21.01.2022 More wisdom from Harriet.

17.01.2022 Hard work, and necessary.

12.01.2022 TRIGGER WARNING : Fiona gets a bit emotional about rape victim experience. So, its another fun day (that was sarcasm) in Australian politics today. I've heard that a member of the Prime Minister's Cabinet will speak to allegations of rape today and will deny those allegations.

I’ll be trying to re-kindle some forgotten helpful behaviour patterns.

Whatever you do, repeatedly, grows. Whatever you cease to do, repeatedly, diminishes. Note to self: spend some time practicing being who you want to be. (I plan to stimulate my latent artistry by enlivening this oil painting I bought from an op-shop. The result might not be flash, but the process, the handling of oils, and brushes, and solvent, and knife will hopefully awaken rusty but lively parts of Fiona!)
