The Privilege

Today is Election Day in Australia when we vote for who will govern the country for the next three years.To some people having to vote is an inconvenience but really we are privileged to have the freedom to vote for our government unlike in many other countries around the world.

Making a Kokedama

Once again our Simple Living Toowoomba group was treated to a very interesting morning as we learned from Peta how to make a Kokedama then Rick from Birdsong Market Gardens spoke about plant propagation.

A Drizzly Weekend

It has been a drizzly day today. Unfortunately the Lost Trades Fair is on and the drizzle would make it uncomfortable for those who are attending but tomorrow is forecast to be a sunny Sunday so those who have tickets to go tomorrow should have a great day. I didn't brave the crowds today as I went the first year it was held here and it certainly is interesting seeing chairs, buckets etc. being made the old fashioned way.

Lost Trades Fair coming up

Sorry it is such late notice but the Lost Trades Fair is on earlier this year and will be held next weekend on the 4th and 5th May. I know some people who read my blog and live out of town like to know what events are coming up and this really is worth going to.

Going up?

On our recent trip to Melbourne to catch up with family members, we did a little sight seeing on the last day and paid a visit to the Eureka Skydeck in Southbank. I really wish we hadn't left it till then as I found a nice place to sit and look at the boats going up the Yarra River that was reasonably quiet and away from the dreadful crowds in the CBD.
