This girl

Don't be sad that she's gone. Be happy that she came to the Boy Factory and made all our lives better.

Tasmania

There aren't many schools that give the students (and staff!) a chance to go to Tassie on an excursion. Plus the kids were angels. And I was on the trip with one of the best chicks ever!

Markets and Melbourne in general

Mum's good fabric decision

HSC. Over for another year.

I teach them. But they also teach me.

A trusty steed

Henry, the 17 year old Mazda, took me places. Bondi, Petersham, Redfern, back to uni, the Randwick to Silverwater run. He did the New England, the Pacific, the Great Western. Weddings, 21sts, 30ths, 50ths, funerals. Through a few break ups and shiny new relationships. So driving lessons, and deso sessions. Ha few crashes and so many fantastic adventures.

But when he started making noises that I would call "unreliable" and would make Sparky dub him The Death Trap, it was time to trade him in. Granted, he is old enough now to have his own driver's license...

Parting is such sweet sorrow! Farewell Henry!
