Helloooo…

Here I am again…. are you ready?

Well, where to start.
The writers group I am involved with. No. Not starting there…. Last night we went to Cairns to catch up with an old friend Shelly. Shelly’s not old it’s just we’ve known her an awfully long time. We haven’t seen her for maybe seven years but she looks exactly the same. Pre dinner drinks at the casino, then a walk around the city to decide where to eat – all the time talking about what has been going on in our live and the lives of family and mutual friends. Dinner was beautiful, we ate at the ‘North’ restaraunt located in the ‘Sangri La’ Hotel at the pier. The food was supurb, boats bobbing beside us and of course the company…. After dinner to appease the kids we went to ‘Bellissimo’ near the ‘Night Markets’ for some icecream. There a couple of friends we also hadn’t seen for years Rod and Novella found us… amazing coincidence. I still miss having Novella live nearby. After a little chat with them we went our separate ways and Shelly joined us for coffee at the Sebel Hotel – we must have been feeling a little special. The kids and I had the most decadent hot chocolates, Rob a coffee and Shelly behaved with a pot of tea. No wonder she looks so great.
Thanks for spending time with us Shelly and catching us up on all of our friends in Brisbane.

Happy birthday Novella.

Back to what I was going to tell you about… The writers group I am involved with in Innisfail have a new member, nothing new there. BUT, and here is the exciting part…. his name is John, OK I know that’s not exciting either… he has a PhD in Literature. Not only does he know how to write but he is more than happy to share his vast knowledge. In a week or so we are going to have a workshop all about metaphors… ooooh.
In the past few months John has done the same writing exersizes as everyone else in the group… His words as they are read flow… it’s like watching a master watercolourist paint, his words like the paint run, bleed, mix, creating a glorious picture.
