Alice Springs to Mind

Some days in Alice Springs are really interesting and funny, and I like writing about them. So some of my tales are going here. Helen Tindall

Thinking of things to say

It's almost impossible to think of things to say on a blog with no audience! Obviously I've never been one to keep a journal, and I'm not a writer at heart. But I'll persist for now, and see if practise makes it easier.

I might try and make a post at least once a week, maybe more if I can muster the energy, by way of putting it into practise.

Currently I have a 12yo boy whose parents both died recently, staying with me as a temporary foster child. He's been with me on-and-off for the past 7 months, but last week it was made an official situation. He's lots of fun, and incredibly well behaved, gets on well with other kids, goes to school everyday without any nagging from me to wake, eat, shower, dress, etc. He has a lovely nature, and is easy to have around.

That's my biggest news.

Smaller news, I had a weekend in Adelaide, arriving home this afternoon, and went to see Cirque du Soleil with a friend on Friday night. It was fabulous, literally an other-world of magic, the costumes, the gymnastic skill, the colour and the music. An absolute spectacle!

I've bought a new computer since I last posted here, and couldn't find my blogger registration details. This morning I finally worked it out.

Over two months since I last made an entry, and there's no doubt lots of stuff I might have talked about if I'd been able to log in.

The Alice Springs Show was on this weekend, and I entered some photographs which didn't win anything. My favourite of the three entries is attached here.

When I think of something to talk about, I'll be back!
