Perspective Asteroids stand sentinel In universal time and space Transporting Subliminal Saturnalian aliens Exuding ecstatic euphoria Seeking Selecting hosts Propagating Phoenix phantoms- Forever forgeries
The above emanated from a photograph I took of raindrops on the outside of a restaurant window, last Sunday. After fiddling with filters, asteroids appeared in my minds eye.
I read a couple of times, traces of human DNA have been found in meteorites on Earth.
My husband just told me asteroids have been found to have building blocks of life.
Imagine them helping to create glitchy lifeforms – the poem in a nutshell.
I laughed out loud when I came across this picture on FB. I have included a rough pronounciation in Black Country English.
Recently, we unpacked the soft toys. A dusty, sun-bleached, Pooh, of late 80s vintage emerged.
This year’s Yule tree again includes a bauble depicting a snapshot of Pooh walking their path. I feel a connection with Pooh. They are one of my alter egos.
However, my soulmate in the journey poem below is a Tiger rather than a Tigger or a Piglet.
A shared legato Almost deafening Mezzo-staccato of “see-hearing” Zooming by Fermata Reflecting on The path here
Out of step Out of time Even in minority Faction of a fraction of inversion Lightness of spirit greyed by inner dark Misguided Misunderstood Yearning to fit in To be part Of something
Journey’s search Whilst learning life Decades taught Idealist dreams to be Reality soured Came to nought
There is I and those closest to Wakeup to then and now You gentle old Airhead fool For thirty-two years counterpoint In duet steadied the line A little out of step a little out of time A shared legato
World’s a blur of noise In home’s sotto voce Dark thins to quiet glimmer In warmth of being known In coda we crescendo
Word sketch Urban nature Provides space To race Or to ponder What lies yonder Out of reach James’ magic peach Synapses snap Cogs whirl Mind unfurls This biological being’s Walking forth Sharing mirth Giving birth Ideas sparkling Magnificent malarkey Discombobulated balderdash Audaciously avalanching altitudially advancing
When Ansett airline closed down in 2002, we became loyal to Virgin Blue then Virgin Australia.
This morning, thinking we would buy a Virgin lounge pass, we discovered there is no longer a Virgin lounge at Cairns airport.
We dropped the Apex car rental off an hour earlier than necessary at 11:00am, so that we had plenty of time to navigate roadwork delays between Port Douglas and Cairns.
Naively, we believed we would able to drop our bags off at the airport, to access the shopping and dining opportunities prior to flying at 2:50pm.
We were greeted by closed Virgin Australia check-in desks, opening at 1:20 pm. Hopefully, we sit, occasionally gazing over at Virgin staff seated behind the check-in desks.
Other passengers arrive, speak to smiling staff, they are sent away.
I had refused to believe an online review of Virgin having become a budget airline.
During this time, I have changed employer twice, we tied the knot, and we moved home from Lewisham to Leichhardt to Morningside to Deception Bay to Hamilton.
The green jacquard sofa is a statement piece—its classic silhouette and textured botanical pattern lend a traditional touch, reminiscent of Art Deco revival or mid-century refinement. The bolster pillows with navy velvet, gold embroidery, and tassels reinforce this elevated feel with a hint of vintage European flair.
2. Artworks
The framed wall art—with stylized, tribal-inspired human figures—acts as a cultural and graphic focal point. The visual language suggests influence from Indigenous or African art, contributing depth and a storytelling element. Their placement—symmetrical and oversized—adds a modern gallery wall sensibility.
3. Color & Texture Play
Deep green, navy, ochre, and cream form a harmonious palette that feels grounded yet expressive. The mix of plush (velvet), embroidered (central cushion), and woven (ottoman) textures reflect curated, intentional layering.
4. Lighting & Accessories
The twin black lamps with gold bases and sculptural stacked-globe design are bold and elegant—leaning into Hollywood Regency or modern glamour. Accessories like the tray with clean-lined glassware, wooden stump side table, and ceramic side table all add tactile contrast and a natural element.
5. Surrounding Environment
The indoor plant, large glass doors, and visible natural light contribute a breezy, fresh element to balance the more ornate features.

In all of our previous homes the outlook has ranged from garden and street views to brick walls and a glimpse of sky.

Since moving into a ninth floor unit (apartment / flat / condominium / suite / tenement) with windows facing north and east I have attempted to capture the aspect.

Looking out the horizon and features appear closer than shown in these images.

We feel incredibly fortunate to be here in this spot.
