The Week That Was

Dear Peeps,

This week should have broken me. If it had been 6 months ago, it would have.

Yes, I am about to air some dirty laundry but it is my blog so I can.

  1. An amazing, kind and loving person in my life died. I had to walk into palliative care on my own and say goodbye. I love you MJ. The Magpies can have the flag this year.
  2. I was assaulted at a school football game. I was pushed multiple times by a parent. How is that ok?
  3. I visited my favourite people,the police, to report the assault. I waited 3hrs to get in and it took 2hrs to make a statement to be told it was not high on the priority list, and he was not sure what he could do. Ummm get the CCTV and follow up on the name I gave you. Oh and do your job👮‍♀️.
  4. More memories of my sexual abuse have risen. Sickening and sad and much worse than I thought.
  5. One other thing I can't discuss.
  6. I finally said goodbye to someone special. If my actions don't show my feelings for them, then it is time.

I should be sitting in the corner rocking but I decided to focus on the positives.

We had our school cultural night and I led the Indian dance group with two amazing teachers 🩷 and🌟 . You always need your team, my herd.

Amazing friends reached out, one drove all the way into the city to take me to the a fancy lunch. But the best thing she gave me was the hug! I needed that hug.

The best hugger in the world

My dear friend, 👩‍🍳, used to be my Tuesday morning hugger. We actually scheduled it in. She knew I had no one to hug me so we made Tuesday "Hug Day".

I have a few more Bollywood dance events coming up due to some more amazing people.

I also had a surprise birthday dinner with 🏇. Dear 🐎, we shared an exquisite meal and won $120 on the pokies. I wanted to put it all on black but he said No, it will pay for your next AFL ticket. He is a very, sensible man and someone I am proud to call my friend.

I am giving these 🖕🖕🖕🖕, to the devil. The cement truck is coming to block his hole.

Hope you had a good week and the next one is filled will love and laughter.

Love,

Ro

Packing Day

Image
Hello Peeps! Well, we are on the move again. We moved into our new home in 2022, a nice little place that I was able to buy after my financial separation. It is very small for me and the Cheeky Monkey's to live in and it was probably time to move but ...... I decided to rent the place out and look for something for us to rent. Thank goodness for S&P, we have moved in with them whilst we are finding something. The rental market is ridiculous but I can not complain as I have a roof over my head. I could be living in a tent on the foreshore. Yes, that is a huge thing in the area we live in. Many tents by the beach due to homelessness and housing crisis. Photo Credit - Moreton Bay Council That is one of the reasons I am housesitting to explore new areas and also not enough rooms in S&P's place. They would have squished me in but it is time for some me time. Anyway back to packing. I had to hire Taxi Boxes because there is no storage available. Another shortage! I paid some ...

Ro's in the wild again

Hi Peeps! Well, it has only taken about 4 years of thinking and no doing but now feels right. I love to write and share my adventures. I started this a few years back just on my Facebook page when I started solo travel. I got lots of comments and people told me they were waiting for my next posts. However, I mainly did it for me. A way to recall all my adventures and activities and wait each year for those Facebook memories to pop up. The idea of this blog is similar. I am about to embark on more adventures (I hope the English teachers reading this recognise the foreshadowing😉). Yes, I am still in Oz but I am embarking on some home adventures before I head overseas again. "Why be boring at home ?" she says. Speaking of English teachers, I am not one! I teach Business and Maths and have had to teach English and Humanities. If you like a blog with no grammar issues or proper sentence structure please move on. Don't troll me; just forget you once read a post with comma'...

Fortitude Valley - Day vs Night

Image
Dear Peeps, I was lucky to spend two nights at FV Peppers, in Fortitude Valley (FV). For those of you who don't know , The Valley is very close to Brisbane City Centre and is the night club precinct. A girlfriend and I shared the cost of the room for one night and as a treat to myself, I had the first night on my own. FV Peppers is amazing. Worth every penny to spoil yourself. You can hire out the private spa room or go to the roof top pool and spa. I took myself on a date to the spa room and just enjoyed the water and view. Here are some photos of some iconic buildings in Brunswick Street Mall. On the Saturday, we went to Enigma, which is a night club. It holds an over 30s disco every few months from 3 - 8pm, playing 80s and 90s music. We had a blast. We wore our sparkles and danced the night away. The other regular site in FV is homeless people. My grandfather always advised me to give food to the homeless, never money. If that is right or wrong I don't know. I spoke to Jazz,...
