And, I'm rarin' to go with this month's Six Degrees. If you don't know how the #SixDegrees meme works, please check … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Intermezzo TO …

When last month's Six Degrees went to air, I was on holiday in outback Queensland. I have since returned from that wonderful trip, but am now in Melbourne for two weeks, catching up with family, including of course our two gorgeous grandchildren. I could do the grandmotherly thing and wax lyrical about what fun they … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Long Island TO …

It's the start of spring down under and, as some of you know, I am on a holiday in outback Queensland. It's a bit of a sentimental journey for me, but it's a region that is worth visiting regardless of personal connections. Anyhow, my holiday is not what you are here for, so I'll get … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM After story TO …

It's another new month, meaning time for another Six Degrees. Last month, in my introduction, I said that one of the things I like about doing this meme is seeing what book Kate has chosen next. Little did I know when I was writing that post, that the book she had chosen for this month … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM The Museum of Modern Love TO …

Another month, another Six Degrees. This is the only meme I do as a regular thing, and sometimes I wonder why I do it. It is fun to think about how to link books, so it's always exciting to see what book Kate has chosen next. But, is it more than fun? Does it result … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Kairos TO …

Today is the first day of winter here in Australia, and we can feel the chill in the air here in Ngunnawal/Ngambri country (or Canberra). I don't like winter, but my new home (apartment) has the best aspect and we get sun streaming in most of the day in winter (if there is sun, as … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Butter TO …

And so my life settles into its new routine, bouncing between the land of the Wurundjeri Wandoon people of the Greater Kulin Nation (my part of Melbourne) and, where I am this weekend, my home in Ngunnawal/Ngambri country (or Canberra). Autumn is rapidly coming to an end, and it has been mostly a lovely one, … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM The anniversary TO …

I am back in the land of the Wurundjeri Wandoon people of the Greater Kulin Nation, that is, in my part of Melbourne, because not only was it Easter last weekend, but we wanted to take my Californian friend on a road trip through some of New South Wales and Victoria. We saw some great … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Rough guide to Japan TO …

Last #SixDegrees I was in the land of the Wurundjeri Wandoon people of the Greater Kulin Nation, that is in my part of Melbourne, but this month, I'm home in Ngunnawal/Ngambri country. Where will I be next month? Time will tell - and do you care? So let's get to the meme. If you don't … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Tom Lake TO …

I am back in the land of the Wurundjeri Wandoon people of the Greater Kulin Nation, which means I'm back in my part of Melbourne for our family's annual February birthday season. (Three have their birthdays between the 3rd and 9th, inclusive.) It all starts today, that means, but I did have time to prepare … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Demon Copperhead TO …
