About Me

My photo
Hello there from sunny Nth Qld in Australia...the luckiest country on the planet AT THE MOMENT! I'm retired and recently widowed. I love to travel . Airplane, boat, walking but mostly by means of my motorcycle. I love to garden too. I have a wee small doggie named George and an old cat named Kitty. Two years on from Tim passing we three have almost sorted out living without him. I think it will be 'almost' forever more.Can't see me being over it completely if you know what I mean. I intend to fill these blogs with my journey on my bike.Too much has happened in the space between today and my last blog. This is my last ditch effort to revive my creative writing skills.

What made me do it?

Probably a midlife crisis! In a panic to reidentify myself as an individual on this planet and not lost in the daily grind and happenstance of life I braved the inky needle! I had been looking for ages for the right image to have tattooed on my shoulder when this arrived via an email. It said everything I wanted it to; mother nature, floral angel,Goddess, She and all things feminine and most importantly I had never seen it before. Also it says, 'I am not what I seem'. What is flowers is really a face...what is a face is really flowers. Nether right, neither wrong just IS.
At first I was looking for something about the size of a matchbox. I ended up with the whole of my shoulder artistically celebrating! So..did it hurt, I hear you ask? Yep! Sure did right on the verge of tears. It was worth it though.
Les from Second Skin in Townsville was the artist.
