Today’s linkage is writing/book related. Well – most of them… And here we go: *Here’s a nice breakdown of Kindle vs iPad vs Touch Book, prompted by yesterday’s announcement of the iPad and the general hysteria that ensued. * Adele taught Surprise! in the classroom over in Japan this month. This has been one of…
My daughter has something to show you Maxine. Keira decorated her school scrapbooks before she was lucky enough to see Maxine’s collages up close, hung on the wall, last week. As you can see, one has a contemporary flavour; the other is more ‘classical/romantic’. She has others covered with Miss Kitty, My Little Pony, and butterflies sticky…
It happened while we were searching for treats. Standing at the end of an aisle, I was looking at those helpful signs the supermarkets put up as a guide to locate products and there was the one I was looking for (‘confectionery’), when a girl skipped up to us, accompanied by her older sister.

A strange summer’s chill passed over Melbourne this week, and upon this front my family arrived back in town. They’d left me alone for ten days; ten days of peace and time; of thinking and of being nothing, existing in this house. ‘Creative seclusion’ you might say.
