TAG - 11

  

one Encyclopaedia Britannica

a rain shower develops...

 

an audience appears... 

and then a rainbow...

....

what happened next...

last time we met....

 then there was light...

and smoke...

the next day the embers are fanned and burst back to flame...

many days (and a rainstorm) later...

'the ash makes all things equal'

Seneca

TAG - 10...

 

14 red cloth bound volumes 

of State Laws and Ordinances and Sub-ordinances

arranged in a circle

on a rock platform in the middle of Sams Creek



(watch this space)

long weekend... looooooong book

This June long weekend in little aussieland

 

and the end of my MFA is nigh(ish)

so I am hunkered down

 busy binding and filming and writing and reading

(and binding... and binding... and binding... and binding) 

Here's hoping your weekend
 

(long or short)

is looooooooong on happy moments

TAG - 9...

the partially excavated site of the old fireplace

at the newly rediscovered

Sams Creek schoolhouse 

an Encyclopaedia Britannica is set alight

  and left to be

one day later...

 only a small shadow remnant can be found

echoing the fate of the old school 

that is no more...

I've got my eye on Hugh...

A few months ago a film crew moved into a farmhouse 

just 12kms up the road from my little place
and since then we've spied the big boxy camera and big fuzzy boom mic

being pointed at foody and farming types

around our area

very soon 

River Cottage Australia
will be launched on (pay) TV screens around this fair land

(can I get an 'oh myyyyyyy' from you all?)

I'm remaining resolutely on the fence about the whole thing

I've always rather liked Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and the River Cottage thang
(even if some of the things Hugh gets up to down on the farm give me the giggles
or make my eyebrows start rolling around my head like demented marbles)

but River Cottage Australia is not being hosted by Hugh
sooooo
it's hard to know how RCA will be received...

at any rate I expect it will be fun to play 'name that local-yokel'
and see our region on the (little) big screen

(last time this part of the world had this much filming fuss was when
 'The Man Who Sued God'
came to town....

     (yes that's bermi harbour in the film trailer...)

blog post about the radio interview where I talk blogs...

Want to hear me a podcast of my daggy little self 

with Ian Campbell on ABC South East radio this morning
where I talked blogs 

(local blogs and bloggers that is)

A Bee Ceramic mosaic birdbath (ABC - hee hee hee - did you see what I did there to make the piccie relevant? )
this is from a local garden I took my mumma to visit last week... 

yes of COURSE you do!

 follow this link and knock yourselves out! 

(oooo golly I just realised that for many mates out there in the blogospere -
this will be the first time you will hear me 

good luck understanding my very broad regional aussie accent

and surviving the 'mutant jockey' voice!)
