Muffin has been on supposedly bed rest since she had her neutering operation. Unfortunately she didn’t heal to well and had to be confined for longer than the customary ten days. For fifteen days we saw her clean and fluffy looking like a miniature old English Sheepdog but I have to say it brought a smile to my face seeing her joy at returning to her friends in the dog park.
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.
I have a lot of learning to do in regard to this as well but each one gets just a little bit better but for things like play stills just don’t quite get the activity.

Congratulations to Muffin and the proud parents. I hope all goes well from here in.

She is indeed. Tomorrow she has been invited to a dog’s birthday party. That will be interesting.
