​The next set of five of my ‘My Rob Rules,’ is here. They also look great.
We will present them to the seniors at Mossgiel Park Primary School again as this completes the cycle for them.
I have many more ideas for titles in this series but I will just have to wait and see.  

​This issue of the newsletter for the Thalassaemia& sickle Cell Society of Australia has been realised today. The article I wrote highlighting the plight of the Thalassaemic children in Nepal is in this issue.
I have been fundraising for these children for about 6 years and continue to do so. If anyone wants to get involved, feel free to contact me on 0409828770.

​I found this little cutie on Facebook today. Come on Nanas and Grandmas, Nonnas and Yiayias. Get your crochet hooks out. There is an Elsa out there waiting for this.

​We had a great mini book launch today at Mossgiel Park Primary School for the first five of the ‘My Job rules’ series.  I wanted to have a little celebration with the school to thank them for their participation. We had the Web Designer and the Equine Services Provider came and were treated like rock stars. Hawker and Brownlow sent one of their representatives, Sandy who presented a set of books to the school captains.  

​The first of my series “My Job Rules,” Was realised today. They look really good, we are all thrilled with them. The children from Mossgiel Park are very excited and have enjoyed being a part of the process.

​The “Casey Cardinia Kids” magazine contacted me today and have asked me to donate some copies of our coffee table book, “At Play” for a competition. Their photographers came to my home and took our photo for the magazine. 

​Cup Cakes
70g  butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup sugar

​The magazine, Retro Vintage Review issue 5 hit the shelves today. I am so excited to see two of my articles featured in the issue. One was on the ‘Rocka Billy hairdressers at Sandown’s Greazefest and the other was an article about my Pops caravan that my husband, John and I rescued and cleaned up. The caravan was hand crafted by my grandfather in 1958.
I wrote these articles and sent them in to the magazine. The rockabilly one is just as I sent it, However I was pretty disappointed with the edit of the caravan one as the gramma in places was poor, (not the way I wrote it.) Other changes made took my words out of context. Not very happy with that but at the end of the day out of my hands. 

​At the Melbourne Writers Festival today I had the pleasure of attending an event called “Caravan Conversations.” The idea is that you can book a seat in this fabulous, vintage, Airstream caravan. They only take five seats at a time and we get to speak with a famous journalist of author. We can ask questions and chat with them and their work for half an hour. I booked two slots and got to meet with Tim Lester and Latika Bourke. They both had books out and were very interesting and engaging.  I bought Latika’s book and had this photo taken with her. 

​I took a road trip to Castlemaine today to participate in a workshop with none other than Hazel Edwards of, There’s a Hippopotamus on my Roof fame. It was a wonderful day, very informative, and fun with a great bunch of like-minded people.

​Sorry Hazel you look good in one photo and I look okay in one so I had to show both.
