More Football...

This Sunday just gone, I met my Mum, Dad, younger brother, Aunt and Uncle in Melbourne, and saw the MIGHTY SAINT KILDA beat the Geelong Cats! A fantastic game - I'm already dreaming of wearing Red, White and Black on that one day in September... I've been a saints fan all my life - didn't really have any choice with my Dad being a bit of a fanatic - and am enjoying seeing them win at the moment! Hope the momentum keeps up, and at the end of the year if all goes to plan, I might have to take my Dad up on the pact that we would get some sort of tattoo to commemorate their win... God, how bogan and sad am I?



Saying that, there isn't too many things that I find more enjoyment from in life than a fantastic evening at the football with my family, eating a meatpie at half time and cheering along madly to a close game with a thrilling finish.

To my dearest...

My lovely Nanna, who lives in South Australia, has recently moved from her family home and into a nursing home, and I have been lucky enough to be given some treasures from her house. Among some of the beautiful old bits and pieces are an amazing collection of postcards and old family photographs.

This cigarette tin and album are full of the most beautiful, delicate notecards and photographs, the detail in them are amazing. I'm fascinated by the precise handwriting and illustrations, and the fact that this was the way that people kept in contact.

They're so precious, I feel so lucky to be looking after them. What a wonderful source of inspiration.

Things...

.... that I am most proud of in my life :



Being one of two organisers for a two-day mini-music event in Ballarat, to raise money for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal. Such a massive task, and I probably took on far too much, but it all worked out in the end - with a lot of help from others. And we raised a lot of money, which was the main point.



Getting up to the fourth issue of Thaw Magazine... from a basic idea between a few friends, to an actual, real, printed magazine - that actually sells copies - this is one project that I don't care at all about the money, it's all about how wonderful a project it is that I have put together, with Rohan and Kim - and a lot of contributers. Go to the Thaw website on the side of this page for more info, or if you want to contribute - we're always after creative people from Ballarat!



My wonderful family, and the awesome relationship that I have with them. I am very blessed and totally lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.
