I have started my book.
1stApril 2011. March was a good month. I felt productive and like I was on track. I finally announced my web sites to friends and was happy to see the sites get lots of visits. I was a long tedious … Continue reading
First Month Has Been A Good Challenge.
It’s the start of my second month back home. It has not been as bad as the last few times I returned from holidays, I guess this time is because I have a reasonably good plan and that I also know I need to set up a few things here to make my plans a reality. I am also being supported by ….
It is a great motivator to know you need to make everything work so you can be with the person that is No. 1 in your life, at the same time it is hard because you have the emotional moments when you just wonder if it will ever happen and the next second you want to sell everything to be there with them now! It is a hard ….
I almost have square eyes from staring at the monitor. I have also been typing my journal so I can share some of my experiences with others. The blog site is gradually growing and …. Continue reading
My New Toy Arrived.
I had a nice Surprise late last week my Bandoneon arrived. I couldn’t wait to get it out of the wrapping, this was better than Christmas. I was excited, ha-ha, I don’t know how to play but that’s ok, I sat it on my lap and proceeded to make music,…
I had to organise a new passport, I recommend not getting it wet at the beach, they don’t like water, after the first 2 months of my holiday I started getting stares and questions from immigration officers when entering countries, this turned out to be…
It was testing my resolve a little; I was full of energy and positive. I didn’t sleep much this week but I did get quite a lot done, writing, paid more bills, started the website continued with this blog, looked into…

First week back has been interesting.
The first week home has been interesting. I discovered bills I forgot about, the hot water system apparently broken the week before, my car battery was dead, I had to do shopping to restock cupboards an the fridge, I had to contact the company about the job as a coach and the house felt a little peaceful; ….
I didn’t want to be here in Sydney, unfortunately as lovely an beautiful a place it is I have never felt at home here, existing is good but I want to live, I deserve to be happy and I don’t believe I am asking for much. So the only option I see is to not be here and to plan the escape to freedom….

Welcome home.
27th January 2011. The flight seemed fast, arriving in Sydney I had a pretty smooth walk through customs, I was asked what I was declaring and let through with a welcome. On the way home on the train I notice … Continue reading

Happy Australia Day!
The cab arrived on time and we said high, we recognised each other from previous trips to the airport. I had a good flight to (oops, I mean a good drive) to the airport, the driver was very efficient to say the least.,,,,
Once I found my line I enjoyed a game of passenger ping pong, the QANTAS staff sent me to LAN who sent me back to QANTAS who sent me to LAN who sent me back. I finally had a nice staff member look at the tick carefully and let me in line, from then on the check in was nice and smooth. Staring out of the window I drift off into,,,,
As the flight time gets closer, the QANTAS staff prepare the area and make it as secure as possible using a roped of area. They ask the passengers to go out of the area to have our luggage checked again. Don’t you think it is funny how people want to argue about these small inconveniences? I bet these are the same people that say,,,, Continue reading
One Day to Go.
It was a beautiful day in the city, it was hot and sunny and noisy as usual, (I think I may miss this when I leave). I made myself a gourmet breakfast, it was the best I could do with what was left over, fruit and hamburger patties, these are the best burgers I have ever had anywhere in the world, soft, juicy and felt like a good steak…..
she was looking for, after an interview the day before she wasn’t sure how she would go, not even 5 minutes later she received a call from the employer offering her the job, needless to say she was happy. “You always get what you ask for, just not how you expect it”. I believe this fully, if you can think it, it is possible, so be careful of what you think. “Nothing is impossible, we just don’t know how yet”……
….I think I left an impression this time around, (No! not my foot prints on a ladies dance shoes. I hope it is a good memory and experience). I head home and pack, this should not take long, maybe 2 hours to throw out accumulated junk and 10 minutes to throw it in my bags. Continue reading
The Romanians Are a Fun Lot.
24th January 2011. I had a good morning. I slept in again, I got up to chat to friends and have a late breakfast, a meat patty and salad sandwich. I worked on photos for a while but after about … Continue reading
The Romanians Have Arrived.
I went for a walk to San Telmo to the street markets to drop off a DVD of photos to the orchestra El Afronte. I also wanted to see the shoe horn I had been thinking about a few weeks earlier, I picked it up to have a closer look and the shop owner told me the same story as last time, (maybe it was true), ….
I was given a corner table front row in a pretty good position, I was happy about this tonight. I had a few dances in the beginning of the night and sat around for a while. I was tapped on the shoulder and a man I had met that afternoon at a practica said hi. It was nice to see him; we spoke for a few minutes and…. Continue reading

Am I at the wrong end of the room?
I wanted to go for a walk to the city and see San Telmo, there were a few things I wanted to do and I wanted to see the bandoneon shop, I wasn’t sure if I could go in but at least I would know where it was and it was a beautiful day for a walk. I also had photos of El Afronte from the Wednesday night…
I looked around the room and was happy to get the attention of one lady who gladly accepted my invitation, and we danced for the tanda and sat down. I ordered a drink and looked around for more dances, I was hard to see in my little dark spot, it was a while before I had another dance but I managed to get 3 great dances for the night…..
