So many of my favorite people have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer recently…some in the midst of battle, some in nervous remission, others rejoicing in a long term clean bill of health…all fighting or having fought the good fight against this insidious creature.
A dear friend who has been gallantly fighting her own battle has just been delivered new, disarming news requiring her to draw deeply on yet another of her inner wells of reserve. She is strong, brave and absolutely determined to grow old with her babies and doting husband. I know that she draws inspiration and courage from kick ass, uplifting songs…all types of fabulous ‘go feck yourself’ pieces of music. My mission is to build a compilation of the best of the best.
Help me help my friend Moo fight the fight. My mission? To build Moo a playlist she can plug her iPod earphones into…sing along to, scream at, draw inspiration from or lull herself to sleep by.
All who are receiving my blog feeds and anyone finding my blog when searching for their own personal inspirations….please post me some of your personal faves?
Thank you in anticipation fellow supporters of survivors on a mission. Love u Moo…we will conquer! Oh yes we will! ♥
Wang Wang and Funi are cute and chubby in a lazy kinda way…equally the petite red Pandas dozing in their warm bamboo sunshine. We sigh in awe, photograph from every angle then mosey on to Pixi’s beloved Meerkats intent on simultaneously sunning their tummies, digging a new 15 bedroom underground mansion and keeping watch for the next food delivery, followed by Brazilian Tapir, Peccary and Dusky Langur…
It’s starting to rain…a perfect reason to divert intentions to equally intriguing creatures, this time in the form of Patricia Piccinini’s ‘Once upon a time…’ exhibit at the Art Gallery of South Australia…
down…but wait! Too much to do and see within a short weekend. First up a brisk walk to ‘Bark in the Park’…a doggy morning hosted by Stevie Jacobs (wee weather guy) where Shih Tzu rub shoulders with Alsatians…or rather take a keen interest in each other’s pants while attempting to wriggle out of their cute woolie jackets lovingly selected by doting owners, while others examine the obstacle course and weigh up the worth…treat for completing or dignity for not?
Next stop the High Street…top of Rundle actually…oozing hip boutiques and coffee houses, the evening will find the same street buzzing with Restaurant/bar trawlers. A dawdle down to the Mall…tacky shops, quick exit past interesting architecture unique to the region, Cathedrals and lush parkland surrounding lakes adorned with ducks and on to the Markets.
Largest in southern hemisphere, we absorb the hustle of fish mongers jostling with spruiking
