About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.
The transition of colour in the clouds is really quite striking! I love that inky blue … kind of reminds me of the streaks I had in my hair some years ago 🙂

I was a bit ahead of the time. Brightly coloured hair hadn’t caught on yet – at least in Toronto – and I did draw stares.

Lovely clouds, the kind I used to play games with: what do they look like?

Yes I can see a cocker spaniel lying on his back head thrown back waiting for a tummy rub, a face and an roman style urn. We used to spend hours playing that game.

I love clouds – they can elicit so many different emotions and are simply often just beautiful.
