Do you have a friendly pooch and live in Sydney?
Delta Therapy Dogs are sniffing for new Sydney volunteer teams to visit aged care and other facilities to bring joy to someone's day.
I did it for 10 years, and if our current dogs were suitable, I still would be! 🐾🐾

This is still sinking in! I've been accepted into Varuna Writers' online 'Finish Your Memoir' course. Almost didn't apply, but thought 'see how you go'. What a surprise to get this email! Excited yet daunted to work with Kris Kneen, and the other writers, this year. Draft 2 might happen after all!

My kinda ASMR! You can keep your close-mic chewing, crunching and whispering - those sounds flare my anxiety. Nature sounds are more like it: bird calls, doggies' soft panting while paws pad through puddles. High tide at Sydney's Cooks River. Ahhh.... 🙂

An Xmas morning treat - off-lead dog walk by the Cooks River. Trying to stay grounded and thankful amid all the cruelty of this world.

Uncomfortable self-promo post: I sometimes play gigs, singing in a band. This clip is from our last 2024 gig on Sunday, in a Bowie - Iggy Pop - Lou Reed covers show. Our cover of Bowie's 'Starman' ain't too shabby, I reckon.

Earlier this week, Faber Writing Academy launched its 2023-2024 nonfiction anthology, featuring excerpts from works by its students of their narrative nonfiction and memoir courses. I’m chuffed to have a piece in the anthology from my memoir in progress.

Turns out our magpies can sing ‘Thank God it’s Saturday’ too (see yesterday’s post). My goal: Be more magpie!

My pooches Ricky (L) and Penny (R) say ‘Hi’. Ricky’s blowing raspberries at the state of the world. Just like me. 😉
