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 I am no longer active in organisations.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

Soap and fire : froth and bubble?


Recently, the back of the Nunawading Public Library underwent a metamorphosis. It became the Erinsborough Hospital. Neighbours had turned up. Stickers went on to doors and the roof of the library was alight with TV trickery. Miss Eagle was there to give you a behind the scenes look.

Very funny, indeed.

I hope you were not wanting to borrow a book, at the time. Nothing could interfere with a filming of Neighbours, I'm sure.

Did you get a bit part, as an "extra"?

Denis, Miss Eagle didn't get a part or a walk on. She didn't hang around forever so she's not sure how many, if any actors were involved. While Miss Eagle was doing her own photo shoot, it was all technical stuff.

However, Miss Eagle is a woman of aspirations. Before she shuffles off this mortal coil, she would like to work on a feature film. Tea lady will do, continuity girl is the real preference but if I was offered a small speaking role, well........!

Miss Eagle casts this aspiration around willy-nilly in the hope one day that someone will take pity. Suse over at Pea Soup has a dad involved with the movies so if she were to put in a word for me, that would be the best Miss Eagle could hope for at this stage. But who knows! Destiny can smile in many and abundant ways.....
