TRINITY BEACH

well so much for adding photos in a few days, it's been another 2 weeks and now here i am at trinity beach with gail for our wonderful week of R&R at janet and bevan's    our second last day here :0( 

it's just flashed by, gail's doing some watercolour and i'm doing this after way too long.  just spent some time cleaning mould off the front door, on the outside.  it must be a constant battle here in the tropics, keeping on top of plants growing so crazily in the humidity and the mould and damp. 

so many photos since early april i'll have to be very selective. I had a great meeting with erica, she was very encouraging and i'm getting a decent submission together for other publishers too.  i'll have to send a few out together because a rejection or two will put me off sending more.  it's a scary process showing work you care about to people.  specially writing because it's new to me.

It's been gorgeous down at the water - super clear & lovely autumn air

Loyal little Buzz, waiting for his owner to come out of the water

A new word - THALASSOPHILE - one who loves and desires to be near the sea

April 18 - had a lovely overnight visit from Isobelle who said some really nice things about my writing.  Seeing her and Erica has given me some confidence and i'm very happy with the way the dummy book is coming along.

I stayed at sunny's for a couple of nights when i couldn't get the key

to work at sandra's where i was going to have a couple of nights before

my meeting with erica.  i had a couple of hours with etta in the park and

this is her, hiding and calling out for me to find her  :0) little character

   Etta's entered the princess phase, Elsa is the go and

   the tiara and blue 'cloak' are everyday wear, the cloak

   is a nightie that sunny was going to make into an Elsa

   dress but etta just tucked in her belt at the back and 

   wore it for days  :0)

    We went to 3 yo kinder, my first visit. etta was all keen then got shy

    when we arrived.  

 

    More happy mornings at Indented Head foreshore

   a free yoga class - i realised how much strength i've lost
