also, a not sunny day. just a day of stacking firewood. wonkily. home alone and a bit stir crazy. there are toadstools in many shades of brown. grevilleas, hakeas, pro
tea, correa, wattles and darwinia all flowering abundantly. birds pipping peeping singing flitting whistling. it's the end of
autumn and a last flush of growth before we dip down into the darker colder months of winter. i've been thinking about the trajectory across life of experience into knowledge and thus sedimentary layering up of memories and how this mindmatter folds and deforms, slumps, erodes, preserves random fossils and sometimes metamorphoses... thinking about my nana's mind slipping and sliding now at 98... read rohinton mistry's family matters yesterday and watched after the deluge, both stories revolving round a patriarch's decline and death. just thinking about how short a life is, even a 'long' one, and pondering what next to aspire to do with mine... so, seeing as i've thought for a while of trying a blogging life, here is blog#1 (with pix pulled off the desktop of HOME, aspex thereof, a bit @random...)
Hi skipkat! I found your blog via Ross's. And what do I see here? A lovely fire bath.
ReplyDeleteMy brother's good friends in Tassie built one too on their new block. Sue and Anthony live the good life that you seem to live. A beautiful place, lots of home-done living, and good connections to the world. That kind of thing. Here's a photo of the stone foundation of their fire bath. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3187/2813212046_e1716cd43e.jpg
Calamity Sue is on flickr, she takes an ace photo, as do you, and she virtually blogs via flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/calamitysue/
I look forward to more from you, skipkat, and I remember watching After the Deluge. I think I really loved it! Was it years ago? Did it have Chris Heywood in it? And Angela 'Punch' McGregor?
