Glass Distractions

 Pardoo roadhouse, en route from Broome to Karratha 

Super quick blog tonight because I have been designing a logo and business cards….

Front of business card

Back of business card, with logo (also designed tonight)

I wrote to the art gallery in Kojonup today about selling some of my glass in her shop. The owner, Jill, has said yes (yay!) and particularly liked the cacti and spotty bowls (weirdly not what I would have chosen). But she needs things made for the 27th September for the Great Southern Art Trail, which is not much time! It occurred to me I better get some business cards to go with the pieces so I’ve designed and ordered some this evening - under $50 for 100! They are a bit rushed but should suffice for the moment.

For anyone interested, my glass website is sharonparkerglass.com 

I must confess the website doesn’t work well on a phone (yet) but should be okay on a lap top computer. Let me know if any problems!!

We had a very good drive here - all went smoothly! Increasingly, lots of lovely wild flowers on the road; strange people staying next to us (a 'spiritual healer' for instance); and a decent tavern for dinner. Oh and Mark has an interview with a US radio station about his music at 7am tomorrow morning!

Hundreds of white cockatoos at sunset 



Two years ago, this roadhouse was obliterated in a cyclone

I though this sign in the tavern was remarkably astute

I like this sign too, especially as I have an academic paper called "That's not my job!"

Lazy Day - With Electricity

  Tom Price Caravan Site, Tom Price  After a brief shop and coffee in Tom Price, we were planning to hike one of the gorges in Karijini. Tom Price shopping and coffee Very very long train - hundreds of carriages However, we changed our mind and opted for a lazy day- knowing we had a powered site waiting for us at the caravan park. We are having some gas and inverter issues, two separate problems to my knowledge, so the thought of unlimited power was appealing.  Mark wrote a song, I worked on my mosaic, we had a brief walk, several visits from a young autistic kid determined to play Peppa Pig on Mark's speaker, and dinner at home. I finally figured out how to upload photos for this blog so can publish it now! Lovely purple flowers (mulla mulla) Walk out the back of our caravan park Local views Weird tree - Black on the inside and white on the outside Our campsite Half finished mosaic An uneventful day, which we both appreciated.

Monks, Monasteries and The Mat

About to leave Checklist on dashboard   Dalwallinu Caravan Park, Dalwallinu We left home around 1pm, after a quick visit to mum in Mounts Bay hospital (should be out soon), final packing, and last minute instructions to the kids (eg  “don’t leave the heater on the whole time we are away”).  Despite the checklist - prominently stuck to the glove box - we managed to leave the mat behind. On Day One! Saying bye to Talia!  Saying bye to Melissa!  We are ready ! It was pouring with rain as we drove through Perth and I was anxious about the weight of the van and braking distances as we pulled up to stop at lights.  But about an hour north, the rain and roads cleared. Within a couple of hours, surrounded by the vast sky and clouds with spotty orange eucalyptus trees lining the road, I had a fantastic feeling of freedom. Unfortunately, intermittent reports about Dad (in Albany hospital) were not good, so a bit of trepidation too. Skies clearing Already lovin...

Nostalgia Trip

  12 Viewway, Nedlands Packing has made me remember our last campervan holiday. Sixteen years ago, around the same time of the year, we set off in a 28 foot motorhome across Europe for several months. The three kids slept in the area above the cabin - that is how tiny they were! You can see some scenes below - bike-riding in Bruge, dancing in Spain, playing boules in France, throwing snowballs in the Alps m, and Talia carrying Melissa (an obsession of hers at the time, something to do with the Sound of Music). We had so many crazy adventures! But that is another blog :-) Me and the kids in Bruge  Suzy in Spain Playing boules in France Alex joined us in Italy Not sure where but you can see Talia carrying Melissa   We will miss them on this trip! Talia and Melissa are in charge of the house and Suzy is back in Melbourne. If our current trip is half as good as this one was, it will be great! :-)
