The Occasional Adventures of Betty. Cranky middle-aged chilli-loving scared-of-spiders motorcycling author looks for adventure in some strange places. Sunday, 9 August 2015. Roadkill makes me cry. Kangaroos on the school oval - a potential road risk for all of us (and especially them! My topic this time is the unbelievable sadness I feel when I see roadkill. Between Cooma and Canberra at the moment there must be a LOT of tow-truck operators and a shitload of panel-beaters making a SHITLOAD of money!

The Occasional Adventures of Betty. Cranky middle-aged chilli-loving scared-of-spiders motorcycling author looks for adventure in some strange places. Thursday, 28 February 2013. Life: a multi-Betty perspective. Biker Betty, that international woman of mystery and adventure, has reinvented herself a few times over the years. Housewife, mum, student, gay divorcee, author, biker, teacher, blogger… The latest incarnation is Sadie the Cleaning Lady by the Seaside. I get quite a kick out of seeing the spic-an...

The Occasional Adventures of Betty. Cranky middle-aged chilli-loving scared-of-spiders motorcycling author looks for adventure in some strange places. Thursday, 12 March 2015. Musings on hypocrisy and virginity tests. I was reading a mag in the staffroom yesterday as I tucked into the lovely stuffed capsicum I'd taken for lunch, and I almost choked when I read this 'In Brief' snippet, :. Seriously, ya think? Officials who truly believe they have a mandate to do whatever they bloody well like to us. The c...

Letter-writing - rediscovering simple joy. When I was a recently-transplanted Pom, back in the mid-1960s, one of the most exciting things ever was the arrival of a letter or a card all the way from England, with Nana or Grandad’s handwriting on the envelope. And then came email. How immediate! The Readers Digest 'mail' that has...

In which Betty’s day swings like a pendulum. Broken power steering belt. Fantastic. Oh, and the repair shop didn’t have a spare one. The day just keeps getting better and better. Not wanting to be late for my appointment at the school, I pressed on, beltless and a little disconcerted, (not to mention concerned about how much it wa...

Willy wagtail nest at the Post Office. Duck family at the main wharf - Daddy Duck is striding ahead to shoo away the seagulls. And my garden is flowering. Oh, how it is flowering! Waratahs, azaleas, roses, my one and only rhododendron… the clematis I planted earlier this year. the grapefruit tree…. Two different types of waratah.

The Occasional Adventures of Betty. Cranky middle-aged chilli-loving scared-of-spiders motorcycling author looks for adventure in some strange places. Wednesday, 7 August 2013. My extended absence from the blogosphere may have been mistakenly interpreted to mean that I had nothing to write about – wrong! I’ve been frantically engaged in developing ‘income streams’ (what a wanky term that is! Earning a living, socialising and trying to relax when I can. The toll on my ageing body, however, has been a bit ...

The Occasional Adventures of Betty: "52" the whale - lonely or a loner?

The Occasional Adventures of Betty. Cranky middle-aged chilli-loving scared-of-spiders motorcycling author looks for adventure in some strange places. Monday, 9 March 2015. 52" the whale - lonely or a loner? The very talented Kristin Rule. Inspired by 52's story (and because she's a creative genius) Kristin retuned her cello to 52's frequency and composed a beautiful piece of music that you can hear on Kristin's website (the link at the top of this post) or here. What a fabulous idea! I get similar benef...

Have human beings always been such arseholes? Just recently, while listening to the radio in the mornings as I sort the mail, I’ve been shaking my head so much that I probably look like a Parkinsons patient. It’s awful. Actually, it's worse than awful. The Australian Navy or a bunch of lawbreaking illegal wannabe immigrants? Um Wel...
