Favs I suppose? The Mission still haunts me. I love biographies like Mrs. Brown and historical epics like Barry Lynden. I also enjoyed Chicago and Mrs Potter. Love animations like Happy Feet etc.

Classical, jazz and as long as it's not loud show tunes.

Oh! When I moved here from Canada I packed boxes and boxes to give away, brought some with me. Now after 5 years I could fill more boxes, many still unread though.

Green, Teal, or something close to that.

Italian (well prepared) Japanese food especially Tempura and Sushi.

Autumn has arrived with a vengence, cool nights and mid-teens C during the day. We've had some rain which was badly needed but still not enough to replenish the catchments. They are at 27 % capacity.

Canadian, Italian heritage, Mother of 4, second marriage. Was a widow for 11 yrs and then met a relocated Scot. He convinced me to share the rest of our lives together and so here I am. So far so good :-)

Playing on this machine, writing, reading, crafts (knitting, sewing etc) as a hobby. I'm an avid photographer, SLR digital and point and shoot digital as well. Apreciate the Flora and Fauna of my new country. Enjoy touring this desert island called Australia :-)

Rudeness, unkind people and/or remarks, bias, negative criticism, dishonesty, lies, dirty jokes and swearing, you get the picture? :-) I do NOT like misbehaving children (spoiled brats)

People who are NOT pooper-scoopers!

I don't like Black Pudding or Vegemite, cream of tomato soup or "awfuls' (animal organs) however well prepared. Exception; I love liver and bacon with onions and mash. :-)

I teach Ikebana, The Art of Japanese Floral Arrangement.

I also make greeting cards from my many photographs, enjoy scrapbooking too although I get into it only in spurts :-).
