The time has come... for me to start blogging...

The time has come the walrus said to talk of many things...

Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax, of cabbages and kings.

And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings.

Oh those poor, dear oysters :(
Do you know this poem - The Walrus and the Carpenter?  From Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872 - such an amazing author, one very imaginative mind.

Okay. . . so somewhere along the line, I decided I wanted to hike the Three Capes Track in Tassie.    It was an early start on a Tuesday morn and after a Monday filled with shopping and packing it was quite an achievement when the straps were tightened on my rucksack.

Papers spread before us... we shared interesting tidbits, news is highly overrated me thinkst.  The highlight - our stars - Pisces for us both.  Hard to believe I know!  Our traits it seems, come from opposite ends of the Piscean spectrum.

Today was such a bleak day…  We already had it planned and what a good way to spend a rainy day. First port of call the Gallery Café.  Cappuccino for me, chai latte for my most wonderful friend Susan.  And… a sweet little plaited pastry topped with pecans for us both.   Then . . . to the gallery we must go, to the gallery we must go . . .  Quilting and patchwork – amazing!!! http://www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0006/140100/Coverlet_banner.jpg
