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!!

Surprise not Surprise

Adoring Husband, mistakenly thinking that tomorrow (Wednesday), was my birthday, asked BGWLBH to keep me occupied for the day so that he could make me a birthday cake.

We drove into the bay and wasted 3 hours.

We arrived home to find a square double decker chocolate/vanilla cake sandwiched with fresh cream and topped with chocolate icing.

Only one problem.

He used the cream that I had in the fridge which was a week past its use by date!

Also, he realised that my birthday isn’t until Thursday and the cake certainly wouldn’t be fresh by then and the cream especially would be even more questionable 🤨 

So this is the checklist of waste for the day:

  • Three hours in the bay
  • Fuel for a return trip into the bay
  • One trip to the local shops for cake mixes
  • Two new square cake tins
  • One vanilla cake mix
  • One chocolate cake mix
  • 4-6 eggs
  • One bottle of lactose free cream
  • Ninety minutes preparation and cooking time in the kitchen
  • One double decker chocolate/vanilla cake now in the trash
  • One surprise birthday cake which is now no longer a surprise
I need to state that I appreciate the sentiment and the effort behind AH’s gesture. It’s a big deal and I love that he wants to do this for me 🥰

Little Hazie received the second of my three parcels today …

One more parcel to turn up.

Leftover chicken schnitzel with coleslaw, potato salad and garden salad for dinner.

I bought two sand crabs today and shelled them this afternoon. My dinner was fresh crab meat on fresh sour dough bread. I was channeling my Dad - it was our favourite food to eat together. This year will be 29 yrs since he passed. Wow.

Now it’s time for me to sleep.


Nite all.

Against the Grain

For those who are perplexed by my perspective on Trump: 

I see Trump through a different lens than the typical binary options. I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat, I don't identify with either, though I have previously belonged to each party. I see through the manipulation of the two-party system, and I deplore the ways in which we are being intentionally divided against each other. 

Those who are doing the division are intentionally manipulating us this way, so that we don't pay any attention to what they're doing behind the proverbial curtain. 

I see Trump as a dismantler, an exposer, a disruptor of status quo. And status quo 100% needs to be disrupted and dismantled. 

I see him bringing down what needs to be brought down, but somebody else will do the rebuilding. 

He also serves as a heyoka, and is playing his cosmic role as a mirror, forcing us to face just how far we have collectively fallen from our own declared ideals.

If anyone else had been elected, it would have been perverse business-as-usual. How strange that nobody seems to be affected at the discovery that most of our institutions, corporations, and governments have been infiltrated, and are being run by, psychopaths and others who are complicit in sex-trafficking and even cannibalism of children. 

Hardly anyone blinked at that. 

I've known about all of that for years, and I knew I wouldn't be believed if I said it out loud. I wanted it all to be exposed, and I certainly thought there would be more of a strong reaction to such an atrocity. Bizarre. 

I've been aware that organizations that are supposedly benevolent, such as the UN, NATO, WHO, and WEF, are all being run by these very same people, who are hell-bent on depopulating the planet by any means necessary, taking us from over 8 billion down to a mere 500 million. The ways in which they have done so have become "normal life" - and they are accepted and even promoted by those who are still believing the lie about their supposed "benevolence."

These people own the corporations, the institutions, including the medical and educational systems, the media, and they employ both propaganda and psyops to manipulate us into whatever they want us to believe, and to do whatever they want us to do, as a result. 

The pandemic, which was intentionally planned and intentionally released, was not only a crime against humanity, but a dress-rehearsal to see how well we would comply with unconstitutional mandates -- provided we were in enough fear and confusion to do so. 

The globalists, the elites, the cabal, whatever you want to call them, have been working together for decades, and have been intending to take us through a series of intentional pandemics, with mandated experimental vaccines, leading up to 2030, in which they intend to create what they call the Great Reset.

The ultimate goal is to take a vastly reduced population, manipulate us into intense fear, through those pandemics and the results of the vaccines, employ a totalitarian system based on communist China, corral us into Smart Cities, watch our every move with digital facial recognition cameras, and control our access to our own digital money, by how well we comply with their mandates.

The people behind all of this are megalomaniac psychopaths. You don't know their names or their faces. Anyone you can point to is just one of their figurehead puppets. 

Some people call them the deep state, or shadow government, the cabal, or you can call them what Obama called them, The Blob. He was one of their puppets. *Every* president with the exception of JFK, was previously one of their puppets. 

They don't care who wins any election, as long as they bow down and do their bidding. They are rewarded handsomely for doing so, They are controlled with blackmail if they get out of line, and they pay the highest of prices if they refuse -- JFK being an example. 

Trump was not expected to win in his first presidential campaign. It was laughable at the time. Even he didn't think he would win. When it turns out he did, the cabal was severely threatened, because he refused to do their bidding, and outright intended to expose them -- and even though they have thrown everything in the book at him, judicial lawfare, lies, innuendo, skewing public opinion, truncated videos, character assassination, and even two literal assassination attempts -- they couldn't stop him. 

I previously fell for their tactics. I despised him, had full-blown TDS, for 8 of the previous 10 years. I wanted Bobby Kennedy for president. And when it became clear that the DNC unlawfully and unconstitutionally prevented him from successfully running a campaign, I was shocked that my friends on the Left, when I was still a Democrat, believed the lies the media was putting out about him. 

I even caught ABC overdubbing the interviewer's questions, changing the questions entirely from the original recording, so that it looked like his answers were deranged. I had seen the original. And I saw for myself how they changed the questions when it was aired on ABC. 

Seeing how far the media would go, and knowing that my friends had fallen for the lies, I had to ask myself, in the name of all integrity... Was it possible that I also believed lies about Trump? 

When Bobby aligned with Trump, I initially felt guttered and betrayed, but I doubled down and did my homework, and discovered that I had indeed believed lies about Trump (including that he supposedly had said there were "very fine people" amongst the white supremacists, following the Charlottesville riot). That was thoroughly debunked in 2019, but it didn't stop both Biden and Harris, or whoever wrote their scripts, from using that tactic against him, again. Even the fact checkers, who should have known better, didn't object. 

Surprise surprise, I also discovered that "fact" checkers only say whatever they are paid to say.

I then realized how corrupt the Democratic party leadership had become, and how they were also a puppet of the deep state. They did away with the primary, not once, but twice, hand-selecting first Biden, who was mentally incompetent, and then Harris, in backroom deals, devoid of a single vote from a single citizen. My friends on the Left didn't even blink it that atrocity.

I am doing two blog posts today. This one is just me sharing something that I found on social media, and which I found interesting.

This is an interesting ‘take’ on Donald Trump that I wanted to share here.

I voted for Trump. And I do not regret my vote. As I said, any other vote would have been perverse business-as-usual. I wanted everything exposed, dismantled, and rebuilt. And this was the only way for that to happen. 

People may or may not ever recognize that Trump is far more than he appears to be. That he is not the public persona he projects. He does that intentionally, playing with the cabal and the elites at their own game. He even trolls his detractors, putting out all sorts of diversions, throwing a bone to the crowd, so that everyone underestimates him, and then he can just go and do what he said he was going to do in the first place. 

I have learned to take him seriously, but not literally. Those who despise him instead take him literally, but not seriously.

I am aware that I will likely continue to pay the high price of being misunderstood and misjudged for the choices I have made. I have grown strong enough to be able to live with that. 

I know my truth, I know the deception, and I know what needs to happen.

I continue to trust that Life knows what She's doing, and I trust my own Soul to lead me through all of this. 

I am among the many who are here for such a time as this. I am grateful. This is a fascinating and exciting time in which to be alive.

Same Old

[The Nicotine Psyop That Made Big Pharma TRILLIONS w/ Dr. Bryan Ardis

For over a century, Big Pharma and its media allies have waged a relentless campaign to convince the world that nicotine is nothing more than a dangerous, addictive drug. In this explosive interview, Dr. Bryan Ardis joins me to reveal the shocking truth buried in centuries of medical history: tobacco and nicotine were once widely used by doctors to treat — and even cure — countless diseases, from cancer to heart disease to obesity. Backed by documented evidence, Dr. Ardis exposes how the pharmaceutical industry rigged the narrative, poisoned commercial tobacco products, and bribed governments worldwide to ban natural nicotine, all to protect their multi-trillion-dollar drug empire.]

My take …

During the wars, (WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam and others), soldiers were issued tobacco in their kit. It was to help ward off viruses and diseases that they might be susceptible to in the jungles, underground and in the trenches. Pure tobacco.

It only became dangerous when the tobacco companies added synthetics, chemicals and so-called filters.

Non mainstream health professionals sometimes recommend nicotine patches for a number of health conditions and I’ve considered using them myself.

The world is not as it seems. The lies that we are told are certainly not for our benefit.

Anyway … 

Today was another lazy day. Harley play, garden tending, watched the remaining episodes of The Madison, I crumbed chicken breasts, boiled potatoes in their jackets, made coleslaw and salsa and served with butter and sour cream for dinner.

Now I need to sleep because tomorrow is meditation day.





Nite all.

My Sunday

I went to Coles yesterday and I have to tell you this, I was behind a grandfather and his badly-behaved grandson. He has his hands full with the child screaming for lollies, biscuits, all sorts of things.

The granddad is saying in a controlled voice: “Easy, William, we won’t be long . . . easy boy.”

Another outburst and I heard the granddad calmly say : “It’s okay William. Just a couple more minutes and we’ll be out of here. Hang in there, boy.”

At the checkout the little horror is throwing items out of the trolley. Granddad says again in a controlled voice : “William, William, relax buddy, don’t get upset. We’ll be home in five minutes, stay cool William.”

Well, I was really impressed, and when I got outside I saw the grandfather  loading his groceries and the boy into the car.

I walked over and said to the Grandad “It’s none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don’t know how you did it. That whole time you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying things would be okay. William is very lucky to have you as his granddad.”

“Thanks,” said the Granddad. “But I am William. The little bastard’s name is Harry!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Today was a very lazy Sunday.

I was woken by kitchen noise at 7.12am - today is Sunday, so I was NOT happy, and even though I was tempted to get up and yell at the culprit, I decided to breathe it out and send them ‘love’ from my bedroom.

Ugh.

I reluctantly climbed out of bed at 10am and took Harley straight out to play. I tended my little garden before heading to my kitchen to make brunch.

I was looking forward to some of the new spelt sour dough bread that we bought at the markets yesterday. Sadly, BGWLBH had eaten it all. A whole loaf in 18 hours - and she was asleep for a good portion of that. Not happy Jan.

Ugh.

In Coles yesterday, I had discovered some GF crumpets, so that was my next option for brunch. They were very satisfactory.

I watched some golf on Fox Sports with Adoring Husband and then came to bed for the afternoon, where I napped while watching the footy.

An easy dinner by taking spaghetti bolognese sauce out of the freezer and preparing a side salad.

I didn’t eat dinner but made myself some tea (the ‘relax’ tea that AH bought me for Christmas) and took a couple of slices of turkey breast from the fridge.

Now I’m watching the first episode of the new series of Masterchef.

Except for the morning, I’ve enjoyed my Sunday.






Nite all.

Catching Up

Well this is an interesting concept …

What do you all think about this? I also am my most creative and connected self from 1-4 am…

The most dangerous lie in human history isn’t about food.

Its not about medicine. Its about sleep. For 200,000 years, humans didnt sleep 8 hours.That number was actually invented in 1938 by a mattress company called Simmons Beautyrest. Before their campaign, the average human slept in two shifts. Historians call it “Biphasic Sleep.” You would sleep for 4 hours, wake up for 2, then sleep for another 4. During that 2-hour window, people would pray, have s*x, write, think, and connect with their families. Some of the greatest works in human history were created in that sacred middle window. Shakespeare wrote most of his plays between 1AM and 3AM during his second wake period. Mozart composed entire symphonies in what he called “The God Hours.” Then the Industrial Revolution needed workers on a fixed schedule. You cant run a factory on biphasic sleep. So they hired a psychologist named Dr. Nathaniel Kleitman to “prove” that 8 consecutive hours was the biological standard.

He faked the studies. He was funded entirely by the mattress industry. And the medical establishment adopted his research without question because it aligned with the factory model. They turned the most creative 2 hours of human consciousness into a “sleep disorder.” They called it “Insomnia.” They medicated it. They gaslight an entire generation that 8 hours of continuous sleep was healthy. They pathologized the exact window of consciousness that produced some of the greatest art, music, and literature in human history. You are not an insomniac. You are experiencing the most natural form of human consciousness. And a mattress company convinced you it was a disease.

Interesting huh?

I’ve been very “blog absent” lately and I thought I would wean myself off this dedicated space because I’ve been doing it for over 15 years!

But … it has been a very valuable tool, much like a diary/planner, that I can refer back to when we forget things like … the last time the pool guy was here, what date we built the carport, when I started my new raised vegetable garden, the dates I missed meditation etc etc.

So I’ve decided to continue writing daily, even if it’s really boring shit, like what time I wake up and what I cook for dinner. You can choose to continue reading my words or you can choose to search for something more interesting to read.

I attended meditation on Tuesday but didn’t get time with The Gypsy because she had to work straight after class.

I bought myself a small coffee and thought I’d sit by the river for 30 minutes before going home. Instead, I was waylaid by a resident who has lived here for 6 yrs but is now moving back to Brisbane. I received information overload for almost 3 hours.

My life has been very insular for about 4 years, so this man brought me up to speed on just about every resident in town. Every conflict, every movement, every health issue, every drug deal, every boatie living on the river, you name it, he knew about it!

Needless to say, I was mentally drained by the time I finally arrived home and needed to spend the rest of the day in my bedroom regenerating some mental, emotional, spiritual and physical energy!

Wednesday was my ‘change the bedding’ day - exhausting, as always!

Thursday was a day in the bay where I found two tops. One from me to me and for BGWLBH to purchase for my birthday, which is coming up next week.

Friday was a visit to The Gypsy. She is house and dog sitting in town so we spent a quality 4 hours together.

I’m doing ok in the footy tipping. Not spectacular, but ok.

Today, BGWLBH and I woke up extra early (5.30am) and drove into the bay to attend both markets on the esplanade. This is where BGWLBH bought many gifts for my birthday. I can’t even remember everything that she bought! Lots of jewellery, a solar powered hummingbird for the garden and I’ll have to tell you the rest next week.

I found a woman at the Torquay markets selling all the fabulous super health products like MSM, colloidal silver, methylene blue, belly bugs probiotics, iodine, cbd oil and turmerix to name just a few. We spent a good 20-30 minutes chatting about all the products and how she uses them.

I purchased some methylene blue and she gave me a sample of the belly bugs with strict instructions.

I got some gluten free Lebanese bread, gf cinnamon donuts, a loaf of spelt sourdough bread, freshly made lemonade, a spray bottle of magnesium/frankincense oils and walked across the road to Go Girl, where I purchased a top for Adoring Husband to give me for my birthday.

We also did a small grocery shop before returning home, both exhausted haha. We are too old for this nonsense!

The two men in my life were very happy to see me home.

I came to bed for a nap at about 4pm and that’s where I stayed. I’d made myself a sourdough sandwich with avocado, cranberry jelly, goats cheese, sprouts and turkey breast for a late lunch so I didn’t need dinner.

Now it’s time for sleep. I hope to enjoy a lazy Sunday tomorrow.





Nite all.

Inking Concerns

All three of my adult children have tattoos, so this information concerns me …

*** Why I regret my tattoos…from someone that has over 25 of them including a full sleeve! (the last time I posted this, it triggered people BADLY).

I got tattooed during a time in my life when I wasn’t fully informed about what was going into my body or what I was allowing onto my skin. Back then, it was about art, self expression and creative identity. Today, I see it differently.

Tattoos are not harmless. I don’t care what anyone says. Not the artist. Not your friend. Not anyone. Anyone who says they are, is lying.

Here’s what they don’t tell you when that needle touches your skin…

💉Red ink often contains mercury sulphide (cinnabar) - a toxic heavy metal linked to allergic reactions, skin inflammation and systemic toxicity. Many people will say ‘that’s old ink, the new ink doesn’t contain that’ and yet a study done in 2023 showed that a shocking 30% of UK tattoo studios were using ink that DID contain mercury.

💉Black ink, the most commonly used, contains carbon black, which may be contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) - classified as Group 2B carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

💉Many tattoo pigments also include lead, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminium…heavy metals with known neurotoxic and carcinogenic effects.

💉Tattoo ink particles don’t stay in the skin. They travel through your bloodstream and often accumulate in the lymph nodes, where they can disrupt immune function and remain for life.

💉When exposed to UV light or laser removal, these inks can break down into even more dangerous substances, including formaldehyde, benzene, and hydrogen cyanide…all linked to cancer.

This isn’t just about what’s in the ink… it’s about what happens to it after it’s in your body.

Studies have shown that tattoo pigment doesn’t just sit harmlessly in your skin. It’s actively transported through the lymphatic system and stored in your lymph nodes… the very part of your body responsible for filtering toxins and supporting your immune system. Over time, those nodes can become discoloured, inflamed and overloaded… and nobody can tell you what that does to your health over 10, 20, 30 years, because the long term data simply isn’t there.

This is a global industry worth billions and yet long term human safety data is incredibly limited. You are essentially part of a long term experiment the moment you get tattooed.

In Europe, regulations like the REACH Regulation have only recently started restricting certain pigments and chemicals in tattoo inks… which should make you ask a very simple question… if they’re only just being restricted now, what have people been exposed to for decades before that?

Even more concerning… research has found nanoparticles from tattoo ink, particularly carbon black, can move beyond the skin barrier entirely. Nanoparticles behave very differently in the body… they can penetrate cells, cross biological barriers and potentially interfere with normal cellular function in ways we still don’t fully understand.

Also, you need to consider your immune response… your body doesn’t recognise tattoo ink as “safe.” It recognises it as a foreign substance. That’s why your immune system constantly tries to break it down… for the rest of your life. That low grade, chronic immune activation isn’t something people think about when they’re sat in a tattoo chair.

Recent studies have started exploring the link between tattoo inks and various cancers, especially skin cancers, lymphoma and other immune related cancers as well as auto immune disorders (any wonders on how I got Hodgkin’s lymphoma?!) While research is ongoing, the emerging evidence is deeply concerning …especially when you consider how unregulated tattoo inks are in many countries.

I didn’t know this. I wish I had. Now, as someone who lives as clean and naturally as possible…from what I eat to what I put on my skin, my tattoos feel like the one thing I can’t take back. They’re a permanent reminder of a version of myself who didn’t yet understand the consequences.

I’m not saying every single person with tattoos is going to get sick. I’m saying we were never given the full picture to make that choice properly. And if something is going into your body permanently… you deserve to know everything about it.

This isn’t about shaming or triggering anyone. It’s about awareness… and about true informed choices.

If you’re considering a tattoo, I urge you to research the ingredients, the risks, the long term impacts. If you already have tattoos, know that detox is possible to a degree and awareness is the first step.

We deserve to know what we’re being sold as “art.”***


I’m doing very poorly in the footy tipping comp this week and I’m not happy about it.

Adoring Husband and I started watching ‘The Madison’ on Paramount today. Quite emotional and a bit intense. An interesting study on human behaviour in different generations and how they navigate different life scenarios. I’m not sure how I’m feeling about it. I do think Michelle Pfeiffer is great in this role.

BGWLBH and I were going to run a stall at the local markets today, but time got away from us and the day loomed faster than we expected, so we were not properly prepared. We’ll do the next one in June.

I caught the bus into the bay on Thursday. I needed a few things and had to put lotto on, then I waited in the hot sun for 25 minutes until the bus drove right by me and didn’t pick me up! I contacted AH, who was playing golf, and he drove all the way in to pick me up - an expensive trip, considering the price of diesel fuel right now!

BGWLBH and I spent the day in The Bay on Friday. She had a nail appointment and worked in the Crafty Bee while I enjoyed some shopping. I bought a top and found one for BGWLBH to purchase for my birthday.

I found a beautiful dress for Hazie, did some grocery shopping, sat with a cup of tea for quite some time and just relaxed. Two full days in a row was quite tiring though. I’m getting too old for this $#%+!

I would like a quiet bedroom day tomorrow.

Right now, it’s sleep time for me.





Nite all.
