Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Sleepy Time

On Wednesday night I was asleep before 8.30pm and except for a brief toilet break at midnight, I slept until 7am!

Hence no blog post.

I felt fabulous for the sleep - I obviously needed it.

Wednesday had been a big day with meditation early, big sales all day and the continuing procession of people asking me not to sell/close the shop.

I was fully energised for today.

In between customers I finally finished wrapping all of the Christmas presents and sent them in the mail. One box cost $50 to send!!!

Sales were again really good and there was more pleading to keep the shop open.

I received my package of Christmas gifts from Beautiful Girl With Long Blonde Hair.

I think we are going to get wet tonight … 

Tonight was the debut of the Sex and the City reboot “And Just Like That” which Adoring Husband and I watched together. They showed the first two episodes and the second one was pretty heart wrenching! I wasn’t expecting that!

Now it’s heading towards midnight so I need to sleep.



Nite all.

Greatness!

Crazy day!

Aggie and Maid Marian joined me for morning coffee and were there until almost 11am. We were only interrupted by pesky customers twice so it was nice to be part of the conversations.

After they left, I started wrapping Christmas gifts to send in the mail, but didn’t get very far because quite a few ‘non-paying’ customers came through the door. They still needed my attention.

Sales were very low until 1pm when I had two separate customers spend a fortune and bolstered my sales considerably - making it a GREAT sales day!

Journaling class was very unproductive because there was too much news to catch up on.

We set up for meditation before we left and then stopped for groceries on the way home.

Dinner was giant stuffed mushrooms with a side of chicken thigh. I stuffed the mushrooms with garlic, onion, capsicum, grated sweet potato, chopped bacon, grated lactose free cheese and white pepper. I put two slices of cheese on top and cooked them in a hot oven for 15 minutes, then grilled them for 10 minutes.

They were delicious!

It is now way after midnight and I need to sleep! I have an early start tomorrow and I haven’t even finished working for the day!




Nite all.

Play Date

It was an early start for me.

It was also a struggle because I got all absorbed in some video interviews with Drs and Scientists regarding vaccines last night and it was 1am when I looked at the clock and realised that sleep is more important!

Luckily I fell asleep instantly and my alarm woke me at 7am so at least I got a solid six hours.

Aggie was right on time to pick me up at 9.15am and we all met Beauty at Su Jus Bar for coffee and juices. I even partook of a delicious piece of GF mango cheesecake!

We all rushed around doing some important shopping - clothes, bras, Christmas gifts etc

At midday we all loaded our purchases into the back of the car and drove to Salt Cafe to meet The Brains Trust, who had snuck off to attend an appointment, for lunch.

Compared with the usual standard, lunch was a little disappointing. Aggie and I had grilled barramundi which was a little dry. Our salads were very different, each overloaded with different ingredients, mine with cherry tomatoes, hers with marinated capsicum and cucumber.

The other girls enjoyed their lunches, especially The Brains Trust who ordered a steak burger and the other two selected nasi goreng.

After lunch we browsed in the gift shop and walked down the stairs to Luxe where I found one nice white top to buy. 

While conversing with the owners, I discovered that neither of them were vaccinated and we shared the same views. She added a packet of chocolates to my bag and a book that she had created that has some of her favourite verses and psalms from the bible.

I have, at various times in my life, been curious about the bible, but have never read it in its entirety. I was touched that she was offering me something that meant so much to her so I accepted it gratefully.

As I stepped outside, Aggie was finishing a phone call from our mutual friend who had just been to visit Bombshell in hospital. It was a positive report and even though she’s not completely out of the woods yet, it seems that she is healing well and is on the mend. There is still one more surgery to go.

We had one stop for The Brains Trust to buy some special coffee beans before we headed home.

By the time we were halfway home, I was feeling quite weary and ready for a nap!

There was leftover baked dinner that I heated up for Adoring Husband’s dinner, so that was easy and I’d eaten enough during the day that I wasn’t interested in food. I snacked on a couple of GF tomato flavoured long crackers later in the evening but the best part was my anti-inflammitea late afternoon.

AH and I watched a fluffy Christmas movie this evening before we both headed off to bed.

It’s been a big eventful tiring day and I am ready for sleep.




Nite all.

Pleasant

It has been a very pleasant Sunday.

After a good nights sleep between my fresh clean linen sheets (even though my sleep was interrupted by a massive storm) I woke around 8am.

Adoring Husband brought my lemon water and I had a nice lazy start in bed.

We had a lunch date at the Bowls Club with the Welsh Wonder and her hubby The Energiser Bunny so we made ourselves presentable and drove to the club ready to meet with them at midday.

We were a little early so AH got us some beverages and I put my keno on, then grabbed a couple of menus from the restaurant.

Our friends arrived and we chatted for about 20 minutes before ordering our food. AH and I both ordered the creamy garlic prawns with rice and salad.

The meal was very average, which was disappointing because many people have told us that the food had improved.

It hasn’t.

The Welsh Wonder and I decided to have a play on the pokies, but neither of us had any luck.

After two and a half hours, AH and I left them to finish their drinks and headed to the supermarket for veggies to have with our roast chicken for dinner.

Neither of us finished our lunch so we were feeling peckish by dinner time.

Roast chicken with sweet potato, pumpkin, potato, onion and broccoli with home made gravy.

Delicious 

I have another lunch date with my girls tomorrow and here we are after midnight already!

Best get some sleep, but before I go, another covid jab story 

Nite all.

Sweet Saturday

We seem to have some intense weather moving rapidly north towards us!


It seems to be intensifying as it gets closer so this might be interesting!

I had good sales at the shop for my Saturday morning.

It was a hot day so we went for a swim as soon as we arrived home and the water was lovely.

After the swim, I changed my bedding so I’m currently feeling very fresh and clean between my linen sheets.

We had lamb cutlets for dinner with a salsa salad followed by fresh fruit salad for dessert.

Here is my vax contribution for today.

From Ashleigh …

I’d like to share Rory’s story. 

*please note I have used key word ‘V’ to avoid this post being deleted* (vaccination)

As many of you may know my fiancé Rory passed away on the morning of 17 November. 

I believe my partner was a victim of adverse cardiac reaction caused by the ‘v’

Rory regretfully had his first ‘v’ on the morning of the 5th of November. He started feeling heart flutters that evening, we put this down to stress as we were in the process of selling and buying a house and planning a wedding. 

We never, ever considered the events that followed. 

Rory had heart palpitations regularly at night, and again, we thought this was stress. 12 days later, Rory was up and down again during the night with his heart palpitations and an ‘uncomfortable’ feeling in his chest. We finally decided to head to hospital at 3am for reassurance. 

Within moments, Rory went into cardiac arrest and died instantly in our home. 

After 40 minutes of attempts/ CPR from the paramedics, he was pronounced dead.

He was 26 years old, with no pre-existing medical conditions. He played rugby, went diving and hunting on the weekends, worked hard as a plumber, and had his whole life ahead of him. 

We had our whole life’s ahead of us!

Initial Autopsy report: unknown cause of death.

Further report focused on heart problems will take an extended amount of time to receive final conclusion.

I initially stated that Rory had chest pains prior to the ‘v’ and commented this on posts. This was in hopes of getting insensitive posts regarding his death removed, while we went through a time of utmost hell and grief. 

The media attention we received was overwhelming and unwelcome. 

- Why are young and fit people experiencing heart issues? 

- Why are ‘v’ related deaths not reported on our 1pm updates or any media releases? 

- Why is the government protecting the elderly from c19, but not protecting healthy young men from this ‘V’?

If we had known about these issues, maybe we would have thought twice about this, and Rory would still be with us. 

For our families, this is about informed consent. 

Why are we not told about these side effects and what to do if we experience them? 

We need to talk about this. 

Ever since Rory passed, I have had multiple people contacting me with their stories of their experiences  (mostly cardiovascular related). Personally I have had both shots and was previously pro-‘V’, so have been on both sides of the fence blindly following misinformation. 

I urge anyone who experiences any heart symptoms post ‘V’ to seek medical advice at a hospital immediately. 

Please share this post to spread awareness about heart related side effects due to the ‘V’. 

26 year olds should not be going into cardiac arrest. 

Please keep comments sensitive to our families, I am not here to debate the pros and cons of the ‘V’ and will not be replying to any argumentative comments. 

This is Rory’s story ❤️

Another sad vax story.

I’m beginning to hear the distance rumble of thunder as the storm approaches! 

I’m feeling a bit weary now so I think it’s time for sleeping. Adoring Husband and I have a lunch date tomorrow which we are looking forward to.

Nite all.

Freak Me Out


Two in Queensland - Pinkenba (800 rooms near the airport) and Wellcamp (1000 rooms near Toowoomba), one in Melbourne and one in NT.

Who knows how many others.

It was a great day at the shop with excellent sales and more visitors giving me advice on whether or not to sell the shop.

I’m definitely feeling wanted and needed 😬

I got some more of the inventory done - about halfway there.

The day passed quickly and I almost jumped into the pool when we arrived home but by the time I’d brought in the washing and hung out the next load and folded the first lot and put away the groceries and made my tea, I just plonked my butt onto the couch and that’s where I stayed.

There’ll be time for swimming tomorrow - weather permitting of course.

All of the things that I planned to do last weekend, that stayed on the ‘to do’ list because I was sick, hopefully will get done this weekend!

Fingers crossed.




Sleep time.

Come One Come All


Three NZ Doctors deregistered for asking questions, speaking the truth and disagreeing with government PHOs and mandates. They share some great facts that the media and others are withholding.

My day was incredibly interesting and highly unusual for the types of customers/visitors that came in.

When I say ‘some people’ I mean at least three …

Some people came in to verify that I was closing and expressed their disappointment and told me that the shop would be greatly missed.

Some people heard that I was unvaccinated and that the ‘covid mandates/situation’ was my reason for closing. They used their time attempting to convince me that I should ride it out and that things were changing fast. Blah blah blah

Some people came in to tell me that they too were unvaccinated and then proceeded to purge all the information/stats/data that they had accumulated.

Some people heard I was closing and had never been in the shop before so they figured they should check it out.

Some had absolutely no idea what was going on 😳

I got some more of the inventory done. It’s certainly eye opening! Who knew I that had built up such wealth in stock! I’m only a quarter of the way through as well!

I enjoyed a green smoothie for breakfast and for lunch, a few mouthfuls of leftover bangers and mash.

It was nice to put my feet up and relax watching my quiz shows this afternoon with my special tea.

Before I cooked dinner, I did a couple of loads of washing.

I concocted a chicken dish with mushrooms, onion, cherry tomatoes, garlic, red wine, my cauliflower soup  and a couple of tablespoons of chicken liver paté. Very tasty!

We watched an interesting show on United Arab Emirates before bed. An amazing country with a rich history and incredible wealth used to design and build beautiful architecture and find innovative answers to the environmental problems, like the excessive heat and bringing fresh water to their date plantations when their annual rainfall is only 5cm per year!

It made me want to go there.

Not so psychotic dog Colli had a haircut today …


Now it’s approaching 11pm so sleep time for me.

Nite all.

Stormy Weather


That’s courageous!

It was another quiet day in the shop, although I did pass my happy minimum this time.

The weather was a bit volatile and stormy so the thunder and rain might have kept lots of people indoors.

There was no meditation this morning because the big rains west of Childers made the roads too dangerous for The Gypsy to drive in.

That suited me.

There will only be one more meditation class before I close the shop.

One more art class.

No more orders.

One big sale.

I started doing inventory today. That was interesting 🧐 Stock + furniture and fittings.

I also selected my favourite jewellery pieces from the cabinet!

Adoring Husband and I arrived home just before the big rain hit and it was lovely sitting in the lounge room listening to the heavy rain on the tin roof. It lasted a couple of hours and the pool looked like it might overflow!

Bangers and mash for AH’s dinner.

The good shows on TV are all over so there’s no trash to watch.

Instead, I read a whole stack of ‘good Samaritan’ stories. I was feelin’ good! Here are a couple of them …

1.  At the beginning of the pandemic, I was volunteering at a local pizza shop to distribute slices to kids who otherwise couldn't get fed because the schools were shutdown.

There was a woman with 3 kids that came by every few days to get slices. Turns out the father had died unexpectedly right before the pandemic started and they lost their house because of the slumlord they were renting from.

The mother lost her job because she had no one to watch the kids. They were living in their minivan and things were bad for them.

They were so nice and grateful, but ashamed when they'd come by to get slices that I genuinely felt for them.

I had lost my job and got a pretty decent windfall of 2 months worth of unemployment and the CARES Act at once. My landlord had a few properties open and is a close friend, so I got in touch with him and we worked out me paying their security deposit and the first 2 months of rent and he'd cover their utilities.

I gave her his number and said he might be able to help and they moved in the next day. They've been there ever since and are doing extremely well now.

2.  When I was 19 I needed blood work done and it was super icy out. I’d just finished and was getting ready to leave when two elderly ladies came in. They commented on how slippery it was and if the clinic had anyone to help them walk back to their car.

They were told no, so I sat back down and waited. Half an hour later they went in and the receptionist told me I could leave, I was done. I told her "I know" and sat there.

When the ladies came out they looked a little scared to walk outside and I stood up and said I’d heard them ask for help and I would help them to their car.

I walked the ladies one at a time, letting them hold me for support as I shuffled us to their car. Then, after they were both safely inside, I scraped the ice off their car so they could leave.

They offered me money, but I refused and just wished them safe travels.

After they left I went to my own car, where I proceeded to fall on my butt fives times.

The motivator sent me this to end my day on a pretty great note …


Nite all.

It’s Time

 From Bec 

“So now is the right time to share what I have been going through these last 8 weeks in the hopes to help someone else who has experienced something similar and spread awareness. This isn’t for opinions or political views this is to share what happened to me and what has happened to others. 8 weeks ago I had an adverse reaction to my first shot. I started to develop sharp stabbing pains in my chest which went on for most of the day. That night I got into bed to rest & see how I felt. The pains started to get worse, sharper and closer together. I started feeling these weird hot/cold heart surges then had the sharpest pain from my elbow to wrist then all of a sudden my whole left side went pins and needles and numb. I told my husband to call an ambulance. As he was on the phone I then started to shake uncontrollably as well as the chest sensations. The ambulance finally arrived & off I went to the hospital. The head of ED told me reactions like this haven’t been uncommon lately & a lady next to me has almost identical symptoms. He said this was an adverse reaction. Unfortunately the DR who discharged me the next day told me I was just anxious and to make sure I don’t skip the second. The next day I then developed the worst head pressure I have EVER experienced like my head was going to literally explode. For someone that has never suffered headaches or migraines this was scary. I was back in ED another 2 times within the next 1.5 weeks. Finally after the 3rd visit & first time at TCH it was confirmed I developed Pericarditis as a result of the v as well as a bunch of other issues that couldn’t be explained. The DRs & nurses at TCH were nothing short of amazing & investigated every avenue & confirmed it was an adverse reaction to the Pfizer. 

I’m still 9 weeks later having tests and appointments to get to the bottom of everything but I finally feel like it’s time to share. This is happening & as much as people hope it isn’t, it is real & it has affected my body. I am definitely better than I was 9 weeks ago & most of that is thanks to real stories like mine & taking charge of my own recovery when no one else knows what to do or say.

Part 2 

Today is actually 3 months post injury, I was back in hospital last week in the cardiac ward. Unfortunately I still have a headache /head pains still but the pressure seems to have gone for good and my muscle spasms are less and less. I finally feel like I won't be like this forever”

This is one of thousands of stories that mainstream media don’t share, so I’m going to share them here sometimes.

I was feeling better today, not great, but well enough to open the shop. It was hardly worth the effort with only two small sales all day.

The Happy Hippy did some steaming for me and I took delivery of candles and essential oils which I had to unpack, check, price and display.

Other than that, I took it easy because my energy is still low and my tummy is still a bit tender after cramping for two days.

In my head I’m already starting to make plans for my future without the shop. It doesn’t feel so happy anymore.

The world doesn't feel so happy anymore. Life is no longer under my control and I want to make the most of what little freedom I have left.

Sounds a bit morose doesn’t it?

I’ve started a list of all the things I’m going to do in the privacy of my own home that are going to bring me joy, peace and creative happiness.

My second retirement will be AMAZEBALLS!

Time for sleep. It’s 10.30pm and as long as the weather holds out, meditation should be on tomorrow.



Nite all.

Insightful


I am always left questioning everything after listening to Candace Owen. 

She sees the world through very different eyes and is not sucked into the vortex of current trends. She tends to come at subjects from very different angles and forces you to open your mind to viewpoints that you least expect.

She is courageous, bold, intelligent, articulate and commanding.

I don’t always agree with her but am very much drawn to hearing what she has to say.

I am still in bed with a lingering headache and very low energy.

Adoring Husband has been checking on me every hour or so and has been at my back and call, currently heating up some of my chicken soup which will be the first real food I’ve taken since 6pm Friday. It’s now midday Sunday.

It’s a grey day with misty rain and if I can find the motivation, I may try the pool later.

I’ll definitely require a nap after lunch - although I slept a solid 9 hours last night! I’d only slept for 90 minutes out of the previous 40 hours so my body was screaming for some healing rest.

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed that the new exciting BS virus is an anagram of Moronic - wondering if they did that on purpose.

I found this though …


That’s it from me. Obviously my world has been uninspiring for a couple of days and there’s nothing to share.

Nite all.

Sickly State

I have been very unwell.

It all started mid Saturday afternoon with horrible stomach cramps - a bit like labour pains - they came and went every half hour or so and then increased in frequency until they were about 2 minutes apart.

I tried to sleep but couldn’t get comfortable. My muscles began cramping (ALL of them) and my legs were ticking so every time I dozed off, my legs jerked me awake.

At 4am the vomiting started - for 5 hours.

From 9.30am I had what felt like a marble stuck in my throat and sometimes it was a struggle to breathe. I couldn’t sleep for longer than ten minutes and tossed and turned all day. I was exhausted!

Finally, at 4.30pm I dozed off for 90 minutes.

It’s now almost 11pm and the only thing left is some tenderness in my tummy.

It definitely wasn’t food poisoning - I have my suspicions about what it was and I’m disappointed that my days off were wasted in this way.

I’ve had half a glass of tonic water with zinc in it, one slice of watermelon and an aspro twice during the day.

I’ve only just started to drink water because my stomach has stopped cramping.

It has been a long 33 hours.

Not as long as for Blonde Bombshell who is really struggling with her injuries from the car accident. 

She has to endure a list of surgeries a mile long and has a tough road ahead of her to heal the damage to her poor body.

Once again, life as she knows it will be changed forever.

Now it’s time for me to attempt a decent nights sleep.

Nite all.

Out To It

I fell asleep at midnight.

I woke at 2am to pee.

I next woke at 10am!

Good Lord!

Unheard of!

The Covid stuff filled my time until lunch time when Adoring Husband made me a coffee with macadamia milk and then I remembered the crab in the fridge so shelled some of that and sat on my couch with a plate full of crab meat and my macadamia nut coffee.

We watched a couple of fluffy Netflix Christmas movies.

I love fluffy Netflix movies - especially Christmas movies.

During all of this I watched the live streaming of rallies against covid mandates all over Australia. 

Launceston, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast, Perth, Broome, Sunshine Coast, Ballina, and this is Hervey Bay …






Approximately 2000 in Hervey Bay.

And lots of regional areas.

Here’s something of interest. One of our locals who has magic hands with wood created this …

He asked me to paint eyes on Ned Kelly but they looked ridiculous so he cleaned them off and brought the completed piece back to show me.

It’s pretty amazing.

I cooked up a green curry chicken for AH’s dinner. I had more crab and a fruit salad.

Now it’s almost midnight!

I’ve enjoyed my whole Saturday off and now look forward to two whole more days of laziness.

Shout out to Blonde Bombshell who is hopefully recovering well in RBH after a car accident today. We are all thinking of you and sending positive healing energy in your direction.

Sleep time now.

Nite all.

Covid: Report reveals increase in risk of heart attack following the mRN...


This is when the long term side effects begin to reveal themselves and it’s important for everyone to know so that they can get help quickly if they begin to feel symptomatic.

I closed the shop at midday and still passed my happy minimum in sales so that was satisfying.

The only reason I opened today was because I had to make a sign for the door advising that I would be closed until Tuesday. I also had to put a post on FB about it. 

A customer was coming in to pick up a purchase.

I had to upload and edit the photos from yesterday.

On the way home, we stopped at the seafood guy and got some prawns for lunch. I also ordered 3 crabs to be picked up later in the afternoon.

I made prawn, avocado and mango salad with home made seafood sauce.

I was so distracted when we left the shop that I couldn’t remember if I’d locked the door so Adoring Husband kindly drove back after lunch to check it.

Then I realised that I’d forgotten to contact one of the art girls about the cancelled art class and her phone number was at the shop.

So at 4pm when it was time to pick up the crabs, we stopped at the shop so that I could make the phone call.

All in all it was probably a busier Friday than usual!

We’ve had some more nice rain during the day. 55mm on Thursday night.

I’m looking forward to my mini break - even if it’s only one more day off than usual! 

It’s already past my self imposed 11pm curfew so I’m off to sleep.

Sisterly Love

My sister turned 50 today.

She was seven years old when I left home so it feels weird to think of her as 50.

I mailed her gift on Friday and she received it on Monday! Unheard of!

Happy birthday little sis. Luvyalotsxo 

My friend Lady Lynn also had a birthday today! 

Even though I think she wears her age beautifully, I know she is sensitive about it, so out of respect, I will not state it here. 

Screw that!

Happy 72nd birthday Lady Lynn 🥳💐🎂🥂🎉 

I love you and miss your face.

I had a busy day at the shop and had some great conversations with like minded people. I did not know they were like minded until today so it was a very pleasant surprise.

You know what I mean by ‘like minded’ right?

Of course you do.

Today, I received an email response from one of the Fraser Coast Council members telling me why he voted for keeping the vaccine mandates.

His response was nothing new and all he did was repeat the usual narrative coming from mainstream all the while telling me that he’s done his own independent research.

So I replied thanking him for being the one out of 46 to respond, suggesting where he could do some research and hoping that in the future he would find himself on the right side of history.

At the end of my day I had to dust off  my camera to meet the Dart Out man who took me to The Stokers house where I photographed a large jigsaw puzzle and a big old black dog.

This was a paying job.

For dinner, I made chicken and mushrooms in creamy garlic and white port sauce. Bloody beautiful with steamed asparagus.

I just watched the very happy ending to The Bachelorette. She chose well.

I had a small win in Powerball and aim to win the jackpot of $80 million next week.

Now I’m off to bed.

Years Ago

Twenty four years ago today, I lost my Dad.

I can’t believe that it’s been that long.

He wouldn’t have coped with this pandemic business. He was a bit of a hypochondriac as he got older so he probably would have driven me bonkers!

I’m grateful that I haven’t had to worry about my Mum and Dad during this time. It must be very stressful for anyone with elderly parents.

It was a pretty quiet day in the shop and I didn’t quite reach my happy minimum in sales.

The thing worth mentioning today is that Fraser Coast Council voted 7 - 3 against the mandates that will be in place from 17th December, so we are a step closer to becoming a ‘pro-choice’ zone just like Yeppoon.

I took it upon myself to email the offending three councillors to ask them why. No reply as yet.

Also no reply from the 43 emails that I sent out yesterday!

I received a box of Intrinsic stock today. It was stock that I preordered a month ago and had forgotten about. There is another preorder of candles and oils due this week too.

It was duck breast with salad for dinner tonight.

I bought some macadamia milk through the FROG shop this week so Adoring Husband attempted to froth it with the coffee machine. It worked very well! It was too late in the day for me to have a coffee but I’m looking forward to a macadamia nut coffee in the morning.

Now it’s almost 11pm so I’d best sign off and snuggle into bed.

My Chicklet had surfing lessons on Phillip Island today.

Weathery

What a ‘weathery’ couple of days we’ve had!

85mm of rain collected in our rain gauge over 24 hours.

I think we’ve got a couple of days of sunshine coming up and the rains will come again on Friday.

Even though sales were good enough to reach my happy minimum, today was not busy in the shop so I took it upon myself to send 43 emails to every QLD Senator and MP (a first for me!) I could find.

I have never felt so strongly about anything in my life and I am fearful enough for our future that I want to fight for it.

My fears have nothing to do with the pandemic.

So after a lovely coffee morning with The Brains Trust, Aggie and Maid Marian, that’s what filled my work day.

There were lots of heavy rain showers, and just when I  thought they were over, another one would hit hard and fast, which is probably what kept the customers away.

There was no journaling class this afternoon so I set up the room for meditation and was able to come home and make a chicken, tomato and rice dish to pop in the oven for a couple of hours. 

I had some leftover chicken from last night and some watermelon. Just a little nibble really.

I’ve made a deal with myself to have lights out by 11pm. I haven’t been settling into sleep until after 1am for over a week and even though I’m sleeping soundly, it’s not enough sleep and it’s wearing me out so I need a better routine.

Just before I say good night, here is my little Bubba Hazie …

'What Percent Of CDC Employees Are Vaccinated?': Cassidy Grills Walensky...


Just a little mini video worth watching.

I had a lovely morning at Arkarra Tea Gardens with a combination of my art girls and meditation girls. We met for brunch but there was nothing on the menu that appealed to me so I ordered a pot of tea and watched ten ladies eat!

It was a very relaxed and funny morning and we discovered the one thing that we all have in common - a terrible memory! Our conversations were mostly filled with describing things or people so that somebody else could come up with the correct thing or name that we were talking about.

We were hilarious.


After only two hours we all said our goodbyes and headed home.

Well! The heavens that had been threatening all morning opened at the Toogoom turnoff and we could barely see the road in front of us. There were rivers flowing on both sides of the road and we aquaplaned a couple of times.

It was horrendous and with nowhere to stop we had to soldier on. It continued until we reached our turnoff where it was still raining but nowhere near as heavy.

I thanked the girls for delivering me safe and sound to my home and by this time I was feeling quite peckish so it was perfect weather for chicken soup out of the freezer and heated up on the stove top.

After lunch, Adoring Husband and I drove to the post office to pick up my parcel (Roogenic’s tea) and bought a whole chicken from the butcher for dinner.

AH had to drive to the local shops to meet a couple of tradies about some jobs that needed doing so I got to spend some time alone.

Roast chicken with sweet potato, carrot, zucchini, asparagus and home made gravy for dinner followed by berries and Zymil cream for dessert.

Trashy reality TV before bed.






It’s almost midnight so sleep time for me!

Nite all.

Hundreds of Thousands March in Melbourne


I don’t know how long this video will remain available on YouTube. Almost 8 minutes of sped up footage of the March in Melbourne.

Yesterday, because of this, I was feeling lighter.

I watched the live streams across Australia, in all states, of hundreds of thousands people marching for truth and freedom and I thought “Surely people will take notice of this. Surely people will begin to question what’s going on. Surely our leaders will recognise what the people want.”

Unfortunately the facts of the day have been hidden and manipulated.

Mainstream media have reduced the huge numbers involved to “a small group” and have decided to heavily aim their weapons at “antivaxers” telling Australia how dangerous these groups are … once again pitting a “them against us” narrative.

As if the population of Australia isn’t already weakened by the lies and cover ups - now we are weakened further by pitting us against each other.

This makes “them” even more powerful and gives “them” even more control over an entire nation.

The most shocking and most sickening thing of all is the new ammunition - of setting families against each other at Christmas. Offering advice on how to tell your family that they are not welcome if they’re not vaccinated!

YouTube have since removed the numbers under ‘dislike’ buttons. 

How are the unvaccinated a danger to you if you are vaccinated? What was the point of vaccination if you don’t feel safe?

They are predicting a new Covid wave in December.

Wanna know why?

Because the vaccination wanes significantly after 6 months and the first wave of vaccinated, without a booster, become the “unvaccinated”.

The worst part is that the spike protein has weakened their immunity and their organs so that they  are worse off than before they were vaccinated.

Enough about that.

Now to this …

How can 2000 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis (just in ages 12-17yr olds alone) fall under the banner of ‘rare’?????


In all of the videos I’ve seen interviewing the kids or the parents of these kids, none of them were warned about the possibility of this happening.

The heart cannot repair itself so these kids are damaged for life, will be on medication forever and in a lot cases there is a 5 year prognosis.

I know that a couple of my once regular readers have stopped reading and my invitations to socialise have ceased - I assume because they disagree strongly with my stance.

Thankfully, there is, even in a small town like this, a healthy group of humans who are also hungry for the facts. People who listen. People who share. People who swim against current - and sometimes they come from the most unexpected places.

Sometimes they are afraid and they sit quietly in the background watching and listening and learning. 

Sometimes they are brave and lead the way getting involved in every meeting, every March and every protest.

Sometimes they are like me and try to drop snippets of information that may or may not be picked up by the people we most care about. (To you, it may seem like an avalanche of information, but believe me when I tell you that what you get from me are small snippets.)

Mostly, they are the strongest and healthiest, both mentally and physically (I won’t say emotionally because I think the entire planet is emotionally unstable right now) because they advocate for their own health, listen to their body and love themselves enough to make the small sacrifices that strengthen their immunity/good health.

Of course we can only hope that it holds us in good stead when the inevitable Covid wave spreads through QLD - as the media have forewarned us.

Naturally if we unvaccinated are locked inside and banned from participating in the world, we’ll be very safe!

Even though my initial ‘lightness’ from yesterday’s amazing turnout in the nationwide peaceful protests has waned, the fact that with every march, the numbers grow, makes me hope that eventually the truth will be heard.

Remembering that USA began vaccinating in January this year, here is a comparison of Covid cases prevax 2020 to this year postvaxed 2021.

Can you see a marked difference?

That is my snippet for today.

I’m off for a swim.

Nite all.
