My cup of tea: March 2011
http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
My cup of tea. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Learning, always learning . It has been an interesting, busy couple of weeks getting started at university doing my post-grad studies (in writing, editing and publishing) and really getting my freelance work underway. I have put up a website for my new venture at http:/ www.write-now.com.au/. And it already seems to be paying dividends. Hooray for that! At the moment I am working my way through the abstracts and giving them a bit of a tidy up prior to going to publ...

My cup of tea: In the eye of the flood
http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/01/in-eye-of-flood.html
My cup of tea. Tuesday, January 18, 2011. In the eye of the flood. There is no need to recount the events of the last week in. On a wet, rainy Monday as a wall of water tore through Toowoomba to the west of the capital. There were forecasts that. On Tuesday morning something interesting started to happen. People started nattering to each other and telling their stories. Down came the usual reservations and people conversed freely. I wrote the following on my Facebook page:. 8220;Have you heard? The predi...

My cup of tea: A tale of two eateries
http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/02/tale-of-two-eateries.html
My cup of tea. Sunday, February 6, 2011. A tale of two eateries. As readers of this blog will know I like to give a bit of a critique when I go out for lunch or coffee. Recently I have been travelling up to Noosa fairly frequently as my father is quite sick. I like to go out with Mum to get her out of the house and give her a bit of a break. This review is a tale of two eateries: one on the expensive Hastings Street beach front strip and the other at. But when we returned a week ago with my youngest daug...

My cup of tea: Camaraderie among the wordsmiths
http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/03/camaraderie-among-wordsmiths.html
My cup of tea. Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Camaraderie among the wordsmiths. Yesterday I had my first lecture as part of the Writing, Editing and Publishing course I am undertaking at the. I have enrolled to do a Graduate Diploma but depending on the time and tides I may well carry on and complete my Masters. 8217;s commentariat now but I wanted to reach out and do more with the written word. After our first lecture last night many of us decamped to. And camaraderie there definitely was. I sat chatting...

My cup of tea: The mind of an editor
http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/02/mind-of-editor.html
My cup of tea. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. The mind of an editor. Or, "An insight into the pedantry of the perforations". Yesterday I was visiting my parents and while we were sat having a cuppa we starting talking about the various monikers for the generations: Gen Ys, Gen Xs, Baby Boomers etc. We established that I am a boomer, but I was interested to hear my father describe his generation as the “frugal generation”. I had heard them referred to as the silent generation but not as frugal. I needed to o...

My cup of tea: Australia Day 2011 - “We are one” leaves out a lot of people
http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/01/australia-day-2011-we-are-one-leaves.html
My cup of tea. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Australia Day 2011 - “We are one” leaves out a lot of people. This article was published yesterday in. It is by Brian Holden. I have edited many of his articles over the years and this one I particularly enjoyed. It provided a great topic of discussion in our house-hold and gives a new perspective to Australia Day and Australians' place in this world. I can highly recommend reading it. 8220;We are one” leaves out a lot of people. 8221; All through my childhood ...

http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2011/01/quick-quick-and-slow.html
My cup of tea. Friday, January 28, 2011. Quick, quick and slow . After all the flooding we were gradually getting back to normal at home and were doing a little maintenance about the place. The sort that requires a trip to a somewhat large, soulless barn of a hardware chainstore. In our house, trips to this particular store are a dreaded event, so I decided to tag along with my husband to provide moral support, guidance and a hand written list so we didn’t deviate from our intended purchases. I asked him...

http://mycupoftea-mybrew.blogspot.com/2010/12/vintage-dreaming.html?spref=bl
My cup of tea. Friday, December 10, 2010. Last night I went with three girlfriends and my two daughters to a book signing at The Black Cat book shop in Paddington, Brisbane. They had invited Charlotte Smith there to talk about a collection of 3,000 vintage dresses and accessories that she inherited from her god-mother Doris Darnell, a Quaker from. The collection is known as the Darnell Collection. 8217;s own life story, for example. And Dreaming of Dior. Has added to the Darnell Collection in the time sh...
