Not that I am a name dropper....

BUT look at me and Jenn rubbing elbows with world renowned children's author Mem Fox!!!! I saw a poster at my local library that Mem was speaking at the Marion Cultural Center and I was able to get tickets to a sold out event. When I finally made it to the front of the line to have some books signed I told Mem that I had come all the way from Canada to meet her. She laughed and asked me why I was really here in South Australia. I reluctantly confessed that I was here on exchange. We had a lovely chat. She is funny, enthusiastic and very down to earth. It was an honor and a pleasure to meet her. Thank you Mary Cox for introducing me to her books!

I am having some technical difficulties with my computer. It would seem that I don't understand it. As soon as I become enlightened I will post my Uluru, Central Oz and Darwin shots. It was a great trip. I saw wild camels, wild brumbies, dingos, crocks and birds of all sorts. It was just like being a part of a National Geographic Film.

I am still freezing and wearing my wool socks to bed. The almond trees are in blossom so hopefully spring is just around the corner. I have started a yoga class on Friday nights-the perfect way to end the week. Two hours of yoga and then home to bed. I am starting a wine appreciation class this Wed. I am signing up for the City to Bay Fun Run. Since you all know there is nothing fun about running it goes without saying that I will be walking. I have a bit of a Tim Tam tummy to walk off so I have started training.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer. Lots of love and hugs to you all,
G'Day eh!

PS Sue D-the soup was a big hit with the staff-I even had fresh cilantro that I am growing on my window ledge for it. Yum! Thanks !
