Blogging the Beautiful ~ Searching the Sustainable ~ Reaching out in Friendship
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 I am no longer active in organisations.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

Shelter from the wind and the cold?
The camellias are trying to get in the living room window.
I like the color, it's bright and pretty. So I take it your weather is a wee bit on the chilly side. We've been high 90's, humid and many days of rain. It's a little uncomfortable but I still like warm over cold. Hope you have a happy weekend.
We are on the tail-end of winter with a bit of spring creeping in. Melbourne, at the bottom end of the continent, has cold, wet winters and dry, hot summers. That's generally speaking because Melbourne is known to have four seasons in one day. There is a lot of talk about the weather - mainly because there's a lot of weather to talk about! So this afternoon I'm off to the football to see the Melbourne Storm beat the Brisbane Broncos. I'm really a Broncos girl but barrack for the Storm now I live here. So they are my two favourite teams so Herself and I are off this afternoon on a day when the weather is forecast to be its usual unpredictable self. Showers on and off are predicted so I will talke my raincoat because where I will be sitting there is no cover. Have a lovely day - and keep kitty out of the laundry! Have you been to this site: http://icanhascheezburger.com/ It is wonderful.
