Let Your Heart Be Light

The silly season is upon us. Hello Santa, Merry Christmas and Happy Channukah. This has been an exhausting, challenging, mad year for many of my loved ones. Peace to all.


The funniest, funnest girl I ever met

Eight years ago today I gave birth to a nutty little monkey. My youngest daughter is going to be a stunt woman, a truck and a punk when she grows up. She shouts and makes me laugh and I couldn’t imagine a peaceful life without her. Happy birthday Miss Zen

 


Happy birthday to me

Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp still haven’t called me for my birthday, they must be sleeping


Raindrops keep fallin’

Vale Hal David


At least we never said goodbye

When I was a kid I wanted to be Pamela Stephenson. I still love her

 


That Old Black Magic

My Dad used to take his teeth out and scare my sister and I by singing this song in the dark when we were growing up. I loved it and my sister hated it. Today would have been my Dad’s 86th birthday. Love you Dad.


Fever

My darling mother turns 85 today. My mum taught me how to sing. I grew up listening to her sing along to Peggy Lee and Rosemary Clooney. Happy birthday Barbie

 


You must be tough and ruthless

Four of my favourite comedians performing a moving ode to life on the road. If you don’t like trucking, tough luck


Ham with extra cheesiness

Happy Birthday Barry, wish I could find a copy of this shirt in an op shop

 


My Big Baby

My biggest baby turns 15 today. Now we are the same age. Well, the same mental age. Those of you who know me well will say she is more mature than me. And the shrink I go to said that there’s a touch of  Edina and Saffy about our relationship. My big baby changed my life, I love her more than words. I would run in front of a speeding train for her. I can’t live without her. I used to sing her this song when she was little (minus the making love reference of course).

Happy Birthday Luscious girl. Thank God you are my daughter. I won the mothering lottery when I had you.
