Lighthouse by the Waifs
Lighthouse is from the soundtrack for the Australian film by Sarah Watt, Look both Ways. It's the only song from this movie that I could find on this "blip" site.Unfortunately the CD is no longer available.

The fires are still burning
The fires are still burning but the children do not wake
No more will their happy chattering be heard
Silenced by the thunder of implacable might
The love of their parents could not save them
Too fast came the flame, the irresistible heat, no warning no signal
Beyond fighting, only succumbing
Together they lie in the everlasting peace
But taken too soon, our hearts ache, we can only weep.

My Other Blog - Friday, January 30th
My Other blog - Below is a preview - I mistakenly posted this entry here but will also put it in the visual image blog - come and have a look if you like,
It was the third day of 43 degree temperatures. It's getting to all of us. Photos show my messy desk at school and the very popular air conditioner which lives in my little corner of the staffroom. It has various silly old Xmas figurines arranged on top.

7 things Meme
Woops! I complained at the Bloggers Feast last night (La Camera, southbank, Melb.) that nobody had tagged me for the 7 things meme and my best buddy and web guru suzi tapp informed me that she had tagged me - and I hadn't read her blog carefully enough to notice! Even though I have listed her blog as a blog I read.So my cover has been blown. I'm only a tryhard blogger, not the genuine article - not that anyone said that, they were too polite. so anyway, here I go, a little bit of self indulgence down memory lane!
1. When I was 4yrs old I fell off the bikeshed roof into the chookyard and broke and dislocated my elbow. It took 3 operations to correct the damage,forcibly breathing in chloroform for the anaeasthetic - I had nightmare about it for years.
2. When I was 7yrs old my QLD family and I moved down to cold old Melbourne to live - Dad had a transfer and promotion with the Bankers and Traders Insurances Assessors.
3. At 10 years of age I badly wanted to be a ballerina, started calisthenics at the local church and joined a trampolining club where I learnt lots of tricks.My "tramp" teacher Mr Nick, also encouraged my singing and used to get me to perform songs at various events.
4. I simply adored calisthenics and continued to participate in competitions until after the birth of my 3rd child at age 35yrs.
5.My love of dancing and singing led me to get VERY involved with a number of school musicals over the years.
6.I met my husband when I was 16yrs at the Moorabbin Town Hall old time dancing, married 5 years later and have just notched up 36 years of marriage - omg!
7. I've been teaching English in the same high school for the last 20 years and am grateful for the advent of digital technology that has sparked up my pedagogy a little.
Now I tag Nina Davis, Lisa Dumicich, Marie jose Mills, Leigh Knight, Maya Abeyratne, Helen Evans plus 1 other that I still have to work out.
