After taking a break from Six Degrees in December, I'm back at the beginning of 2024 to take part in this fun meme again. I hope you have all had a good holiday season and are ready for another year of good reading and discussing all things books. One different way of looking at books … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow TO …

Blogging highlights for 2023
As is my tradition, I have separated out my annual Reading highlights from my Blogging highlights, mainly because combining them would result in one very long post. I always do my Blogging Highlights on 1 January, which this year clashes with Monday Musings, unfortunately. All being well, I plan to do my usual first Monday … Continue reading Blogging highlights for 2023
Six degrees of separation, FROM Western Lane TO …

Six degrees of separation, FROM I capture the castle TO …
Daylight savings started in my jurisdiction last week, and I am so happy. I love the longer end of days in summer, and not being woken so early in the morning. I am not so looking forward though to what this forecasted hot, dry summer might bring, but let us be hopeful... meanwhile let's get … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM I capture the castle TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM Wifedom TO …
Woo hoo, our house is sold (though not quite off our hands), and spring has sprung down under (just), so the Gums are feeling ready to begin the next stage of our lives. We are relieved, but, you know, it's acceptance that we are on the downward trajectory - to put it bluntly, so let's … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Wifedom TO …

So now, the BIG CLEAN is done, and we are in the lap of the real estate gods.

Six degrees of separation, FROM Time shelter TO …
Well, the BIG DECLUTTER is essentially done. Now it is the BIG CLEAN. Boring! So let's move on to something far more interesting than how to clean ovens, bathrooms and windows.

Six degrees of separation, FROM Friendaholic TO …
My posting continues to be irregular and erratic, but things are looking up, and we are coming to the end of the BIG DECLUTTER. I really hope to get back to reading more books, and writing more posts very soon - and, to reading all the other blog posts that I've been so neglecting. Meanwhile, … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Friendaholic TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM Hydra TO …
Oh my, oh my, I have not written a post since Monday. I am so focused on downsizing and packing, and everything else involved in selling a home, that I'm not getting much time for anything else - and when I do finally get time, all I want to do is fall asleep on my … Continue reading Six degrees of separation, FROM Hydra TO …
Six degrees of separation, FROM Born to run TO …
April already, and I am back in Melbourne to spend Easter with the family (and feed grandchildren too much chocolate probably!) But that's a week away. Today is Six Degrees time. If you don't know how the meme works, please check meme host Kate's blog - booksaremyfavouriteandbest.
