My thoughts are with the good people of Sri Lanka as you mourn the loss of many lives to terror and ignorance. I am sorry for your loss. May God give you the strength to respond to violence not with more violence, but with peace.
Kind Regards
Tracy.

It’s hard to be serious about blogging, ladies and gentlemen, when the sun is shining brightly. So yes, I am still procrastinating. This is not my promised “dear-to-my heart” post, but rather my “fear-to-my-heart” post. When my adrenaline levels peak, I have my werewolves in London moment. I start writing very bad rhyming poetry. It’s insane. Thankfully the urge soon passes. Anyway, here’s the first line –
On a bright and sunny day, Fynnie dog went out to play. Read more
I am having trouble organising/articulating my thoughts for my previously flagged “dear-to-my-heart” post. When I write about serious issues, I like to think that I don’t talk crap – that my discussion is well considered (you can retire the girl from policy analysis but you can’t take the policy analyst out of the girl). So, I have been doing some research and this has taken me down some holes that require, upon emerging, a full body scrub and several showers to feel clean again.
Anyway, this is not said post. It is a link to a short TED talk from ex-shearer and award-winning West Australian C&W singer, Pete Byfield. I caught a performance by Pete at a country market.
Happy lovey dovey day, everyone. It sounds like I’m not sentimental, but first impressions can be deceiving. After nearly 25 years of marriage (drats, I think I forgot my last wedding anniversary), I am still as much in love with my gorgeous man as the first time I ever saw his face. We don’t do the whole Valentine’s Day thing, but as I forgot our last anniversary, I’m going to have to make it up to him somehow. My love wouldn’t have forgotten the big day, but as it coincides with another apparently important anniversary, he would have felt it rude to overshadow the other event, unless of course I happened to mention it first.
To get in the mood for this lovey dovey day (and in the interests of this post), I’ve been listening to some of my favourite love songs/tunes (see my list below). I fear this list may tell you more about me than you would care to know, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. Here goes: Read more
This post is dedicated to my little dog, Ama, who is not well. So far we know that she has copper storage disease but not how bad it is or whether we can mitigate it. I’ve not had much time for blogging lately as we’ve had a lot of medical appointments and I’ve been researching treatments, including low copper diets. It helps to be informed when talking to veterinary specialists. It also gives me something to do while I worry. Read more
This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt — Groove.
As some of you may know, I am a delicate, sensitive flower. I blame it on the boogie. So I want to raise an issue that is dear to my heart, even though this may be an issue mostly in my own head. But it feels real enough. First some background… Read more
