I am home. I love returning after a long holiday, especially when I’ve done a bit of camping, everything seems so comfortable and easy! I will write about my trip as I have handwritten daily since I have been away and have many little stories to tell.
I have returned home to my son having two broken hands and a black eye. He fell over and broke his hands outside a shop in town. Whilst he was away a cricket ball hit him in the eye. I am concerned about him.
I spent the afternoon transporting the stuff from the car to the house and have yet to do all the washing and proper unpacking. My family and friends called around to catch up so the afternoon was mostly pleasantly spent and now the work lies before me.
I have heaps of email and feeds to scan and mostly delete, because I feel I would never catch up. I have a pile of snail mail to work through. I read 5 books and saw a few movies whilst I was away so I’ll also be mentioning them down the track.
We travelled through the hills to Wollongong and spent a week there and home via the coast. It was a great trip.
Greetings from Woolongong
I am on holidays. I am quickly writing a post from Woolongong as I did last year from Broken Hill. I like this city. It has beautiful beaches and the weather has been great. The journey here was sensational. We went to lots of National Parks and saw beautiful countryside. I have lots of videos to share when I get home.
Happy New Year all.
The Book of Lies by James Moloney
I want one! A book of lies, that is. The amazing book that this novel from James Moloney is centered around has the ability to discern if a person is speaking the truth or a lie. Truth can be a slippery thing though and the characters in this book soon find the the book can be an unreliable voice. I enjoyed it. There must be a sequel though as there are stories left untold when arriving at the last page. On his webpage, the author states the sequel is due in 2006. I haven’t come across it yet.
James Moloney is one of my favourite writers. We teach “A Bridge to Wiseman’s Cove” to our year 8s. I think “Lost Property”, which I read earlier in the year was one of my favourite reads for this year. My son also enjoyed it.
