Coco's coach and team, just before their first ever game! (She is #7!) They were adorable! Really sweet. Coco, and Eowyn in her game, were very determined. I am proud of them! I think it is going to be good for them to be playing basketball, and their wonderful Daddy is a great basketball player. I love the scene in 'Father of the Bride' where Daddy and daughter play basketball together, the night before her wedding. Bens has been playing basketball with Eowyn and Coco, (and Gump!) and it is lovely to watch and cherish these very precious relationships. Mum, Dad, Rachel and David are coming to lunch tomorrow, and Seren on Monday for dinner - it is brilliant being close to some of the family - and we miss the family and close friends who are oceans away. Oh, to have you all in a teensy weensy provincial insular village!!!!!!!

Personal Statement – Iowa Writers’ Workshop

Wonderful blogging community, I'm posting this statement with two purposes. 1. It kind of summarises where I want to be going, which I want to share with you 2. I'd love feedback! They've asked me to: "Include your purpose in pursuing graduate study, any research you wish to pursue, and your future vocational goals." Thanks for reading this - I feel honoured by your interest in my life!! I want to write a novel, with beautiful sentences and adroitly crafted chapters.

The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Belonging to this writing community would enable me to be disciplined in producing literature. The tutelage and mentoring I would receive is something I y...

The Story of Benjamin and Megan (We both have to write statements for Bens' Australian residency application - kind of like 'Greencard'!!)

On Sunday February 21st 1999, my close friend Josephine and I were relaxing in the library of LOGOS II, the ship we had travelled to Argentina to live and work on. We were chatting, wondering what kind of menfolk we would meet. A friendly chap popped his head in the door, introduced himself, and showed us around the library. He was wearing an oily boiler suit, and had a fabulous smile. He told us his name was Benjamin Ady, showed us how to check books out and was most welcoming. After he left, Josephine and I smiled at each other and decided we thought LOGOS II menfolk were OK! Somehow I was convinced to do a team intensive training program, which amongst other things involved working out on the quayside at five in the morning, then going for a run together, every day for six weeks. Not being a morning person, I was wishing I’d never signed up. Benjamin sent me an email mocking our early exercising, which amused me so much I stuck it up on my office wall on board the ship. He seeme...
