Sad Blog

Ok, this is so typical of me. Poor, sad attempt at blogging. No more, tis time to get my bloggy head on and entertain you all (no one) with my rollicking stories!
Where to begin?? So much has happened between lonely posts.

We have moved again. The "comfortable" house really was NOT!! Think I may have been a tad optimistic. It was horrible. Mouldy, dark and depressing. So very glad we are out, my poor boys were awfully sick there. We have moved to a, wait for it, McMansion!!! It is humungous, over the top, fugly, really a mansion. Such 1st world crap.  It's curious, I find myself apologising for the house. It's so not me, it's over the top, it's in a street full of them, very much not my kinda thing. Yet, the absolute truth is I have no right to make those excuses. It's luxurious, a mansion, that most people on the planet would be grateful for. I am grateful, as much as I still dream of raising my boys on a little earthy farm, this place is warm, light, easy, mould free, comfortable and spacious. We are damn lucky, even having dreams of a farm with any possibility of becoming a reality is lucky. We are incredibly fortunate.   
  
My boys are beautiful, happy and healthy. The big fella is well. The family has been through the wars with illness. One of my sisters is still having problems, but she would hate me writing about it so I will stop. 
I have been allowing the time to create. I
have plans, exciting. Here's one thing I'm working on, I have a few. All works in progress. Naturally.


The King in progress.

  Oh, we have a new leader. 
  Elected!!! by the people. 
  Too too sad.My feelings best

The Experiment

Oh my..... May last year.... doesn't really matter as I have no followers ;- / . I think maybe the big fella tried. I have this strange desire to see how long it takes to get a follower without actually telling anyone...don't ask me why, an experiment. I do have links to my blog, but only when you click on my name (forgive the lack of tech talk) and I don't advertise it. Maybe no-one will ever stumble across it, well they have, but stumble across and find it amusing enough to follow???? I guess that could be considered a mini triumph cause it would demonstrate that you can remain reasonably anonymous in cyberspace???? mmm, but i love that absurd little thrill I get when I have new follower on pinterest - I don't advertise that either, save for a few people, but that is much more accessible.  Anyhoo, blahdy blah, very interesting- my kids are talking non-stop, fighting..., can't concentrate.....later!

HELP!

After months of forgetting I actually have a blog......


I bought this poster some time ago from Wieden + Kennedy, and I have to say it is absolutely beautiful in it's meaning, simplicity and intention.

Not forgetting the Queensland and Victorian floods and the Christchurch earthquake (I know there are many dire situations all over the globe. If those of us that can donate to at least one charity, as often as possible, it will make a difference.) I have found that a direct debit set-up has worked really well for me- I have hardly noticed the difference, but it has probably been the most effective donation that I can offer given it's continuity. I have been doing this with Oxfam for 2/3?? years, $20 a month. I must emphasise that we are most definitely NOT rolling in cash, but are, in lots of ways, extremely lucky human beings! Consider a donationMake sure you check with Scamwatch first. Remember we can donate with time


And now for something close to me, and, unfortunately, quite likely to affect someone close to YOU!!! 


Discoveries Need Dollars. Protect Medical Research.


It is amazing how much donations, in one form or another, can alter people's lives, people like myself who would never have thought that would be the case. My partner's treatment wasn't even available 6 years ago, and still wouldn't be without donations- whether that be monetary,donating information,time or skills, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that people gave, for nothing, and that has meant absolutely everything to us!!! I am at a loss to explain how thankful I am. 
Now for a cure, here's how you can help.

Which leads me to this. Cures need research, to even think about cutting funding to research is crazy, money will be saved if we have a healthier population- it makes absolutely no sense. 
Here's what could happen. Please get involved.
