My Journal:

March 2006

The year is flying by! I've done some scribbling, mostly for my own amusement, but no new projects as yet. At the end of next month I leave for the UK, where I'm planning on doing some family research. There are a few family stories that might be useful for a story idea that I have. After the UK, I'm going to Italy for 3 months. I'm looking forward to being 'out of contact' and hope to use the time to do some serious writing. Here in Murphys Creek the drought continues. The grass is brown and dry and my plants look parched. I don't dare water them too often; the dam is empty and underground water levels are dropping. I still see king parrots now and again, but the lorikeets have moved to greener places. There are plenty of snakes around so the kookaburras laugh often.
