Woo hoo, tomorrow Daylight Savings starts here in eastern Australia and I can't wait. I love the longer nights, and not being woken by the birds so early in the morning. But that's tomorrow, today is Six Degrees of Separation day. Most of you know by now what that means, but for those who don't, Six … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM The outsiders TO …

Six degrees of separation, FROM Where am I now TO …
Woo hoo, Spring has sprung (just) in the southern hemisphere, and I for one am glad to see the back of winter, albeit the real warmth is a way off yet. And this month, the first day of Spring is also Six Degrees of Separation day. You regular readers here will know what that means, but … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Where am I now TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM Atonement TO …
It's August and the last official month of winter. I'm happy, happy, happy. I'm also happy that it's time again for Six Degrees of Separation. How quickly it comes around. And, like last month, I've read the starting book. First though, the formalities. Six Degrees of Separation is a meme that is currently hosted by Kate … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Atonement TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM Tales of the city TO …
It's July - a cold month in my city - but when this post is published I won't be there. I'll be in the far north, about to start a 12-day tour of Arnhem Land which is not only a fascinating place to visit, but a warm one! However, I didn't want to miss this … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Tales of the city TO …
My literary week (12), some art, a film, and an unseen play
Much as I'd like to, I don't have time to write full posts on the three "events" I'm writing about today, but I do want to at least document them. I don't, in fact, document every film, show or exhibition I attend but I have particular reasons, which will hopefully become obvious, for wanting to … Continue reading My literary week (12), some art, a film, and an unseen play
My literary week (11), in the theatre
I thought I'd join the world of fake news - why not? - and make my post title a lie, a double lie in fact. It's not really "literary" (though it has its moments) and it's not about a week (spanning, in fact, May 24 to June 13). However, the lies end here, as this … Continue reading My literary week (11), in the theatre
Six degrees of separation, FROM The tipping point TO …
June! Wah! It's winter here downunder and I'm miserable. Give me summer anytime. Just as well there are books to distract my mind ... and one great distraction is playing with the Six Degrees of Separation meme. It's currently hosted by Kate (booksaremyfavouriteandbest). Please click the link on her blog-name for her explanation of how … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM The tipping point TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM The Poisonwood Bible TO …
May is the last month of autumn for us in the Southern hemisphere, and what an autumn it's been. So warm. I shouldn't be pleased, however, because the cause is worrying ... so, let's get on to something uncontroversial and non-worrying - our Six Degrees of Separation meme. It's currently hosted by Kate (booksaremyfavouriteandbest). Please … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM The Poisonwood Bible TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM Memoirs of a geisha TO …
Last month I complained about the start of autumn because although I love autumn, I hate winter. This month, another nail went in the warm-weather coffin, with the ending of daylight savings. Oh dear ... The good news for me, though, is that I have actually read April's starting book for the Six Degrees of … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Memoirs of a geisha TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM The beauty myth TO …
Wah, it's now the start of autumn here down under. I love, love, love autumn (and not just because my birthday occurs during it) but it does mean that winter's next and I hate, hate, hate that! We do, however, have fun things to entertain us when things get glum like, for example, The Six … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM The beauty myth TO …
