I need to talk

5 June 2020 By Dorothy 2 Comments

Today I remembered why I started blogging and why I blogged so prolifically for so long. Having just exited a marriage, I no longer had anyone to talk to.

Coronavirus diaries: remote schooling

2 June 2020 By Dorothy 4 Comments

Coronavirus Diaries: Daily Life

22 April 2020 By Dorothy 2 Comments

Sam and I went to see a couple of houses in Geelon Sam and I went to see a couple of houses in Geelong today and in between we visited Eastern Beach. It's like a little St Kilda, without the cake shops. Or at least we didn't find any.
