The point of roses
Flowers are a waste of time. You canāt eat themā¦ or so my dad vowed and declared most of his life. His bugle shaped Gramma Pumpkins grew crazily on his woodpile. Mum, the Culinary Queen added sultanas and nuts to transform them into tasty, sweet pies for our dessert bowls. For years, flowers were grown by Mumā¦ including vibrant nasturtiums (edible ābread and butterā flowers).

A Snowy Adventureā¦
Sunshine Coastā¦ here we come! Dreams of shimmering golden sands were set to become reality before the sun dipped below the azure horizon once more. Frothy white capped waves restlessly rolled back and forth... waiting to embrace me ever so soon. Memories of delectable fried rice and bubble tea tantalised us. Nothing could stop usā¦ weād be there in time for lunch.

The trioā¦ Reading, wRiting and Running!
I love New Yearās Resolutions! They amaze and inspire meā¦ Iām just not as fond of making and keeping any myself. Theyāre such hard work! Every time Iāve tried to meet them, I fail! I never make it beyond the first month, week or even day.

The Puzzle
There! I catch a glimpse of a loud blue Hawaiian shirt, accompanied by a familiar smile carelessly tossed over his shoulderā¦ evaporating like dew on my carās windscreen. Mentally, I have an itch that begs to be scratched. Where have I seen him before? When? Who is this charming mystery man?

Take a hike!. Top Story - January 2025.
A few brief years ago our merry group set off to climb a āmountainā. Tabletop Mountain ā in S.E. Queensland ā is no Everest, but it was challenge enough for us. Springās searing sun was already high when we abandoned our cars at its base. As the track was neither marked nor maintained, we were grateful to a chirpy, fit teenager climbing with us. Having completed the hike on a previous occasion, she agilely scampered up the incline, calling encouragement down to us. We would have been clueless without her guidance.

Sun, sweat ān surfā¦
A salty combo: sweat ān surf! A bit like Fish ān chipsā¦ The Sunny Coastās Mudjimba Beach parkrun was a siren, calling to me. Just an hour and a half drive north of Brisbane ā Mudjimba Beach, an unspoilt coastal paradise generously offered delights such as surfing, swimming, fishing and bushwalking.
