Welcome

I'm a seasoned soggy rain dancer sharing thoughts on living life and anything else that may drench me in the next shower!

Stay for a while and dance with me… puddle jumping has so much more meaning when you turn to look at another, smile that knowing smile, firmly lock hands and leap… Don’t you think?

Unfamiliar Becomes Familiar.

January 9, 2021 By Sandra Leave a Comment

It was a glorious morning.  Misty, mysterious, majestically still. Not a leaf nor blade of glass nodding to the rise of the morning sun... as if any sudden movement would break the spell of the orange and blue dawn. Mesmerising. I too sat Continue Reading

Sparrow Farts and Mosquito Bites!

September 8, 2020 By Sandra Leave a Comment

Awake at sparrow fart, yet again, I noticed a pink haze fall across the bedroom wall. “That’s cool!” I said to myself while sliding the doona over my shoulder to snuggle down and doze for a while longer. I was so comfortable and having only fallen Continue Reading

Who Knew Cleaning The Toilet Would Lead To This!

August 16, 2020 By Sandra 4 Comments

This morning while cleaning the toilet (let’s face it, most of our insightful  thoughts come while we are doing the most mundane things) I was thinking about three different things that have been on a rinse and repeat cycle in my head for some Continue Reading

Cats Are Smart. Be More Like a Cat.

July 12, 2020 By Sandra 9 Comments

I woke all snuggled down in the bed feeling safe and warm. My head lost in the pillow and arms hugging the bunched-up doona like you would a teddy bear. I wondered if this was how cats felt when they disappear into the folds of their bedding Continue Reading

Can I Come? Can I Huh?

April 5, 2020 By Sandra 19 Comments

Every time I’d see my Dad make his way to the back door I’d scramble after him trying to pull my little gumboots on as fast as I could while pleading “Can I come? Can I come? Can I huh? Can I huh? Dad?” Most times it ended with me sitting on the Continue Reading
