Ready to Begin Again … Again


Oh, hi there!

After a too long a hiatus, I’m really pleased to say that in the coming days, I’ll be posting a new interview. I cannot believe my last post was in April 2017. That wasn’t (only) down to having forgotten my password. A lot has happened in the last year and a half. I look forward to sharing it with you all soon. Until then, I hope you’ll come back soon, and I hope not to be gone so long again.

The photo of the umbrellas suspended in mid-air is one I snapped in July last year while waiting to see the band Heaps Good Friends perform down an Adelaide city laneway (Tam-O-Shanter Place) for Scouted, a music showcase as part of Umbrella: Winter City Sounds. The photo does not really relate to anything I’m writing here, other than having been in the back of my mind to use on the site. If you’re in Australia (for those who are not, remember our seasons are opposite to those of the U.S.), it’s likely you won’t need an umbrella right now except, perhaps, for the sun. But I love the colours and thought you might enjoy it.

Heaps Good Friends have a charming song called “I Could Eat a Whole Packet of Yo Yo’s”. Yo Yo biscuits are uniquely South Australian and, given I spent a good part of my childhood in front of the TV with a packet of them and a mug of Milo, to the band I say, “I think we should be friends, friends”.

Chat soon.
