Revival

A message from Brigid ....

I have been a blogger since 2005. At the height of my blogging busy-ness, I had "a small stable" of blogs on different topics: social and political commentary; desert spirituality; food; waste and ....

A few years ago I called time and ceased blogging altogether - although there was an occasional post. I had called it quits. I am an aged woman these days with a couple of serious illnesses. I am not allowed to drive. I am no longer active in organisations. I think it fair to say that I am housebound. I am active on Facebook, although I am not there as often as once I was. I have decided to embark on a re-entry into the blogging world ... beginning with The Trad Pad and, possibly, a return to my food blog, Oz Tucker. I have always used a lot of photographs on my blogs ... and I miss not being out and about with my camera.

The Trad Pad has been my blog for the lovely things of life. The controversial or political has seldom intruded. Occasionally, the spiritual has found its way in, but I kept spirituality for the blog, Desert. I don't yet know if I will revive that. I will stick pretty much to food and the lovely things of life. If I have some regularity with those two categories, I feel that I will be doing well. I hope that, with this blog new friendships can be formed and old friendships renewed; new lovelies discovered; new reflections can enter into the meaning of modern life. I would love to hear from you - particularly if you have suggestions for new topics to enter into the conversation. So, it is a new year. Let's see what it has in store, what it can bring to us. And I hope that those who share the spirit of The Trad Pad can spread the message of a world of beauty, the creativity of humanity, and the joys of simplicity and tradition. ~~~ February, 2017

A book a day keeps ignorance away

Along Miss Eagle's circuitous career, Miss Eagle has been a librarian.
This has had the effect of making her rather picky about libraries.
Miss Eagle doesn't think much of her local library.
She has transferred her allegiance and her membership to
the City Library in Flinders Lane.

There is a very civilized coffee shop with a hole in the wall if you want to grab and run.

There is a wonderful Mirka Mora mural.

Mirka Mora is one of Melbourne's best loved artists.

You are going to all my favorite places!!!! Is the Mirka Moira mural similiar to her mosiac one at Flinders street station??? The City library is a wonderful place... Did you know that it has joined with the CAE to become this wonderful place that it is... That end of town has certainly changed... I remember when I was doing a CAE course all those little eateries (Degraves street) were just starting to spring up - now it is the place to be seen... Those were the days!!!!!! I love Melbourne city...

Sharon, I can't recall the one at Flinders Street. Will have to check that out. This is a canvas and it seems to me to have a bright and happy vibe. I love Degraves Street.
