed myself paid work, creating 'works of art' with pallet stock. Since making a triple planter box/seat combo for my daughter, the orders have been coming in rather quickly. Three so far and two more in the wings. I'm having a ball earning reasonable sort of money doing what I enjoy most...woodwork. One of the orders filled belongs to a friend's daughter after she had seen what I had made for her father. After a brief chat and dimensions established, the lady asked me if she gets asked about where she got hers could she refer them to me, to which I said, 'Definitely'. Her daughter also placed an order so, I must be on a winner.
Until the next time, take care my readers.
