You have not heard from me over summer, so it’s a long overdue greeting for the New Year.

As some of you know I had some bad experiences last year with a stalker and it has taken the shine off my happy escort life.  During this last couple of months I have been doing another job in addition to escorting, so I haven’t been posting and I have reduced the hours I am available.  The new scheduling arrangement will continue for the future.  I will post my availability for each coming week by Sunday evening on the front page of the website (please text me if you don’t see it, I might be running late).

It was a very dry period leading up to Christmas and the wildflowers on the country block were very few this year.  In past years there has been a profusion of colour and variety but this year it was all very subdued.  I did see one wildflower that I haven’t seen before though.  Although it was quite common looking – simple structure, bright yellow – I am pretty sure it was a new sighting for me.

Here it is:

The natural world managed to be beautiful in the city too.  There was a very small, perfectly formed  pale green moth on the window sill at Potts Point one morning.  Here it is:

And I managed to get a fair amount of snorkelling and diving in over the summer.  Be warned this is not a lingerie shot! 🙂  It was taken during a dive on the south side of Botany Bay at a place called The Steps.

Sunday 21 October 2018

I have been busy down in the country building (as always) and exploring.  This is a snap taken down by the creek near my place.  It was a lovely spring day and I wore my luminous pink gumboots to protect me from the swamp and any snakes.  I don’t know if any of you have read Slaughterhouse-Five – or have seen the old movie – but the hero of the story makes a striking entrance emerging from an underground shelter after the bombing of Dresden in virtual rags and an incongruous pair of silver boots (scavenged from somewhere).  My glow in the dark pink gumboots always make me think of that scene – they are so dazzling.

Sunday 30 September 2018

As a lot of you know I spend half my week in the Southern Highlands where I devote my time to working on a weekender cabin at my little bush block.  Because it is so crisp down there – even now the mornings are chilly – I get to wear a favourite thing after work:  my apres ski boots, pictured here.

I bought these handsome Italian ugg boots in Snowmass Colorado where I was unbelievably fortunate to visit and where I learnt to ski.  I did a course there called Snow Magic which was designed to teach adult beginners to ski in three days.  In my class we had just a couple of girls.  The tutor, a friendly middle aged guy, observed that while our skiing might never be the fastest we were by far the most graceful of his students.  It was a great experience and I think of it whenever I wear these boots.

Following a recommendation I braved windy William Street Darlinghurst and went down to the Australian Design Centre where I saw a remarkable collection of miniature streetscapes made by Joshua Smith.  They were fine works of craftsmanship recreating the patina of urban decay in  the shopfronts of poorer neighbourhoods.  Here is a photo of one of them:

It reminded me of the dioramas that used to be in the War Memorial in Canberra, which were battlefields recreated in miniature – tiny toylike scenes made for adults.

I have a couple of favourite walks I do between commitments and just to unwind.  Because I am so central in Potts Point I am spolit for choice.  Yesterday I took two photographs: one of the forehore walk that I take down to the Opera House, and the other of a typical back street walk I do through Paddington.

Lots of tourists enjoying themselves!  Even more of them I think, because it’s school holidays.  I am regularly asked to take photos for visitors, not everyone has a selfie stick.

And a somewhat wintery vibe in my typical back street Paddington walk – which is generally quite a deserted walk save for the odd dog walking local.

It was another glorious Autumn weekend and I spent this one in the Blue Mountains with an old friend, who lives there with her family.  She is originally from Japan and has christened her neighbourhood Aoyama after an elegant part of Tokyo which has beautiful street trees.  I was probably one week late for the colour this year but even so there were some lovely trees still in the streets round about, including this radiant maple:

And so I have to confide I bought tickets earlier this year to visit Japan at the end of November – which will be their late Autumn.   Anticipation will be intensifying as the year progresses 🙂

We have progress in domestic affairs this week including potato farming and furniture restoration.

The potatoes some of you might remember from their first appearance way back on 14 January in Post #69.  I had been given a potato growing bag and put out some of my favourite potatoes so that they would strike shoots from their eyes (which they always do in the cupboard left long enough).  Well it took three months for them to strike decent shoots.  Although at first I thought perhaps this type just doesn’t shoot so easily,  on refkection it must have been because I left them outside when they would have done a lot better in a dark cupboard.  They are btw, Dutch cream (very tasty).

This was the original shot:

These are the update shots of the potatoes and the potatoes cut up in their potato sack ready to grow:

These may or may not grow, we will see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The furniture is a new undertaking but long overdue.  I have a “before” shot and a “mid way through” shot, having spend a very tedious amount of time sanding back the varnish.  I actually have two of these chairs but will take things one at a time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Further instalments will be made as things develop and you can approve the restoration (or not approve! as the case may be).

I had the fastest drive home from Canberra than I’ve had in ages.   This notwithstanding there was a lot of road work – for which we all slowed down.  But as I regularly  let myself travel just above the speed limit, alas I am thinking this may be the reason for my fast trip even with roadwork and I am none too proud of it really.

It was a good stay and I collected visuals of another interesting piece of sculpture on an early evening walk near the hotel.  On reflection I could have done a better photo:

Here’s a better shot from the local Sculpture Walk Guide which I found on the net, together with a spiel about the scuplture’s name and significance, and its’ creator, all of which is quite appealing:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being a bit frisky one Canberra morning I took an unsual selfie – the underboob and pyjamas shot, here to amuse 🙂 in the usual way:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can also say in recent news, I learnt how to make Steak Diane, thanks to an entrprising visitor at home, and that was all very good indeed.

Post #73 Sunday 11 February 2018 – A small road trip

I did a small road trip down to Dapto last weekend.  I stopped at the spectacular Sea Cliff Bridge at Coalcliff – which is on the rail line down to Wollongong.  Here is my tourist’s picture postcard shot:

Isn’t it beautiful?

And here is a clever piece of graffiti coming straight out of the cliff face:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see there is a black horizontal seam of coal in the cliff face.  The painted train is running along the coal seam railway tracks.

There were loose lumps of coal lying all around the base of the bridge, right down at the water’s edge, all from this seam.   I have never seen anything like that.

I was in Dapto on business (and no, it was not the Dapto dogs 🙂 lol).  My business was to visit the owners of a block next door to my little acre on the edge of the Southern Highlands, who happen to live in Dapto.  The long and the short of my discussions with them is that I now have access to an additional half acre and it will be called the Orchard Block – self explanatory name really.  Some apple trees and other fruit trees will be planted on this block, under a netted structure to protect against the birds and the possums – not really a greenhouse but like a greenhouse.  Watch this space… 🙂  Next week an excavator – man and machine – is coming to make good the bumpy little road on the existing acre, and I will ask the operator to also look at doing a small job levelling part of the Orchard Block for the “greenhouse”.  It’s a time of great anticipation at MG HQ!

And although there has been a bit happening, I have managed to maintain a calm, so I hope that all of you are in fine form too.

Yours ever MG xx

PS And here is a photo of some of the calm maintained during the week – and me ready for dinner at my place:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Post #69 Sunday 14 January 2018 – On the balcony and in the pool

Sunday 14 January 2018

I am posting this letter a little behind schedule because I was very busy this weekend doing homework for an entry level scuba diving course.  The chance to do the course only emerged last week so I had very little time to complete all the online homework which turned out be to quite intense.  If I had a little more time to practise calcuating residual nitrogen “times” using the old tables (not the now standard dive planning software) I might have become a whiz!  As it was, I really only finished just in time for the first practical day –  from which I am now trying to recover.  My ears just would not equalise easily with underwater pressure changes once we got out of the pool and into the deeper ocean dives in the afternoon.  It meant the dives were slow to start.  So once I can get ahead with the threshhold physical challenges, there will be lots of new adventures to come with scuba diving.  I will post some photos of this episode once I have finished the course.

On the balcony we had a couple of developments in recent times.  The first is that I had to bring the composting worms – the Miriams, inside because the heatwave would have fried them.  They are happily set up in a corner of the lounge room, do not be alarmed there is absolutely no smell, they just carry on as before quietly eating my kitchen scraps.  The worm factory tutors I consulted a few years ago when I decided to get the worms told me that an established colony (such as mine is now) can be anywhere between 20 – 30,000 worms. Fancy that.  Very impressive number of urban wildlife units.

Also on the balcony we had the beginning of an experiment in potato farming.  I was recently given a special potato growing bag.  Here is a photo of the bag filled with earth to the first level, the illustrated instructions I am following, the potatos I want to use as the mother plants (once they develop little shoots from their “eyes”), together with a guest appearance from my pedicure and sarong.

I was separately given some seeds (medicinal herbs and two types of sunflower) by a girlfriend. Having followed her directions carefully, I am seeing early signs of successful germination… The plants inside the apartment grow beautifully, perhaps the ones now germinating on the balcony will too.  Stand by for a progress report in the coming months.
